Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering 3/8/14 - Jennifer Timko announced as a presenter - Make sure to Register Today!

Good Morning My Stampin Friends,

I'm so happy today to be able to announce (I would say introduce, but she needs NO introduction) one of our amazing presenters at the Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering on March 8th, 2014.  You can STILL REGISTER until March 1st so don't delay. Read on for event information and click here for the event registration form.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I get to announce JENNIFER TIMKO is going to be one of the presenters for our wonderful Regional Gathering. 

Current Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Member Jennifer Timko has been a demonstrator since October 2006 and she has loved every minute of it. She grew up in Orlando and moved all over while she was in the Air Force, until she settled in Warrenton, VA in 2001. While Jennifer has always loved Stampin' Up! Ribbons she has recently been falling in love with our punches and our Big Shot dies because they add so much WOW for such little effort. Jennifer is mostly a card maker. She does love MDS and the mechanics of 3d items but cards are her happy place. Her style is generally clean stamping. Not always simple, but she loves the clean lines and crisp layers. She also tries to add something special to each card to make it feel unique to the intended recipient. Being on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team this year has been a highlight of her Stampin' Up! career and she feels its an amazing experience to be able to share what she loves making, with so many people. Lets give a warm welcome to Jennifer Timko.

Make sure to spread the word about this event. The more friends we get together, the more fun we’ll have. Use hashtag #NoVaStampingFriends on your social media to spread the word and get friends to join you, and when you share photos of the cards you’re bringing for the display boards or photos of your swaps. It makes us easier to find each other on social media.

Please bring your full card in a clear envelope with your name and information on a post-it note on the back of the card. Several of these cards will be picked to be finalists in our card contest and the winners will be voted on by the attendees and prizes will be awarded. The cards on the display boards could be used for future events and will get donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
