Fresh Inspiration Day at Carina

Last Sunday we gathered at Carina for another fun Paper Angels Event...

our June Card event 'Fresh Inspiration'.

The afternoon included the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set pg 72

and 4 deluxe cards made on the day.

Fundraising on the day was towards our Angel Boxes for the

Mater Mothers Bereavement Program

and the aim to create some new Angel Boxes for other maternity hospitals

and childrens hospitals in Brisbane.

The day was a wonderful success!

The fabulous line up of raffle prizes helped us raise over $600 on the day.

We also had a card competition with fabulous prizes too!

Thanks again to Stampin' Up! for their support in donating hundreds of dollars of product for our lovely prize hampers. A special thanks also to Riot Art & Craft for their donations which helped make three extra prizes, thanks 'Paper Angel' Gail for organising that. Also a thanks goes to 'Paper Angel' Dianna for the lovely nest of tables donated by Interfurn International.

Our Sunday afternoon was spent enjoying ourselves making the following cards...

Here is the table I shared with my girls and Gail with hers...

These are the little handbags I made and filled with Chocolates for my guests...

There were some lovely new displays including some swaps from convention, with lots of 'Fresh New Inspirational Ideas!'

After lots of fun making our cards, we had afternoon tea, judged the card competition... then it was time for the raffle prizes!!!!!

'Paper Angel' Amanda had the honour of presenting the prizes to the winners...

The smiles of those who won...

This event the rules changed a little... in the past 'Paper Angel' demonstrators have not been a part of the prize draws. But as we kindly had donations from other companies other than Stampin' Up! the demonstrators were able to purchase tickets in the non-SU raffle prizes.

Lucky for that, 'Paper Angel' Sue who is in my 'Inspirational Angels' group won a prize...

The afternoon was fabulous all round! I just love the cards we made, and the company of fellow Stampin' lovers is always so much fun! The money we raised from the day will help towards at least two more Angel Boxes and to continue stocking up the ones already at the Mater.

Next Sunday is the Pine Rivers 'Fresh Inspiration' Day... I am sure it's not too late to be part of the fun there too!

Of course there is always the special bit about being part of the Paper Angels Group where we stay after an event and enjoy a drink and dinner together...

I am so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group!
