VIDEO TUTORIAL: Campfire Card

2012-07-campfire-tami-white-stampinup-1Come on baby light my fire...been missing my video tutorials? I've been missing doing them. I'm happy to say that I'm back after a fantastaic summer break, and have sooo many ideas to film, it's hard to know where to start. So why not start with "what I did on my summer vacation" - this card sums a lot of it up...camping, fires AND convention! Stampin' Up! Convention that is. What does a campfire have to do with convention? This was a swap I did for convention a couple of weeks ago. It was even featured on SU's facebook (wahoo).

convention-tami-white-21I don't know how they do it, but every year Stampin' Up!'s annual convention just gets better and better! I just got back from Salt Lake City, and the most amazing week with friends (old and new). The theme was "I am..." am you are to fill in the blank. Be sure to check out the video below, the them e song is so catchy. Stampin' Up is a company about creativity, and individuality. I love that they embrace our differences. One of my favorite parts of convention each year is getting to share it with my group, I love these gals so much!
