Today's video tutorial is my new favorite card! Beautiful, simple and elegant...and very stinkin' cool. Both color and texture make this flower "pop" when it meets your eye. Using some new products found in Stampin' Up's 2011 Occasions Mini catalog (Blossom Petal Punch, Framed Tulips folder & You're a Gem stamp set) and Concord Crush from the 2011 In Color Collection. I designed this for my stamp club this month. This card is one of the rare club projects that I share on my public blog.

Jan Demo Meeting – Part 2
February 1, 2011 by
At our January Team Stamp It demonstrator meeting, Linda Cullen taught us how to shade using Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Markers. It was so super cool, using the "A Slice of Life" hostess stamp set (121895 wood, 121952 clear mount) from the Occasions mini catalog we shaded so beautifully the images popped right off the card.

Leadership – Petal Cone Coolness
January 28, 2011 by
Today's Leadership memories are kind of a "Mommy brag". 2 of my demonstrators Liz Miller and Oksana Semenska both promoted to Sr. Supervisor recently, and I'm so very proud of them (I just want to put a bumper sticker on the back of car announcing my "honor students" lol). They both got to walk across stage at Leadership, it was 
such an exciting time! This first picture is of Liz, Shelli Gardner (CEO & Co-Founder of Stampin' Up!), Oksana and myself. Below are some shots of us hanging, Liz & I with free stamps and Liz on stage. Another special part I love about SU events is visiting with my friends, Liz lives in California, Oksana lives in Florida and since I'm in Boston we don't get to see each other in person often.
Leadership – Advisory Board Breakfast
January 28, 2011 by
Here are some more pictures from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership event in Nashville. Today's memories and cool ideas are from our Advisory Board breakfast. This is a tradition where SU's AB alumni gather with the corporate team and visit. This particular day was a beautiful memory, the restaurant was in the Opryland and it was breathtaking in and of itself. The tables were set just perfectly. And we special gift, a stamp set 
that isn't coming out until Spring! How exciting. I can't show the actual set yet, but I did include a picture of the gorgeous package it came in using the Out West Stamp Set (#117052 wood, 120543 clear mount).

Take a Spin at Leadership in Nashville
January 17, 2011 by
Yeah!! I finally made it to Stampin' Up!'s annual Leadership event in Nashville, TN this past week. If you are on my mailing list, you'll know from my past mailing that I was "grounded" when my flights were canceled due to a blizzard we had in Boston. I arrived at the event a day late, but I was able to jump right in and WOW what a time it was. I'm so blessed to have been able to attend at all (even if I missed part of it). I caught right up. SU really was amazing, every event just gets better and better. I have so much to share with you and with my SU demonstrator group (note to my gals...make sure you come to the meeting on Thursday).
