Last Day...Always Sad

I wish I had a picture of myself to share with you tonight to show you just how exhausted I am.  No complaints though.  It's been a GREAT convention.

The day started off with checking out of the hotel, and then straight to break-out classes.  Again, I started with make and takes.  Then off to my first class, I Am Making Money, let by Pam Morgan.  I always enjoy Pam's classes as they are so informative.  This one was no different and shared information about the bonus options every demonstrator can receive.

Then it was off to my last class, I Am Reaching Out, led by Emily Montoya.  It was to help us better understand Gen Y.  So much of convention was, but it was great to have a class that gave us some hands-on ideas.


And, then it was time for the closing session.  Do you see my friend Kathy in the photo above?  She was a lucky gal, and got to go onto the stage (she was called and asked before convention if she would do that, but didn't know why) and was one of the gals who won a free registration for a Stampin' Up! Regional seminar.  Who hoo.  There's going to be one in Denver on September 8th?  Anyone interested in going with me?  Just a thought.



Oh, and did I mention the free stamp sets we ALL got?  No, I don't think I did.  We all received the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set, Moving Forward...and the hostess set from the Holiday Catalog, Mixed Medley.  Oh the joys of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

It was off to dinner, to get our bags and load the shuttle taking us back to the airport.  Then the flight home followed by the reunions with family.

There is so much more I could share.  And, given the time I'm sure I will.  Always takes me a few days to think through it all.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...

Accordion Z-Fold Card Tutorial

  If you've been following me for awhile now, you know that I love the z-fold card. It's simple and yet a real "wow" for the recipient.  Today's card adds just a little twist, a few more folds. And, it's a great way to show-off the beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! sells too. I put together a video showing all the steps to put together this fun-fold card. And, at the end I share a few more projects that I made using it. I hope you'll check it out.  Measurements: Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 11", score along the 11" side at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" & 7"; 3" x 6", score along the 6" side at 3" Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2 pieces cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" and one piece 3" x 3"  Be sure to use the November host code: PA43R2KF (good through 11/30/2022) ...
