I know! It's so funny, I took a ton of pictures of them (see my blog) in various arrangements simply because it was a big ordeal to make. One by itself isn't much, but when you have so many together, it's modern art!

I went to your blog spot and really loved the other pictures. Also the plates and napkin/cutlery bundles were very inspiring. Well done, now enjoy the conference!

Isn't it funny that most of us our colors in everyday life are the 48 colors of of stampin up. Just like the colors of the paper plates and napkins, one sees them and sure enough the colors of our stampin up world pop up in our minds while spotting them at the store. I went to the blog site too...the pictures are reallly nice. I truely believe that stampin up or card makers, have big hearts made of gold. What a fun time to make these as a group! Thanks for sharing. I get so many ideas from SCS. I am a cuttlebug person and so determine I can live without the BIG SHOT but this might have been the changing of my mind post here. You should share your photos of the colored plates and napkins, with Stampin Up, showing how paper plates can make a Stampin up person, go from the thought of the paper plate colors to a beautiful table display like your pictures show. I couldn't sleep andn seeing this made me smile. The possiblities with the matchbox are endless...I know I neeed the BIG SHOT now and the matchbox die cut...

Stamping Happiness, I totally know what you mean. I was so hesitant for months to spend the big bucks on the Big Shot, but when I was trying to come up with a little take-away gift for each woman at the conference, and saw some delightful little samples and possibilities, I took the plunge. My Big Shot was purchased JUST before making all these, and the 320 boxes were the first things that I have created with it. Since then, my daughter needed to make a poster for an office she's running for in school, and we used the Go Go Boots and Decorative Strip alphabets to make the most adorable sign. She wants to make some of the little match boxes for when they pass out candy for their campaign. I finally caved in and don't regret the purchase. Good luck.
Thanks for all the super nice comments, everyone. You've made my day.

OMG! What a ton of work! I'm going to have to check out the details on your blog. You must've been so tired of making these by the time you were done, lol. Great job
