Over the top samples from Convention - Punch Art

Hi everyone

The week has not started with the positive stamping vibes I had planned but the kids and I have had tons of fun.

Monday we went to the library and yesterday we headed to Chuckie Cheese and bowling.  I think heading back to school in a couple of weeks might be a bit of a shock for the kids and me too!  I've had such a great time relaxing with the kids and doing all the things WE want to do and NO schedule!!!  It's all coming to an end soon which is okay too, but we are definitely going to enjoy the next two weeks!!

So because I haven't stamped at all this week I will share with you something new from Convention.  These samples were displayed at the Hispanic booth and unfortunately I don't know the creator but they are awesome and I had to share!!

Today is a new day so wish me some stamping luck!

Cheers,

Convention product suite boards - Fan Fair and Twitterpated

I'm trying hard to work on my "MUST DO" list so I can get to some fun stamping but it's not working. 

So I'll share with you some more boards from Convention, but I'm sure you won't mind seeing the creativity of the Stampin UP Concept Artists.

Cheers,

Convention product suite boards - Birds of a Feather and International Bazaar

Man, how did it get to be mid August already!!  This summer is flying by.

We had a fantastic long weekend of nothing (well, family time and Olympics obsession) and obviously by my lack of posts you can see we've been having fun.

We had a great dinner with friends on Fri night, Sat was a sleep in day (Andrew got up at 11am) and Sunday was Madagascar 3, bowling, a bit of back to school shopping.  Monday we were glued to the soccer match and well, you know how that turned out.  We are soo proud of the womens soccer team and can't wait until tomorrow when we play for bronze.

As I get prepped for next week's BIG retired sale I'll be sharing more Convention product boards.  Take a look at these great samples and jot down your favourites on your wish list.  I sent out over 30 invites to club members and hostesses inviting them to the sneak a peek sale so be sure to watch your mailboxes.  

Cheers,

Why do you want to be a demonstrator?

Avery, me, Jes, Allison and Kim

 SO YOU CAN JOIN THIS FUN GROUP OF LADIES AT CONVENTION 2013!!!


Who can resist that?  Plus you get that an awesome bag!! (That's for those bag lovers out there)

Seriously though.  Being a demonstrator and joining Stampin Up has been THE best decision for myself and my family.  I'm able to be at home with the kids, work from home and I get to be creative almost every day of the week - or at least every day that I want to be!


It's still a job and hard work but I LOVE it! I get to make cards and scrapbook for a living.  NO JOKE!

 I am going to Convention 2013 to celebrate Stampin Up's 25th anniversary so I hope you will make plans to join me next July.

Since returning from Convention I've had a few questions about what it's like.  Well, I found this great article that describes the Convention experience. It is an experience that is hard to describe but definitely one any paper crafter, stamper or scrapbooker would enjoy.

For more details on how to join please check out this post.

Big exciting day tomorrow!!! Orchard Harvest and H & S

Thank you for the birthday wishes :)  It brightened my day PLUS I went out for breakfast with friends.  I don't get a chance to do that nearly enough:)  Thanks ladies for a fun Monday morning.

I realized that today is the last day of the Reason to Smile promotion and I have not used that set nearly enough :(  So sad, I guess that's what summer brain does to you.

BUT on a happy note tomorrow is the start of August and the start of the Holiday Seasonal Catalogue ordering period- YES!!!  Now that is a reason to smile!!!  I absolutely love ALL of the products in this catalogue.  It's hard not too.  At Convention I was able to see and feel many of these products up close.

Check out the cool displays they had featuring the Holiday Seasonal Catalogue goodies.

This card is also in the catalogue and absolutely stunning in person.

Designer Ribbon slides (127834) $6.95 for 16 pieces

Designer Buttons in Brushed Bronze (127833) $8.95 for 16 buttons

The Monster Munchies set is uber cute and essential for all those planning to have a Halloween party or Halloween party favours.

Cheers,

Re-entry days and more Convention boards - Floral and Smooches

I'm back!  I'm back home and now it's family time so sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday.

Slowly and surely I'll get back into a routine and I'll share my tons of Convention photos and swaps.  Now, if I could only find that bag . . . . .

Here are a couple more product boards from the Demonstrator Resource Center.  There were so many great samples made by the fantastic Concept Artists at Stampin UP.

Floral District and Summer Smooches are two of my favourite Product Suites in this catalogue.  

I hope these have inspired you to be creative today!

Cheers,

Another great day of Convention!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of Convention!!

I can't wait to hear the EXCITING announcement that they have planned for tomorrow and if you are a demonstrator don't forget to log into the Stampin Up website and see the Convention news live!

I'll only share a few exciting pics of moi from today as I must get to bed.

 I got to "walk" the stage this year for a big milestone!

It was pretty cool!  


Thank you to all my customers and friends for helping me achieve this goal!
