July 30, 2015 by
stampin up holiday catalog One of the many, many things I love about being a Stampin Up demonstrator is getting to be the first to see and play with all of the “new toys” that come out. At the annual Convention last week we each got the upcoming 2015 Holiday catalog, we won prizes from the new catalog AND were able to "sneak peek" order from it EVEN before demonstrators can "pre-order". Here is the video of my Holiday Catalog “box opening” Haul.

Stampin Up Convention Recap

July 29, 2015 by
stampin up convention I've just returned from Stampin Up's Convention in Salt Lake City, UT and WOW...what an amazing time. The fun, the friends, the inspiration. I went with my mom this year, she is in my downline. In Stampin Up world, I'm HER mom lol. I love being able to spend time with my Stamp It demonstrator group, so many of us are spread out across the country that we don't often get to hang out in person. We had members of our group attending from Alaska to Hawaii!! I posted live updates as they happened on my Facebook Page throughout the event. I'm still on a "high" from all of the excitement, haven't stopped smiling since I returned home. THANK YOU!!!!! I am so overwhelmed and awed by being honored with 2015 Top Sales (#4), Recruiting(#5) and Top Leadership (#6) Awards as well as being one of Stampin Up's US Top 100 Demonstrator of the Year 2015 called Founders Circle. Even more rewarding to me is the achievements from my Stamp It Demonstrator Group. These gals were "rocking" the convention stage "like a boss" this week! Congrats to:
  • Lori Mueller on earning the Mediterranean Cruise
  • Teresa Howe on
    • $20,000 Annual Sales
    • $100,000 Career Sales Milestone
    • 10 Year Stampin Up Anniversary
  • Liz Miller on her 10 Year Anniversary

tamis stampin up convention swaps I've just returned from Stampin Up's Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. I attended with some of my Stamp It Demonstrator Group, and met friends there, as well as made many new friends. What an amazing event! Aside from having fun and spending time with friends, one of my favorite parts of any Stampin Up event is the swapping.

What's a Card Swap?

A card swap is when you make a bunch of the same card, say 20, then swap with other people and come home with 20 different ideas. I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the cool swaps I came home with, and give you a couple of sneak peeks of things to come....

Doesn't matter where you are in the world, or if you even know them, when you meet a stamper you are meeting a friend. I had the opportunity last month to meet Hillary Cohen Sosebee, fellow stamper and instant friend. She sent me this super cool card from the Stampin Up Tap Tap Tap stamp set. She used a corrugated card board box for the background. Talk about fabulous craft recycling!
