Welcome, welcome, welcome to everyone! All of us here at Papertrey Ink are so excited for this year's online Stamp-a-faire event! It is going to be an amazing opportunity to learn new things, get some stamping done and interact with other paper crafters around the world!
Tonight we are kicking off the festivities with our "Campfire Meet & Greet"! We provided some yummy s'mores recipes earlier in the week and we hope that you are enjoying something sweet as you finish getting ready for tomorrow!
I have asked each of the team members to contribute to a little video footage, allowing you to have a little face-to-face time with each of them even though this is not a live event! Without further ado, here's the video!
If you would like to interact with other stampers who are preparing for the big day tomorrow, be sure to stop by the thread we have started especially for tonight's Meet & Greet in our forum HERE.
Below you will find an InLinkz list which will allow you to "meet & greet" fellow stampers from around the world and give everyone a peek into your preparations for the big day! Share a link to a photo, video or blog post of yourself with your Stamp-a-faire gear, perhaps with a group of stamping friends that you are getting together with tonight, where you are in your journey if you're on the road or anything else you are doing to prepare for the big day! Be sure to let us know where you are posting from as well!
Two of the participants who post here tonight will be selected to receive a $25 PTI gift certificate and will be announced on our Monday night Stamp-a-faire winners post. You have until noon EST, tomorrow (Saturday, July 21st) to add your link here. We look forward to seeing what you share here as well as having you back here tomorrow for all the Stamp-a-faire festivities!

Eeek! I have a busy day tomorrow…running a 5k in the morning,,. Probably won’t get to play until evening… But the kits are ready! Have fun everybody!

I am so looking forward to tomorrow. I am stamping by myself here in Bloomingdale, IL and love everything papertrey. It is amazing to think anyone around the world can participate.

Thank you Design Team for the great greeting video, and for all the hard work in preparing for SAF. It is great to see and hear from each of you. Nichole, I am full of gratitude that you are doing SAF online this year so all of us may participate! Really looking forward to tomorrow, learning some new techniques and devoting the entire day to crafting (albeit alone in my little NW corner of the USA). Let the fun begin!
Karen B. says
What a fun video! I enjoyed seeing where everyone lives and meeting the design team. You are ALL so talented! I am excited for tomorrow! Thank you all for your hard work and for bringing this to all of us!

I am so disappointed I won’t be able to join you tomorrow due to some poor planning on my part…but hope to check in on Sunday and hopefully get my order in before 10:30 pm Central time on Saturday. Have fun everyone!

What a great video welcoming us to SAF! It is so fun to hear from the Design Team! Thank you Nichole and DT for all your hard work and organization to bring us this fun event. I’m also by myself here in Oregon enjoying a mostly sunny day waiting for the creative fun events to get underway!

We are driving home tomorrow from a week’s vacation. My husband will be driving so I will be ‘viewing’ SAF on my iPad. I will be placing my order before we hit the road. Thank you for making SAF an online event this year.
Joy Hadden says
I’m so excited! I’ve got my bags of goodies and supplies packed, along with a few munchies — this is going to be a wonderful day learning new techniques with PTI friends.
Debbie Wilson says
Excited, excited, excited!! I can’t wait for tomorrow. Look forward to PTI techniques and challenges, good companionship and a great time!

I’m unfortunately not able to participate on Saturday, but hope to check out all the fun on Sunday! Enjoy everyone!
JeanD says
I’ll be following along in Astralia if you start before I have to head off to bed š Otherwise I’ll check all the activities out after I get home from church and lunch – being way out of your time zone is a bit of a pest bt at least I can see what you got up to.
Ginger says
Happy Stamp-a-Faire everyone. Me & a friend are joining in from the uk. Have a great time xx
Wendy ten Hove says
Hi all! I’m looking forward to this day in sharing our love for this hobby and Papertrey in particular! I’ll be joining from the Netherlands, starting from 1 pm for me. Won’t make it ’till the end I’m afraid, ’cause that will be early tomorrow morning, ha ha! Wishing you all lots of fun!
Hugs, Wendy
Cheryl B. says
This is such a special time, whether you are crafting alone(could be very blissful and theraputic) or with a gang of rowdy friends(cue the laughter). Just have a great time!
