My Stampin Up! Leadership 2011 Experience

I'm Back!  It was a fabulous trip (as always) that was nonstop from Wednesday at 4:00 am until Saturday at 4:00 pm.  I thought I would share with you a few of the highlights.  (More to follow so stay tuned)

Upon arrival, we immediately went over to pick up our free bags. (notice the new fabric!) There was even a portfolio included.  So fun!  (That may end up being a gift to my daughter as a small mommy bag for baby Eloise due May 1st!)  The stamp sets, ribbon, markers, brads, pearls, catalogs etc were all give-aways during the event.  We were even given a MDS CD for the full download of the Sale-A-Bration product.

We then had our first lunch, Mexican of course.  You may recognize these ladies from our charity events at Blue Water Storage.  Seated left to right, Lisa, Susan, Christina, Lee.

 

 

That evening, Lee and I attended the Managers Reception, a neat perk of achieving Manager status.  

The evenings theme was every where we looked.  

 

We enjoyed light appetizers before.....

 

a riveting performance by Chinese acrobatic performers.  Check out the core strength on these guys.  Amazing!!

Afterwards we were still a bit hungry so we decided to head again to the Riverwalk and enjoyed a light dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant.  (Sorry, I must not have taken pictures).. So ends the first day.  Come back tomorrow to continue my recap.

Dasher

Welcome followers and visitors from Card A Day Blog!! 

Continuing on with the weekly theme of Christmas and Animals, I decided to use the "Dasher" Set from Stampin Up! #116816.  I love this stamp! I was wanted to make a wintery scene.  So, with our "Shimmery White" card stock, I used a sponging technique and created a gray sky with various colors of ink.  ( Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, River Rock.)  Dasher is stamped in Early Espresso ink. The circle was cut on the Big Shot using the 3" Circle Die.  I then stamped the tree images in Old Olive. I used one of my tried and true favorites "Lovely As A Tree" #115026. This was starting to take shape! The Seasons greetings Sentiment is from the "Four The Holidays" set #116921.  I matted the card in River Rock and Early Espresso card stock.  Almost there. You have to accessorize right?  You will notice the super cute !/8" taffetta ribbon in Very Vanilla and, the Basic Rhinestones and Very Vanilla brads to balance it out.  So there you have it.  I really enjoyed making it and hope you enjoyed it too!

Pictures From Stampin Up! Stamp Camp

Good morning everyone.  I would like to share a few pictures of the Stamp Camp that I participated in last weekend at the Blue Water Storage Facility.  There are tons of details and lots of work that go into these events.  I couldn't be more proud and thankful to everyone who participated!

 

We had such a nice time!

Blue Water storage is so gracious to let us use their space.  They are offering discounts on rentals if anyone is interested.  Just mention Stampin Up!

We had 3 tables full of raffle prizes and door prizes.  

I have not heard yet how much money was raised for the local chapter of Civitan, who helps our community in many ways including a focus on Autism.

This is a picture of ladies working hard at my table.  Linda D. on the right liked my card so much she decided to order everything needed to make it.  Now thats a nice compliment!

Here is Christina's room, one of my team members, and a couple of my wonderful customers.  Deb V, thanks for the smile.... Jackie P,  are you a little camera shy?

Thank you to everyone who attended our event!  We had over 90 stampers show their love of cardmaking.  

Watch my calendar for the next event and plan to join us!

Gently Falling Fall Card

Fall is finally arriving in Jacksonville Florida!   Yea!

 I love how these turned out. I saw something similar to this made by Linda Wiese and it inspired me to pull out the new Spice Cake Designer Series paper.  So, my lucky Hostess club will be making this card tomorrow night as one of their projects.  

I hope you like it.

Enjoy!
