We used Stampin' Up's "Stampin Pastels"</div><div></div><div>These are a great tool to add to any stamper's collection!</div><div></div><div>I personally had not used the pastels very much until i ordered them. I started practicing and i was impressed with the results! </div><div></div><div>My stamp club seemed to enjoy the new technique as well! Here are some samples we did:</div><br /><div></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YDiWC5iwUf0/S5BuhEjhN-I/AAAAAAAAAP8/WjahapnJyB8/s1600-h/Card+Pics-+Sat+2-27+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444973463928387554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YDiWC5iwUf0/S5BuhEjhN-I/AAAAAAAAAP8/WjahapnJyB8/s320/Card+Pics-+Sat+2-27+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div>This first card we used So Saffron, Rose Red and Whisper White Cardstock- We stamped the images from UPSY DAISY in Versamark and then tapped on the Stampin Pastels.

I was really happy with how easy candle stamping was!! This was a new technique for me. Everyone that attended was really excited about this great project! We put the candles in a cello bag and tied witha ribbon and used the Delightful Decorations stamp set/punch to make a tag. Turned out very cute!!<br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402568326914011154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YDiWC5iwUf0/SvnHRPB8cBI/AAAAAAAAAOM/_n5bEfAo3b4/s320/candles+002.jpg" border="0" />Next event will be next Friday- Nov 20--7pm here at my house.

My sister called me from her work- whispering- b/c she wasn't supposed to be making personal calls. (although i doubt that day- anyone would have minded)</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">She said something was happening in New York at the WTC- and they think it was terrorist.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">This was after the second plane had hit.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">I told my boss- who started tuning in his office radio- and at the same time- the floor secretary must have gotten word- b/c she turned on the floor TV.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">we all gathered and watched in horrified amazement at the events of that beautiful fall day.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">My cubicle was closest to the TV- so i could sit on my desk and see it over the wall. I sat there and watched most of the morning. I don't think much work was done that day and the company let any employees go home for the day that felt the need to.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">such a scary, sad, traumatic day.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">I watched some YOu-Tube vids on it today...interesting..there was one in particular by Bob and Bri. Very good..they lived right near the WTC and videoed everything they saw. </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#993399;">That day changed everything in my mind.
