Until I unpack

Hostess Invites

This will post the day after I get back from Convention and I know I will not have uploaded my photos and projects so....

I thought I would schedule this post to share with you the card I sent out last month to invite my Hostesses to the Luncheon I shared with you last week.  You will see 3 samples of the same card showing how each was slightly different because I used the die-cut pages from the Specialty DSP - Flirtatious!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this DSP.  You have got to get some for yourself!

Keep watching I will be posting Convention pics very soon!! 

Convention Scrapbook Swaps

SCRAPBOOKING

One of the fun things about getting together with a bunch of demonstrators ..one of MANY fun things .. is that someone always starts 'invitation only' swaps.  I am blessed to be invited to join many of them, but this time I choose to just pick two.  They are both for trading scrapbooking ideas.  I hope you like the ones I made.

The page on the left is closer to the correct colors.  The base is River Rock, the photo mats are Rich Razzleberry, and the ink is Old Olive.  Stamp sets used are Inspired By Nature, Just Believe, and Build-a-Blossom.  Plus the matching Blossom Petal Builder punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Pearls, Ribbon, & Buttons too!

This sample many of you may have.  It was my Mega Meet Special that went with our Free Make & Take last May.  The photos are a bit off color, but the base is Whisper White, with River Rock, Early Espresso, and Cherry Cobbler.  The stamp sets used are Elements Of Style & Word Play.

I am excited to know that when this posts I will BE AT CONVENTION in Salt Lake City!!  I am sure I am busy learning fun new ideas from Stampin' Up! and all the demonstrators who are so willing to share with me.  Of course I will share with them too! 

Keep watching my blog for samples when I get home!

HAPPY STAMPIN'!!

MY CONVENTION SWAP

CARD FRONTS

Whenever I attend a Stampin' Up! event the most fun thing is Swappin'!  Demonstrators make one or two designs (sometimes more) and make a LOT of each one.  But...we just make the front of the card to save a little money because all we really want to do is share ideas!  Then we trade our ideas for other demonstrators ideas.  Demonstrators love to share ideas so much that we even do it on a smaller scale at our team meetings each month! 

The first time I saw thousands of demonstrators in heavy swap mode I thought to myself, "This must be what it is like to be in the pit at the New York Stock Exchange!"  Everyone holding up a card saying "Swapping?  Are you Swapping?"  It's So Much FUN!!!

Here's what I am swapping with other demonstrators for their  ideas...

The above card front is what I have the most of...about 95 I think.

The above 4 colors of one design I only have about 35 total.

All that paper folding started to hurt my fingers!

If you like this paper folding idea and want to know how to do recreate it, be sure to join the Hostess Club before July 18th.  We will be making them in August!

I will post directions in the future, but not until my special club members have a chance to learn it in person.
