Being a momstown member gets you to try new things

Last month momstown Oakville's crafty mama event was card making.  While I do consider myself pretty crafty, I had never made cards before but had been the recipient of some home made cards (which were really lovely) and wanted to try my hand at making my own.  I often hear from members that one of the many benefits they enjoy as a  momstown member is the opportunity to try new things or visit new places that they would not have done on their own.  This is exactly what this card making night was for me!

One of our momstown Oakville member, is a Stampin' Up representative and brought all of our supplies for easy assembly.  Each of us made 10 cards to take home.

Lots of tools to make our cards!

We had a mock up card for each type we were trying to make which I found really helpful.  And while we were following a template, there was still lots of opportunity to make the cards your own by choosing the stamp you used (happy birthday, thank you or something more generic like 'smile').  I have to say that I was really happy with how my cards turned out!

My first attempt at card making!

We had a great group for our crafty mama night.  Add in some snacks, drinks, good conversation and it was a fun way to pass an evening!  I will definitely be adding another card making night to the calendar again soon.  I love that I now have a supply of beautiful cards to use for many occasions.
