One of the big reasons to go to convention is to see all the tons of amazing samples and displays. They have huge boards that are organized by common colors (so you get a rainbow effect as you walk along the boards), by artisan award finalists, and boards full of samples using the stamp sets…
Alright, I’m finally getting caught up which is nice! Up next, getting ready to have a bunch of great ladies over on Wednesday night to check out all of my samples, swaps, and goodies that I brought back from Convention and then make a few projects to take home! It should be a fun night…
Jeepers! Thanks to extremely flaky internet access at the hotel, I wasn’t able to get these blog posts written up and posted in the evenings of Convention. But I wanted to post my summaries of the last two days at convention since I know a lot of you out there were interested in seeing what…
Does anyone here watch “So You Think You Can Dance”? If so, do you know how Mary Murphy has the Hot Tamale train… well imagine her screaming “Woo Hoo!!!” and that is what we were saying this morning. It was a fun day filled with general session, make & takes, classes, and lots and lots…
Woo hoo! Convention is here and it was a busy day in Salt Lake City for me yesterday. I spent the first night in town (Tuesday night) finishing up my swaps and getting settled in after arriving late in the evening. I wanted to use Dazzling Details (Stampin’ Up!’s glitter glue) on my cards so…
Today is the day that I fly to SLC, so be checking back here and on my facebook page for updates from Convention. But before I go, I wanted to share one more birthday card using the Patio Party designer paper and Make a Cake stamp set. This card is actually really quick and…
Today my family catches a train back to Seattle from Portland. We’ve had a great trip and now I have a day and a half and then its off to Salt Lake City! That’s right, it’s Stampin’ Up! Convention Week! I will have posts scheduled to go up this week while I’m away but as…
I thought today I would share something different then my usual card/paper craft project, plus it is a great example of what you can use with some of the fun 60% off items in the Stampin’ Up! Clearance Rack! This is a cool little project that my friend Annie Lee made for me that I…
I love chances to earn free stamp sets and recently I did just that! So, thanks to Stampin’ Up! I got to pick this Everything Eleanor stamp set for free! (So, in case you were wondering why you kept seeing this stamp set pop up, it is one of my newest sets and so I’ve…
Well, early this morning we are hoping on a train and headed south to Portland, OR! I’m excited for this family trip and can’t wait to see friends and favorite haunts as we visit for the first time in a long time! Portland will always hold a special place in my heart as it is…
Ok, so this is my last card we did at my card stash class on Friday. I really, really wanted to get out my new Piercing Pack and start playing with the new shapes and designs they have and thought it would be fun to highlight on of the punches. I also pulled out…
Oops! If you visited my blog early this morning, you got a sneak peek of this post because I accidentally had a draft version (with pictures and no text) scheduled to publish early in the morning and I completely forgot I had done that. 🙂 But, I’m not sad to have shared this card. This…
