    Stampin’ Up Convention 2014–Display Boards and Day 1 Activities

    Well, once again here I sit after midnight working on my blog post.  ha ha!  There must be something in my DNA that says it is not possible for me to go to bed before 12am!

    But, I just had lots of photos and details to share with you from today’s Stampin’ Up Convention activities that I figured I had to jump on and get them posted!

    You may have seen some of them throughout the day on my Facebook page or on Instagram, but some are new too!

    So a quick run down on the highlights of the day…

    We started out with the opening session, kicked off by seeing all the different teams of employees from the Home Office and then a chat by Shelli Gardner

    Oh, and did I mention they started it all off by giving everyone a random single stamp (I’m looking forward to playing with my camera stamp!)

    Then we got to see the cover and get a walkthrough of the upcoming 2014 Holiday Catalog!

    I’ll admit, I wasn’t wowed by the cover… but then they started showing what was inside and lets just say that my attitude turned around REALLY QUICK!!

    While I can’t show you the inside of the catalog, I can show you a few products and project photos

    But there is so much good stuff including new framelits, new embossing folders, new paper, new GIFT BOX PUNCH BOARD, new mini stapler, new Project Life by Stampin’ Up kits, great new décor kits, new TREE PUNCH & stamp set, ENDLESS WISHES is BACK, and more!  Oh and the new ribbon and embellishments…. guess I’ll be doing a share for those because you will want to try them out!
    (email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com if you want to get to the head of the list for shares as soon as they are available!)

    Yes, I’m already trying to start working on my holiday catalog budget Winking smile

    Then we got to do some make & takes

    It is so incredibly amazing to see my name next some of these amazing stampers and Artisans.

    Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the projects I created for Stampin’ Up to give ideas for the 3 stamp sets we got at Convention – Kinda Eclectic, Amazing Birthday, and Seasonally Scattered (from the holiday catalog).  So make sure to check back often!

    We had some great classes with stamping and business tips and then some of us went to evening classes while others headed out to Riverton to visit the home office!

    We got to see the shipping department along with great stamping inspiration.

    Then it was time for a late dinner and back to the hotel to check out our swaps, reflect on the day, share with our Fun n’ Crafty group members back home who couldn’t attend, and try to get some sleep!

    Tomorrow is going to be a great day!
