Stampin' Up! Convention Wrap Up

This was my third consecutive year to attend Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City.  I always have such a great time!  For the next few weeks, I will be posting all the swap cards I came home with.  I made 100 swap card fronts and 20 3-D swap items.  It's so much fun!  Here's a picture of my 100 card fronts.

Our first night of Convention was a special Paper Pumpkin Night Out event.  I was a previous subscriber to Paper Pumpkin, but along with many customers felt that it wasn't enough value for the money and cancelled my subscription.  At this special event, Stampin' Up! showed us that they were definitely listening to our concerns and feedback and they have improved the entire program.  Now, I am really excited about subscribing again because they are packing the kits with more value!  Each kit will now come with a nice sized set of photopolymer stamps, ink spot, embellishments and enough supplies to make at least 8 cards. New subscribers will receive a free stamp block in their kit in addition to all the other items.  Here's the best part!  We have a special promotion to entice you to try Paper Pumpkin and see if you love it as much as I do now.

Big News! and Blog Candy!

We are so so so excited to let you know we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal—authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

You’ll be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1! And with the launch of our new annual catalog on June 2, you’ll be able to buy from our complete line of Project Life products.

Can’t wait that long? Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to order the limited selection starting April 21. So if you’re a demonstrator make sure to check the demonstrator website that day; if you’re not a demonstrator, sign up and you can order the products early too!

Here are the items you’ll be able to purchase on May 1:

So what's up with me?

On a personal note, I also have some big news since last posting last fall.  Yes, I am a slacker... sorry!  However, I am excited to have 3 new downline demonstrators added to my team!  Yippee!  Not, that I am trying to build a team for money or even bragging rights, but simply to have a group of friends who all enjoy the same things and can get together regularly and share!  Everything is so much better with friends!  

Next, we celebrated Ryker's 3rd Birthday in November which was a big success and Jordan's 15th birthday in January.  I can't believe my first baby is about to start driving!  Scary!

Also, I am a member of the Junior League of Collin County where I have served as their Website Committee Chair for the last 2 years.  In December, I was slated as the VP Elect of the Communications Management Council. This means that in June of this year, I will become a member of the Board of Directors as the VP.  Yippee!!  I'm very excited about that as I have lots of ideas and plans to help out my league to support the community.

Lastly, I have started a new work position with Thomson Reuters as a Lead Software Engineer and I dare say it's got to be the best company I have ever worked for!  So loving it!

How about some Blog Candy to celebrate all that is going on??!!

Post a comment to this post about your thoughts on the new Project Life collaboration with Stampin' Up! and I will pick a winner to receive a FREE Paper Pumpkin Card-Making Kit worth $20!  This kit will come with clear mount stamps, an ink spot and the paper supplies to make a set of cards!

Happy New Year! and A Valentine Special

Here are some cards I made over the New Year's Holiday with my buddy, Marie!  This first one is a Valentine's card for my hubby!  I used some new products from the NEW Spring Holiday Catalog that just came out.

I used the new Honeycomb Embossing Folder on So Saffron cardstock and used Soft Suede ink to distress the embossing.  I also used the new Hearts A Flutter Bundle of Framelits and matching Stamp Set for the nested hearts on whisper white cardstock using real red ink.  The bees are punch art using a circle punch.

My next card is featuring FREE product from the new Sale-A-Bration catalog which starts on January 22!  See the Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and Button?  The sentiment is from a new stamp set in the Spring Catalog called "Oh, Hello".

My last card is a fun card using a stamp set from the Full Annual Catalog called  "Happy Hour".  I used the same pack of DSP from Sale-A-Bration, Summer Starfruit cardstock, Rich Razzleberry ink on Whisper White cardstock for the stamped images, tiny pearl accents for the bubbles in the glass and the fabulous Chevron Embossing Folder on the Summer Starfruit cardstock across the front.
