Convention Highlights!!!

This is Amber (one of my downline), Gavin (Amber's baby) & I. Our last day of Convention! We really had a lot of fun & I learned a lot this year! Thank you Amber for coming again with me! One of my other downline, Laurie came as well, I just didn't get to see her as much & forgot to get a picture with her. It was pretty crazy with 6,000 demonstrators there all at once.

This was me with Kristina Werner, one of my favorite blog writers. She's an amazingly talented woman & happens to work for Stampin' Up! at the home office. You should visite her blog at http://www.kwernerdesign.com/. It was really fun meeting you Kristina!!! Thanks for letting me get a picture with you.

Wooohooo!!!! The UPS man visited all of us. As a thank you to Stampin' Up! and all the business they/we give them they gave a stamp set to all of the demonstrators at convention. We got the Ronald McDonald stamp set. For those that don't know, Stampin' Up! donates $100,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities each year & they also donate $2 from each of the designated stamp set that we sell. This year the stamp set is called "Say It with Scallops". This set was already on my list to buy & I really wanted to help promote this great charity, so now I can get started right now. If you click on this picture (with me holding the stamp set), you can see an closer picture of the stamp set. This will possibly give you a little preview of something else new that you'll see in the brand new Fall-Winter Idea Book & Catalog...something I've been waiting for & wishing they would make! It's finally almost here!

Here's some more pages from my Simply Scrappin' Kit. I used the Special Delivery-Girl scrapbooking kit. The colors don't look that great, but in person they are nice. I really wish they would have come out better. The first 2 are on guava. The second 2 are on River Rock, which is not one of my favorites, but it looks nice with these papers. The last 2 are on Sahara Sand. I added some chipboard to the guava pages, so I'm reposting them. I can't wait to add pictures to these now. This is really backwards for me. I always have pictures first & then build the pages around them, this will be interesting! I mainly just used the scrappin' kit & then I added some chipboard. Very simple pages. I'm sure I'll add some ribbon too, after the pictures! I have to have ribbon!
