On Stage Local 2015

When Stampin' Up! holds an event in your state YOU GO! No question! On Saturday I joined hundreds of demonstrators in Vancouver, WA for what turned out to be a full day of new product reveals, stamping, demonstrations, prizes, gifts and just plain fun! The "Main Event" was held in Brussels, Belguim but we had just as much fun watching video from that event and live demonstrations at our venue.
 
 Here we are getting ready for the day

 We each received a tote bag containing a New stamp set from the upcoming Occasions catalog, a planner/notebook, set of logo pens and an event pin in 1 of 8 colors as well as this metal water bottle.

My pin color was Pacific Point and when it was called I won another New stamp set!


The Occasions catalog is all about celebrations and we got our hands on 4 New stamp sets and coordinating products to create these...
 It's My Party Suite

 Botanical Gardens Suite

 Going Places Suite

 Love Blossoms Suite
(this was cut with the new Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die! eek!!!)
 
We were also gifted a paper stack, a 3rd New stamp set and hot off the press copies of the 2016 Occasions catalog, the 2016 SaleABration brochure (you're going to love it!), and our demonstrator magazine - Stampin' Success. Wahoo! I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Would you like to join my team and attend the next event?
 
There is so much more in the new catalog that I will show you soon but first, I will be returning to our regularly scheduled Christmas postings :) Stay tuned!

Jingle All the Way Ornaments

Stampin' Up! puts on a great event and this weekend was no exception! The main event, OnStage Live, was held in Brussels, Belgium but I was able to attend 1 of 11 OnStage Local events held in the US, Canada and Australia. Friday evening I attended Centre Stage, the Leadership dinner. We were treated to a catered dinner, beautiful table settings, table gifts and training.





 Planner/Notebook and gift at my place setting

 hmmm... Sort.Store.Create
Wonder what it is?

 Pretty...

It's an embellishment organizer and it includes some goodies! Fun!!!


Three members of my team were also able to make the trip to Vancouver, WA and I brought along this gift for them...
 


 
I love the Jingle All the Way stamp set and coordinating Sleigh Ride edgelits dies. I saw several similar ornaments online and just knew I needed to make some :)

Come back on Tuesday to see some pictures from the Saturday event and a few sneak-peeks of the upcoming Occasions Catalog!

Vintage Leaves

Welcome to the Crafty Card Gallery Fall themed blog hop!

We have 9 very talented card makers who have each designed a Fall themed card. If you’ve never done a hop before, it’s a group of bloggers that have joined together. You hop from blog to blog using the links in each post. Be sure to visit each of the blogs and comment on the posts and follow their blogs.
You may have arrived from: Thia Gielow at Blue Moon Creation
If you didn’t, you can return to the start so you can do the whole hop: craftycardgallery.blogspot.com


The colors of the Fall leaves around my home are so pretty I decided to bring them inside with my paper and ink version.

  
 The Vintage Leaves stamp set and VersaMark ink were used to stamp the image on Whisper White card stock and then heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. I used sponge daubers and Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss classic ink pads to get the highlights and depth I wanted. And don't worry, you don't have to fussy cut those leaves - the Leaflets Framelits Dies takes care of that!



The acorn is from the Acorny Thank You stamp set and I love that there is a Stampin' Up! punch that creates both the whole acorn shape and the topper.


Thanks for joining us in the hop!

Inking Idaho on the Road - Seattle, What a Blast!

Inking Idaho on the Road - Seattle was a huge success!  We actually met in Everett at the Firefighter's Hall with a sold out crowd.  I hosted the event with my Friends Ink team and my Upline, Becky Roberts & few of our other team members. I am sharing Becky's pictures with you since I was too busy to take many :)

Here I am welcoming the crowd.


Some of the attendees - they were packed in tight.


Becky and I at the end of a long wonderful weekend.


My downline, Krista Murphy did an amazing presentation on Holiday gift wrapping using the Home For Christmas collection.


Adorable projects!


Becky's downline, Missy Hall from Portland, did a fantastic presentation on making luminaries with our Kraft bags and the Hearth & Home collection.


Aren't these pretty?
Every attendee received the A Little Something stamp set and all the projects were made using that set.
Friday night was all fall and Halloween projects.

Saturday afternoon after the presentations, they stamped 4 Christmas notecards & a Sketched Dots bag to place them in and created a little treat favor.


The displays were beautiful!  My team as well as a few of my sideline made them all and put them together.  I made the wreath on this door. Cards are  made by Shelley Fabens & Krista Murphy.

Krista & Janice Williamson decorated all the water bottles with the same stamp set.
