Leadership Shares Part II

I have more fun shares from our Stampin' Up Leadership 2012.  Check these out!

 
This uses one of my FAVs in the new Ocassions Mini, called P.S. I love you!  These strawberries look good enough to eat.  Some ladies say they see a bikini in the strawberries, I don't see it....must be these old eyes!

Isn't this precious?  I love it and will be showing my customers and downline how to make this adorable cards and any others they like that I will post here, or have on my board in my Craft Studio at home.  If you see anything you like and need measurements, etc, I will be happy to email or post them here, just let me know.

I love this gorgeous card, so vibrant and happy!  Here is a look at it from another angle.

Gorgeous, right?

They had a bunch of sample cards on a clothes line with clothes pins, that's why you see them on these pics....sorry, wish I could have taken them off.... :-)

Are you loving the Apothecary Stamp Set?  I sure do, and this is another example why, just so pretty!

 
O.K. Missy Shipman made this project, and you will never guess where she got the premise for it!  If you guessed from our Clearance Rack showcasing the "Christmas Keepsake Box" you would be 100% correct, now this is so stinkin clever!  She just changed up a few items and here you go, a whole new look for a totally discounted price!  I love this and have ordered some for a class I will be hosting soon in my Stampn' Studio (Covington, Georgia)

I must say the executives at Stampin' Up will do anything to show us a good time!  Check out the CFO doing a dance with one of our stampers!

They were outstanding!  I was just hoping Scott wouldn't have a heart attack after all that dancing.  They put on a great show and they danced my kind of music, Salsa!!!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Shares from Leadership Conference

I still have tons to share with you from Leadership 2012 in San Antonio, TX.  What a beautiful State it is!

Stampin' Up always treats us well, and we had some fabulous shares from some very, very talented ladies, so let's get started!

 
Here is a beautiful scrapbook page Stampin' Up shared as a sample...beautiful little girl too....don't know who she belongs to, but she is a cutie.

Using the same Stamp Set, they displayed this adorable little Happy Birthday Wand, so clever.... :-)

Don't these strawberry from our "I Love You" Stamp Set in the Ocassions Mini look good enough to eat?

Clever, clever, clever, love this DSP from the Ocassions Mini and look what the did with one of the stickers.

How about this to spruce up some regular old plastic forks and napkins?  Love, love, love our new doily sizzlet!

Gorgeous right?  Lot's of lots of sample I have to share with you.  But I also want to share this sweet picture.

These BEAUTIFUL ladies are Shannon West (left) Stampin' Up trainer and she is fabulously talented.  She made the apron she had on herself with what looks to be maybe some new fabric coming up in our new Big Catalog.....hmmmm.  And of course my Gorgeous Upline, Patty Bennett!  I just love her!!

Had to share these pics, aren't these women simply amazing?  I still get tense just looking at the pictures again!  My goodness what strength, endurance and flexibility, right?

Last one for tonight, WOW, WOW, WOW.....unbelievable, but try because I saw it!!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

Back from San Antonio, Texas/Leadership

Let me just say WOW!!!!  Stampin' Up knows how to treat their demonstrators!  Remember this?:

The invite

Well here we go, let's start with the awesome Decor!

 

Some light Hordevours and Refreshment (all non-alcholic), beautifully decorated for the theme.

This was on the screen when we walked into the auditorium

Then our CEO Shelli Gardner introduced our entertainment for the evening, only after hitting the "gong", very appropriate, I think!

Here is the how the FABULOUS entertainment started

Unbelievable what this fabulous folks can do with their bodies!

Let's just there is NO WAY I would ever think of doing this!

He was almost to the top of the stage near the drapes, unbelievable!  When we left, we  received a fabulous new Stamp Set from the Upcoming 2012/2013 Big Catalog, AND some "engraved" chop sticks, very classy!

 

Sorry, can't show you the new stamp set "yet", however, I can stamp a card and show "that" to you later!

Stampin' Up Leadership 2012

I am so blessed to be at the Stampin' Up Leadership event in San Antonio, Texas.  We are having a blast!  I have some fabulous roomies whom I have never met before yesterday, but I was not worried at all.  We are all stampers, and stampers are nice people!  Here is a little gift I made for them.

They loved it.  Here it is sitting on our bed in the hotel room.  Sorry for the quick post,  I will post more pics tomorrow of some of the fabulous projects we are making, the wondermous show we attended tonight, etc. 

Tired, and must get some rest!  Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more fabulous samples and SWAPS these next coming weeks!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Stamp Club 2012

A new year, so some new members in our 2012 Stamp Club.  We met yesterday and had a great time!  We got to play with new tools/toys........so much fun!

Here are the girls using the new "Edgelit Die", so cool, everyone loved it and no problems using it, yay!!  Can you see Sheila being her usual "precise" sefl!  Love it!

 
Ms Rosie is using the "Framelits" die, easy peasy, everyone loved these neat and cute little dies!

 
I love how our stamp club group works together as a "team" and help each other out when needed (usually it's because they've been chatting and not "listening" to my instructions, lol).

We are using the fabulous new Twitterpated Fabric and will be using the matching Twitterpated Designer Series Paper for our matching card.  Love, love our new goodies!

 
Sweet Emily was embarassed I was taking her picture, but she was sweet enough to let me do it anyway.  She is so beautiful, and we have been friends for YEARS!!!  Love ya Em!!

 
Here they are putting together their fabric bookmarks they will eventually become once we are done.

Ahhhh, success! Bookmarks done, aren't they gorgeous?   Great job ladies!

 
Shelly and Barbara showing us thier fabulous bookmarks and their matching cards.  Beautiful girls...:-)

Here is Beth, I am so proud of her!  She just started stamping in August and look at her fabulous project, she is already a Pro!  Great job Beth!!

 
Mary and Sheila with their completed projects....I think we had a successful Stamp Club meeting girls, yes?

And I end here with the fabulous Rosie!  Is she just not a hoot!  Who would have thought you could use your bookmark as a headband! lol.....I LOVE YOU sweet Rosie!!!

Here is my completed bookmark... I love it!  Next time I think we can add some Tulle to give it some pouf....lol!

Sweet Centers Class Part II

We had a nice time at our second Sweet Centers Card Class, in spite of the yucky rainy evening!  Thanks ladies for coming out in the rain.

Wendy was being silly as she didn't want her picture taken so she posed with a heart, so cute.  She brought her sweet friend Christy sitting right next to her, and then Sheila....sweet friends.

Here is sweet Fontainne who came over rain and all, plus bless her heart she was catching a cold, and made it through the whole class....love ya girl!

Sheila is just about done with her cards here.  My sweet daughter Monica was also in attendance and did a beautiful job on her cards, but the "stinker" wouldn't let me take her picture!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Get Well

I made this card for a good friend's Mother-In-Law who is having surgery tomorrow.  Hope she likes it.

I used Very Vanilla and Basic Black cardstock for this card.  I like how it gives the card a nice finish, and I ADORE our new sizzix die which can be found in the new Occasions Mini which is now live!

Here is a close up of the new dies and how beautifully they layer up.  I can see myself making a ton of crads with these fabulous sizzix dies!

I look forward to reading what you think, please leave me a a comment.

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Fabulous Gift!!

I posted several weeks back a gorgeous invitation from Stampin' Up to our yearly "Leadership Conference" scheduled for next week in San Antonio, Texas.

Well, I have an absolutely phenomenal Upline, her name is Patty Bennett, you can visit her website here: pattystamps.com

She sent those of us attending Leadership a fabulous gift!  Take a looksie:

Eeeek, I just squeal with appreciation every time I look at these!  Can you believe along with everything in this bundle, she was also thoughtful enough to include and ship the clear plastic tote?

 

Mind you, I love it all, but this is just the icing on the cake!  What a fabulous letter, and made using our My Digital Studio software....love it!

Look at the beautiful My Digital Studio Card!  She is the "Queen" of My Digital Studio, and am so looking forward to hanging out with her and the rest of our team next week!

Look at the gorgeous My Digital Studio tags she made for us....beautiful!!!

Here is the clear plastic tote that fits "perfectly" inside the Canvas tote from "Thirty One".

What is simply amazing is that I have the smaller tote that matches this perfectly I ordered last year from my dear friend Emily Stovall who sells "Thirty One" here locally, in case your interested...wink, wink.... :-)  Here is the link to Emily's site if your interested: www.mythirtyone.com/stovall

I am so super jazzed about attending Leadership in San Antonio next week.  I will be posting pics while I am there, so keep your eyes peeled, but also will continue my usual shares this week!

Thank you Patty for already making an exciting trip, extra special!!!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!
