Flower Power Party Pics from Convention

dale-and-tami-flower-powerWe had a huge "Flower Power" party at Stampin' Up!'s conventionin Salt Lake City this past week, what fun this was!! Almost everyone (but me) was dressed in "groovy garb" and it was just hilarious! The photo in the center of the collage below is of Stampin' Up!'s Corporate Team, they all were all Groovy and Hilarious!! The picture to the right is of my self and Dale Fillmore (President of Stampin Up), and if you look below you can see him with his long black haired wig with my girls (sooooo funny).

#2 Demonstrator of the Year! THANK YOU!

stamp-itWOW!!!! I just got back from Stampin' Up!'s Annual Conventionin Salt Lake City, UT, what an amazing event. I have sooo much news, ideas and more to share with you this blog will be rockin' over the next few weeks with cool new convention ideas! One of the biggest highlights for me from convention was the annual Stampin' Up! Awards night. This photo to the right is of a few of the demos in my group (including my mom). They are the BEST! Upon check in I was surprised with a "Founders Circle" bag, which meant that I would be awarded a spot in the top 100 demonstrators of the company, and am invited to the annual Founder's Circle retreat. That's all I knew, I could have been anywhere from 100 to 1. I was shocked and shaking when they announced I had earned: Stampin' Up's #2 DEMONSTRATOR OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artistic Etchings Newsprint

artistic-etchings-no-name This simple, vintage Artistic Etchings (118517 wood, 102573 clear mount) card also used the new Newsprint Designer Series paper (117166) and the new Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder (120175). A little sponging with cherry cobbler on the edges, and a spritz gives this card the perfect amount of "vintage".

Convention or Bust! Salt Lake City here I come

because-i-care-ellen-quintin As this post makes it's way to my blog, I'm heading out to Salt Lake City, UT for Stampin' Up's Annual convention!! I'm soooo stinkin' excited I can hardly stand it. I will have lots to share from the event. One of my favorite parts of any stampin' event is swapping, this is one of my swaps that I'm bringing. It was designed by Ellen Quinton, she used the "Because I Care" Hostess stamp set.

This card was created by my downline Teresa Howe. She also used the Perfect Punches stamp set (117022 wood, 120516 clear mount) and the newsprint Designer series paper (117166).

Because I Care Hydrangea

because-i-care-jane-rappleyeaThis gorgeous sample of the new Because I Care hostess stamp set was created by Jane Rappleyea. She stamped the hydrangea in sahara sand and colored with stampin' pastels. The effect is subtle and beautiful. The colors are bashful blue, chocolate chip, pacific point and very vanilla. Because I Care Stamp Set - by Stampin' Up!

Because I Care card

because-i-care-sue-mcquiston I'm soooo excited about the new Stampin' Up Idea Book and Catalog, and one of my new favorites is the Because I Care Level 1 Hostess set (118384 wood, 120118 clear mount). The hydrangea on flower image is gorgeous!! This card was created by my downline Sue McQuiston, she's very talented and I love, love, love getting her cards. Sue enhanced this card with some sponging and used the new Vintage Wallpaper impressions (120175) folder for the Big shot for the background.
