Inspire, Create, Share 2015

I just returned home from spending 4 fun-filled days with some of my best friends - other Stampin' Up! demonstrators and many employees from the home office. This was the 4th Stampin' Up! Convention I have been able to attend in the nearly 5 years I have been a demonstrator and it is always a highlight of the Stampin' Up! year.

Center Stage

These flowers are HUGE! and beautiful.

Three of my Friends, Ink team members were able to attend with me. We are all members of Becky Roberts' Inking Everything team and had so much fun with the 40 or so team members from across the US who were there.

In addition to many demonstrations, training and the Holiday Catalog reveal (yes, I saw it all and even brought some home with me!!) there is always stamping time.

One of the things we did at our team event on Wednesday evening was swap cards. This is the one I made. 

Below are pictures of some that I received in exchange...

So pretty, and now I have samples to show you without creating them all myself.

Have you ever thought about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator? I would love to have you join my team and if you do it now, you will be able to pre-order product from the Holiday Catalog. The catalog goes live to customers on September 1st but you could order beginning August 4th! Just think of the jump you could get on your Fall and Holiday stamping. Let's talk and I can tell you how you can even get $125 worth of Holiday catalog items for $99 (or less) in your customizable Starter Kit! You could even join me in Vancouver, WA for the next Stampin' Up! event this November!

I came home with 3 new stamp sets from the Holiday catalog!!! Sneak Peeks coming soon...

Butterfly Basics Album

My friend, Janelle, ended her 8-year leadership as the Women's Ministry Director at our church this month and I was thrilled to be asked to make a book to hold the cards showered upon her by the ladies of the Thursday morning Bible Study. 

I used our 6" x 8" Project Life Album as my starting point and got some inspiration from a card I saw on Pinterest by demonstrator Lisa Young. I am really pleased with how this turned out.

I love the layers of detail that were achieved on the watercolor paper.

A little gold embossing is always good.

Bermuda Bay pages were created with the Envelope Punch Board.

I know Janelle will cherish the words written in these cards as she moves on to the next chapter in her life. Have you blessed someone with a card today?
