Stampin' Up 2011 Convention Highlights/Showroom Displays!

Good morning friends! I am finally starting to feel alive after the Convention. Today I am excited to share with you some of the awesome displays from the showroom floor. I truly think my little girl needs to get a job at Stampin' Up when she grows up because she thinks "outside of the box" like the staff at Stampin' Up. 

Berry Blossoms Designer Paper- My Favorite!

Nursery Nest Designer Paper~ good for adults (?) like me who love owls!

Pocketful of Posies Designer Paper

Well Worn Designer Paper~just loved this display!

 

Well how do you like these? I just love these displays! Can you tell we all love our Designer Paper!

Be sure to comment and I will show you more tomorrow if there is some interest? 

I don't know if anyone is even reading my blog lately!!! 

Only 11 more days to take advantage of the Sign Up Special!

Well off to cut my ribbon for my ribbon shares. Paper shares are completed.
Have a great day!

Stampin' Up 2011 Convention Highlights/Stampin' Up Museum

Hi, I've been back home for two days but still exhausted. It is probably my Fibromyalgia flairing up. I guess I am too old for this but I will go back next year!

I thought I would share some highlights of the Convention this week. Today are photos from our home office in Riverton, Utah. I thought I would share some photos from the Stampin' Up Museum. I sure would love to have a desk like the one shown below!

Stay tuned this week. Tomorrow I will show you some of the displays, then Thursday some of the card swaps and Friday some funny photos. Be sure to stay tuned daily this entire week! Saturday is my workshop/biz event, so I will be posting photos of our projects on Saturday or Sunday.

I'm home! I love Salt Lake City! I LOVE Stampin' Up!

I am back home, exhasted but exhilerated. I love Utah and I love Stampin' Up! I just returned from our Convention. It was my first one and was a blast. It was a bit hard for me because in my 1st year (spring 2009- spring 2010)  I had already earned the Cruise, Founder's Circle for the top 100 demonstrators (I was number 56 in 2010) and also Rising Star #2 for the US in 2010. I did not earn any awards this year and will miss being with my fellow friends that did! It was hard to swallow at first because I worked my tail off this past year.

I did however have a good time!

Here I am at the " Stampin' Up Rock" at our facility in Riverton, Utah. I got to tour the Kanab, Utah facility last year at Founder's Circle but did not get my photo taken.

Here is the Riverton, Utah Facility. I will post inside photos on another day. Isn't this building gorgeous! It is such a happy place!

I got to see some of my awesome friends and meet new ones.

Here is my dear friend, Cara, from Canada. I met her at Founder's Circle last year and just love her. She is the sweetest. We had dinner together Saturday night with her darling downline, Chelsea.

Lunch with my dear friend, Mary from California, that I met 4 years ago at another convention ( a different biz). I just love her too!

I had the fortune to meet these great ladies! Love them all!

Zina, Jane and De Ann

I met Zina and De Ann on the Riverton tour and had dinner with them on Friday night. Here we are at our Make and Take on Saturday where we met Jane! Fun lady!

Jane referred to herself and me as the old ones and Zina and De as the young ones.

 

My team mates from Wisconsin were at the same restaurant on Saturday night. They were so welcoming to me! We wore the same color shirts each day and sat together at all the general shows. Thursday was orange, Friday was purple and Saturday was green.  I did not wear mine on Saturday so I pulled up the green napkin!

My wonderful upline, Mary Polcin and her sister Judy. What a sweet ladies! I felt so special being with their team and so honored to be on Mary's team.

Taking the train back with my Canadian buddies, Cara and darling, Chelsea. We took the train in every morning and rode it back at night. Hmm, photo won't turn right

It is all about the friendships that I have formed that make it most special for me!

Thank you, Stampin' Up for that opportunity!

Bound for Utah....headed to Stampin' Up 2011 Covention!

I am so excited! At the last minute I decided to go to Convention. I get to see some of the friends I met at Founder's Circle last year and on the Alaskan Cruise.

It was last minute but I got some swaps made to "swap" card fronts with many others!

Here is my swap from Snow Much Fun Stamp Set

Here is another Swap that I am preparing for in August. 

I used our darling Button Button Stamp Set

Oink Oink!

Both were my own original ideas and thank goodness for my little girl helping me!

I won't be posting while I am gone but will be reporting when I get back and show you some of the swaps I got!

Remember if you would like to sign up for the $99 Starter Kit, please go to my site HERE and then go to Join the Fun and then JOIN Now.

My little girl made these darling boxes!

On the Cruise, Shelli showed us how to make a little box. The minute we got home my daughter begged me for the supplies. Shelli took the cardboard roll from our little glue dots to make this.

My daughter found two empty rolls to use and then she used the little button containers. She made on in our First Edition Paper and used the Butterfly Punch .  Then she went town and made the cutest little piggy one. She used our new stamp set called Button Buddies and added the Scallop. She went an extra step adorned with our Vintage Trinkets. Didn't she do a great job!

I just love the way she added her own extra touch of our little safety pin. Can you see the little birdies stamped on there. This is from the stamp set, Clearly for You.

She then created a little Piggy Box. Isn't it darling!

She used Button Buddies and Subtle Buttons, Pretty in Pink Ink

This one was made by Shelli, our owner. I got a better photo of it.

Thank You Lorrie for making the water mark!

Hard at Work on Convention Swaps

I am so proud of my little girl. Here she is helping me get ready for my Convention Swaps. Meatball is helping too!

 I will be back tomorrow to show you the swaps we made for Convention. I decided to go and am so very excited!  I will get to meet up with some of the nice ladies I met at Founder's Circle in Utah last fall and on the Cruise. It sure will be nice to get a break from this heat!

I also will be back to show you a really neat project that she made.  For now my good friend, Lorrie is making a "watermark" for her. As soon as I set it up, I can put it on her work and then will post her new creations. It is not a card, but something really neat so check on back later today!
