Oui! Oui! Oui!

Last week was our monthly art group, Paper Soiree, held at Paper Tales in the Point Loma area of San Diego. The group has grown to 10 wonderfully creative ladies that are all so sweet! I so look forward to our monthly get together. In advance of the meeting we create an assigned project that we swap with each other at the meeting. This month the swap was a OUI Banner, and the results were stunning! I hope you enjoy a peak at our creations. You can follow our creations on our Paper Soiree Swap Board on Pinterest.

Here are our creations:





 The above is my banner and the close-ups of the individual pieces.
 This is the beauty that Lorraine made.
 This lovely piece was designed by Michelle.
 Pam B. created this gorgeous banner.
 And I was the lucky recipient of the creative jewel, made by Pam W.
 Rosa was the creative mind behind this lovely banner.
 This wonderful piece was designed by Sandra.
And Angie created this little gem.
 
I think our swap was a huge success.  Everyone left will such a beautiful prize to hang in their home.  Next month we are swapping decorated cake boxes, and I can't wait to get back together and see what these amazing ladies created.
 
I hope you all are enjoying these last days of summer.  Boy it went fast this year!  Happy Pink Saturday to my fabulous Pink Friends.

Im so jealous that you have this incredibly talented and fun group of ladies to create with each month - the banners are stunning!!! Oh, saw your post about the Colors Run, my daughter up at OSU did that last month - she looked about the same as you and your husband afterwards - ha, ha. Hope you have a fun Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Those are some very creative ladies and banners. I'm curious how the cake boxes will turn out too. In fact, I'm wondering what kind of cake boxes you mean. I have an old aluminum cake plate cover - not a box at all - but thinking something decorative w/it would be fun. I'm probably just going to daydream about it and enjoy all the blogger creativity ... that's what I usually do. But I do dream! Enjoy your crafting on your cake box!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a note.

Happy Pink Saturday!
