A sneak peek at something new!

Hi all

I thought I'd share with you a sneak peek of a new stamp set in the upcoming Catalogue beginning June 1st BUT what is even better is that this stamp set will be available for you to purchase between April 1-30!  It's just part of a new Summer Smooches bundle available for purchase during the month of April.

Why do I have the stamp set already??  Because I'm a demo!!  One of the best parts about being a demonstrator is getting a sneak peek at the cool new products.  Better still being a demo allowed me to earn this stamp set in January by attending Manager's Reception in San Antonio.

We also received this awesome bag at Leadership (think possible fabric sneak peek) and oooohh, the additions to this line are sooo exciting!!!!


Interested in becoming a demo??  JOIN NOW for just $150!!  The starter kit is a fantastic deal!!

Contact me and I can answer any questions you may have.

Cheers,

More Leadership Make n' takes

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  

Saturday was a GREAT day for me which started out much too early at ball hockey with the boys.  Nathan had an 8am game, another one at 10 and Andrew played at 11.  It was a fantastic morning with a tie against the number one team, Nathan getting a shut out in game #2 AND Andrew scoring a goal and an assist in his team's third win.  Yahooo! 

Then it was onto a busy Kids camp weekend with my peeps.  It was a super fun weekend, I think the best we've ever had.  I'll share pics later this week when I get my camera working again. 


I wanted to share with you the last of the make n'takes from Leadership.  I {heart} the new Blossom punch.   Even though I have quite a few flowers, okay don't we all, but this is one fantastic punch!

 Have an inspired Monday!


Cheers

Make n' Takes done!

Last week I had a demonstrator meeting and I set the goal to finish my make n'takes from Leadership before my downline arrived and I did - minutes before they arrived.  Whew!


The cards are soo cute and creative.  SU used the Blossom Builders Kit from the Occasions Mini on all of the projects and I'm glad they did.  I TOTALLY glossed over these cute embellishments the first time through the catalogue and now they are on my "to purchase" list.

Two sheets of die-cut flower embellishments and 30 half-back pink rhinestones.  125410 Blossom Builders $12.50

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow and see the February WOW project.  I think they are great to Sale-A-Brate any occasion!

Cheers,

Free stuff from Leadership! And a few extra pics.

Well, today wasn't a typical Monday as I spent half of the day at the swimming pool with Nathan's class and the other half running around being a Mom.  Well, what do you expect when you take 5 days off. 

Enough complaining as I DID have 5 days off and got no sympathy at all when I said it was cold here.  And can you believe this?  My sister is trying to get me to go skating with her this week - Yikes!  I told her to wait a few days until I get acclimatized.

On to the stamping - priorities, right!!

Here is a photo of all my free goodies I received from Stampin Up! We had NINE make n' take projects which we got most of them done but there are a few to finish up. I will take pics when I'm done (hopefully tomorrow) and share them with you.  

I think 6 stamp sets, spools of ribbon, markers, inks, lots of bling, Designer Series paper, Baker's twine, buttons, and much much more.

Some samples using the new stamp sets we received :)

The "Committee" - We stamped most of our make n'takes by committee.  Each person picks a project and makes enough for the whole group.  It works great when you are pressed for time and that way you become an expert in one project!

Thanks for stopping by. Wish me luck that I get those make n'takes finished!


Cheers,

PS Sale a Bration starts today!  Check back the rest of this week for some Sale A Bration ideas and samples.

Home sweet home!

I'm home again and luckily the weather in Calgary turned nice just in time.  Pete and the kids picked me up at the airport and then it was home to relax and begin re-entry.

Leadership was so much fun, exciting to see old friends and make new ones.  Our love for Stampin Up is a common bind among all demonstrators and whether we were walking along the Riverwalk, in the elevator or out to dinner it seems like we ran into "friends" everywhere we went.

One picture I wanted to share with you is of our last day in San Antonio.  Kim, Allison and I spent an extra day in the city to explore the Alamo, tour the Riverwalk by boat and yes, do a little bit of shopping.  We had a fabulous lunch at Dough Pizzeria Napoletana.  This restaurant was featured in the television show Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and WOW the pizza was amazing.  If you ever find yourself in San Antonio you must check it out.

Enjoying a gorgeous sunny day in JANUARY!

We are going to start planning our annual Convention Trip to Salt Lake City in July !  If you are interested in joining our Stampin UP family contact me for more details and to answer any questions you may have.  Beginning January 24th the starter demo kit is just $150 and you too can join the Stampin UP family and join us in Salt Lake City (psst, it's warm there too).

I have many photos of all the wonderful projects and samples I have received in swaps and photos of all the gorgeous displays.  I hope to share them with you over the coming days.

Off to bed early tonight!

Cheers,

Leadership Day 3

Sorry that I didn't get a chance to post on Friday so here are a few snippets of our day at Leadership.

Lots of amazing samples

I love the inlaid embossing technique on this card.

Gorgeous hearts on the whole card and the border edge is to die for.

Yippee!  More free goodies.  I won prize patrol at Leadership!

 Congrats to my downline - Allison for having a winning entry in the Leadership card contest.  Her card (the blue one shown) was one of the winning entries for Send me Soaring.

Free goodies are awesome!

Shelly's stamping presentations are always fantastic and funny!

I love this card!

And this one too!

 Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Leadership Day 2

It was a fun and exhausting day and night but so much fun! Just a few fun shots and captions from day 2.

This year's Leadership theme.

Shelli with her new do.

The best part about Stampin UP is the free goodies we receive (there is hidden stamp set beneath those pearl, but I can't show it to you.

Lunch!

And dessert!

The restaurant of choice for tonight!

The Canadian Contingent!  Christine G, Allison, Lisa, Rose, me and Kim

Yummy chicken tacquos but soo filling!

 Hmm, I notice my pics are much to do about food and less to do about cards.  That will change on day 3 when I take more photos of the displays.

Nighty Night!

More Leadership Day 1 pics

Hello everyone

Here are just a few pictures of my first full day in San Antonio.  

TA DA!!!  The BAG!  Each Stampin UP event all the participants receive a bag and WOWZA I love this one!   It is a lovely fabric bag, reversible and a matching wallet with pockets.  It's GORGEOUS!  Can you tell by all the capitals that I'm in love with it.  And I have heard through the grapevine that we will be possibly getting this fabric in a new catalogue and a matching stamp set!!! Woo hoo!

Afterwards we went to our Make n' Takes which were WOWZA!  I'll show more close up photos when I finish them.

Then it was a fantastic pizza lunch and PizzaRita's and a great walk along the Riverwalk.  San Antonio is a lovely city (from what we have seen) so far.

In the evening we attended Manager's Reception.  It was a fun evening and here are the pics to prove it!

Kim and I are getting really good at sharing meals.

Shelly on stage - she was very excited to bang the gong.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,
