Convention Highlights 1 and Swap Shares

Hi Stampers!

I'm back from convention and soooo charged up!!!  A lot of pics to share with you today.

First, look at all my FREEBIES!! Stampin' Up! was so generous with us. 

Then, I was awarded two items of my choice for my annual sales of 20k and recruiting. So I chose the Six Sided Bundle and the Festive Flurry Bundle.

So in total, I received, FOR FREE:

8 stamp sets

6 project kits

1 Simply Created Kit

1 Bigz Die

1 Paper Pumpkin Kit

1 punch

1 framelit set

2 sets of Washi Tape (forgot to take pic)

Convention Bag

I would say that's a great haul!!

Wednesday night our umbrella group Udderly Awesome, led by Sandy Hancock, had their meeting. By the time everyone arrived, there was over 200 people in the room.

Here's my girls, Chris and Velinda in the midst of swapping at the Udderly Awesome meeting. Margaret is looking on. Chris had the best swap out of all of my team. I awarded her with a free pack of Designer Series Paper. So Chris, don't forget to let me know your choice!

While we are waiting for the Opening General Session to start, there is impromptu dancing in the aisle. Here's Margaret and Marie doing the Electric Slide with a group of other demonstrators. At the closing General Session a group of us, even me, did YMCA. 

Then the "all glorious demonstrator bag"!!! We were waiting and waiting to see what they looked like this year. This is all the excitement when it was being passed out to all the demonstrators. It's a nice back pack with a padded section for your computer and many more pockets.

You've all heard me talk about general swaps and organized swaps. Here is a pic of an organized swap. 80 demonstrators signed up for this particular swap. It was all occasion cards. Can you imagine making 80 cards for one swap?? Plus your general swaps! 

These two lovely ladies are Bobbi on the left and Janine on the right. We look forward to seeing each other each year. Our dear friend Debbie couldn't make it this year. She was truly missed. Love you Debbie O!!

This is at Macaroni Grill with our upline, Sandy Hancock in the red sweater. L-R: Me, Margaret, Sandy, Anne, Velinda, and Marie.   Chris was taking this picture. We have a hard time getting her in front of the camera. She didn't know I was taking her pic earlier!

The last three pics are swaps someone else received, but I liked them so much I took pics. 

Keep checking back. I've got more pics and swaps to share. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

The Results are In!!

Hi,

I have been gone all week!! So sorry. Well to make it up, I'm going to share a project for each day of the week!! That's 5 projects today!!!!!

But first, a couple of reminders - Still openings for my Stamp-a-Stack and Spotlight class tomorrow and next Friday, respectively. I cut a couple of extra kits for the Stamp-a-Stack and will order the stamps for the Spotlight class on Monday. Let me know if you want to attend.  And don't forget Big Shot this Sunday! All details can be found on my calendar over there on the right side bar!!

Now for the sharing......
The first card is one I received at my upline swap this month. It's by Marie Leyva. It is just beautiful in person. Look out hostess clubs, you will see this one in class...with a slight change of course...you know I can't leave well enough alone!!

This next card is also one I received as a swap from the same upline meeting.
The creator is Kandy Kilgore. As demonstrators, we receive a monthly magazine called Stampin' Success. Sandy said she received inspiriation from a similar card in the magazine. Well, I looked through the same mag and didn't see anything as gorgeous as this. Goes to show you how we all are inspired differently.

This next card was received at the same meeting as the 2 previous cards. This particular card was made using our digital software program called My Digital Studio (MDS). If anyone is interested, I can get you a free 30 day trial of the program. Just send me an email. NEWS FLASH, for my team, I have a teacher coming in to teach us MDS!! More details soon.

Now, here is my swap. My card and the digital card above uses a new set called Bright Blossoms, which is coming out in the new upcoming catalog on June 1st. I got this set for FREE, (Don't you love FREE??!!), at the Manager's Reception, when I attended Leadership Conference back in January. SNEAKY PEAKY!!!!

My last card is also my swap, but this was for my down line attending my Can't Stop Stamping team meeting. This uses the Field Flowers stamp set. I sure hope this set is continued in the catalog next year.

Thanks for stopping by. I've got to finish up my class prep. Hope to see you in class!
Happy stamping!!!

More Swaps

Hello Blogworld!!

Today I'm showing you my swaps for my upline team. I made these cute boxes with a candy treat baggie inside.

I used the Fancy Favor Box die along with with the new Framelits Label Collection to cut out the window on the box. The stamped images are from the new Sale-A-Bration set Sprinkled Expressions. It's a very cute set with a lot of possibilities.
