Founder's Circle Trip - Day 2!

I sat in the Gathering Place this evening and helped Kim Peck with her swaps for tomorrow night! I have never laughed so hard in my life! I had such a good time visiting with the demonstrators in the Gathering Place - I know my sides will be sore tomorrow from laughing! When I returned to my room, the Secret Garden book was on my bed! I love little surprises - they make life fun!
Tonight was a free night for us, so a bunch of demonstrators converged on the local Olive Garden and took over a big section of the restaurant! Seated at my table were Glenda Travelstead, Josee Smuck, and Susan Elise Morton! I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner with them - a great bunch of gals - and what a great exchange of information!
Dawn Olchefske and I are helping Ruth Bingle with her swaps so they'll be ready for our big event tomorrow night - the pajama party, business swap, and card swap!
There are beautiful Stampin' Up! wall rub-ons on all the doors and windows of the main part of the hotel! It's very classy looking!
Here's one of the candy carts available! Just grab a terra cotta pot and fill it with your favorite candy! There's also all the Cracker Jacks you can eat!
The picture above is the Gathering Place, where we can sit and visit with each other and make new friends! The pillows in the picture are made from fabric using the prints and patterns from our Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper!
What a fun day it's been! I slept in this morning and then sauntered downstairs and devoured a mushroom and onion omelet! While I was enjoying breakfast, I met a really nice demonstrator from Germany, Sara Wiger! She even gave me some German chocolates - I have a new best friend! I spent the entire morning in the solitude of my room working on a little book I've been constructing with the My Digital Studio software! I'm so excited about it and completely hooked and it was wonderful to have the quiet time to work on it! I'm almost finished and I can't wait to see it in its hardback form!

Founder's Circle Trip - Day 1!

When I returned to my room, next to my pillow was a new stamp set called Tiny Tags, a package of In Color Markers and the In Color Ribbons! THANK YOU, STAMPIN' UP!, for making my day so much fun!
Our dessert was a Death by Chocolate Cake, so you KNOW that made me happy!
We were served a delicious turkey dinner!
Our fruit salads were served in a pineapple!
Shelli gave us such a warm welcome during dinner and expressed her gratitude for all that we do!
Here are two of my dinner mates - Kelly Acheson and Dawn Olchefske!
Our chairs were covered in Certainly Celery satin and had big sashes on the back!
Here is our dinner table! The theme for this Founder's Circle trip is "Bloom & Grow," so our plates were terra cotta pots! Our napkin rings were grapevine wreaths with designer paper butterflies attached! We each had a hand-stamped welcome card using the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper. It was so pretty and so nicely done! You actually felt like you were in a garden!
Here are two of my favorite Stampin' Up! employees - Kelly Sue and Bonnie! They make sure everything is perfect and they take such good care of us!
Here are two of my Stampin' Up! buddies - Missy Shipman and Patty Bennett - just hanging out in the Gathering Place!
When you first arrive, you play a get-to-know-you game where you mix and mingle with other demonstrators to find five colors of butterflies! Once you find all five colors, you win a new stamp set - Garden From the Heart!
When you arrive at your room, it is VERY OBVIOUS it is YOUR room! Here's what I found on my door! Stampin' Up! always makes you feel so special!
Here is the welcome sign over the front door of the Marriott Courtyard to greet us when we arrived! The entire hotel has been reserved just for us, so we can lounge and walk around the hotel and only run into Stampin' Up! demonstrators and Stampin' Up! employees!
Yep, I can tell I'm back in Utah! It's absolutely beautiful here!
WOO HOO! Today I traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the Founder's Circle trip where I was greeted at the airport with a limousine SUV to transport me to St. George, Utah! Accompanying me on the trip were my demonstrator friends Ruth Bingle, Leasa Williams, and Beckie Kareck! We enjoyed visiting during the 2-hour trip to St. George! Our chaueffeur, Gabe, must have gotten really tired of us talking about stamping for two hours, but all I had to do was bribe him with candy and he was very accommodating and patient!

Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp!

On the Founder's Circle trip last year, we made an album just like this! I thought it was so pretty! I've been saving it for this camp; however, I had to change the Designer Series Papers to reflect current papers that are available! No matter which Designer Series Papers you use, this album is so classy! It easily folds together and will hold six (or seven) photos!

Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp!

Here's a real goody that we made at the Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp! I love the simple elegance of this card! I can just imagine how you could make a smaller version of this for a placecard at your Thanksgiving dinner table, and where the greeting is, just write a name! This style of card has lately been my favorite - just changing out the image and the greeting -works every time! Layering tone on tone gives a bit of a dry-embossed look, too! The recipe is below. All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up! Recipe: Paper: Textured Vanilla - 8-1/2 X 5-1/2; Textured Vanilla - 2 X 2; Textured Vanilla - 1-3/4 X 1-3/4 Stamps: Autumn Days (P. 92 of the catalog); Falling Leaves (P. 27 of the catalog) Inks: Soft Suede; Soft Suede Marker Miscellaneous: SNAIL Adhesive; Stampin' Dimensionals; Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon - 18" long; Scissors

Aren't these colors great together? This card SCREAMS Thanksgiving! I absolutely love spinner cards, and the little acorn floating in the center of the hole makes me happy!

Oh, boy, these colors are getting me so excited because it means cooler temperatures are around the corner and it's getting closer to HALLOWEEN!

After my new catalog open house, Diane contacted me and told me she would like to have a home workshop - and one of the cards she wanted to make was the 3D cup card that we made at the open house - and the recipe is listed as a July 5th post!

I'm a Very Lucky Gal!

If someone ever tells you that dreams don't come true, I'm here to tell you THEY DO! I had a fabulous time at the Stampin' Up! convention! I was fortunate enough to earn Founder's Circle again this year, which means I get to go on a fun trip to St. George, Utah in September with the other Top 100 Stampin' Up! demonstrators for this past year! It was quite an exciting evening because they start with #100 and count all the way down to #1! You just have to wait for your name to be called to see where you placed! I was quite anxious after they passed 50 and then 40 and then 30! I was starting to think that maybe there was a mistake and they might have forgotten me, but I was #21! That was so exciting for me! The rose above was given to me on-stage, and I was certainly beaming that evening! I haven't found any good pictures of that evening, but if I do, I will certainly post them! I am quite aware, though, that I never could have achieved that distinction without ALL OF YOU! Your steadfast support and encouragement over this past year is what got me there - my customers and my recruits - and I've never forgotten that! I hope that each one of you feels the love and my appreciation for all that you do for me! You've made my dream come true!

Aren't These Cute?

LOOK AT THESE! My sister took a normal pair of Flip-Flops, used the Daisies #2 die for the Big Shot, Fun Foam, and a Build-A-Brad, and turned them into a really cute pair of shoes! Pam gave these to me in Utah as a convention gift and I am smiling from ear to ear! I love these, Pam, and I'm so glad you gave them to ME! I've been wearing them out and about and receiving comments on how cute they are! THANK YOU, PAM - I LOVE YOU!

Big Shot 3D Pop-Up Cake!

Last night I was looking for something fun to do and I thought I would give this new Big Shot die a try -AND I LOVE IT! There's definitely a learning curve, and you certainly can't be in a hurry to make it - you must take your time, think through each step, and have plenty of Sticky Strip! However, it is not difficult at all, and once you make one and you see how it works, then you want to make a whole bunch! I thought this turned out kind of cute and I can see the many wonderful possibilities that go along with it! It's so much fun to have so many neat toys to play with! By the way, that's my 16-year-old son's nasty, dirty nail in the picture, NOT MINE!

Mini Pizza Box with Four Matching 3 X 3 Cards

I told Haley's science teacher, Ms. Corrine Drom, who just happens to be one of my stamping buddies, that I would make her an end-of-the-year teacher gift! I came up with this cute little mini pizza box with four matching 3 X 3 cards and I thought it turned out so cute! I have enjoyed having this on my desk and just looking at it every day, so it's going to be hard to part with it, but Ms. Drom is a pretty cool science teacher and I think she deserves a little goody, so I guess I'll hand it over to her this Friday when she attends my stamp camp! We'll have to make a mini pizza box at an upcoming camp, and then I'll share the recipe and dimensions with you, but for now, I thought you just might like to see it!
