Swaps!

For the Leadership Event I just went to, I cut back on my swaps!  I only made 130.  For convention last summer I made over 300.... this suitcase was dedicated to swaps and some of the free stamp sets we received as gifts at convention.  :)

More display boards

Here's my friend and downline, Michelle DeRidder, looking at the display boards from convention last summer.  They had about 6-8 rows of boards!

Inspiration

One of the best aspects of our Stampin' Up! events is the display boards.  They set up huge board with over a thousand cards, 3D items and amazing paper crafted art projects!  Here are a few projects from convention last summer.  Can you believe these are made out of paper?

Tea, anyone?

Here's another photo taken with my new photo set up....

Stamps:  Tea Shoppe
Ink:  Perfect Plum
Paper: Whisper White, Certainly Celery
Markers:  Certainly Celery, So Saffron
Accessories:  Tea Lace Paper Doilies (p. 5 Spring Catalog 129399), Subtles Buttons (Perfect Plum shown), Bakers Twine in Whisper White, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder (p. 36, Spring Catalog 127819)

Experimenting with photography and simple cards

One of the things I want to learn more about is photography....  Here's an experiment.  Does it look any different than my normal blog posts?  Be honest!

I was also experimenting by making a simple card.  My challenge was to use 3 colors, 1 image stamp set, 1 greeting stamp set and 1 punch.

This card uses:
- Color combo:  So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum
- Mixed Bunch Stamp Set (125537 clear-mount, 125532 wood-mount)
- Made for You Stamp Set (126342 clear-mount, 126340 wood-mount)
- Blossom Punch (125603)

Card for a friend -- can you guess with Sizzix die I used?

Can you tell which Sizzix die I used to create this card?  My friend Carol broke her ankle so I had to make something creative to try to cheer her up!

I used twill tape, pink pirouette card stock and a vintage pin!

Fun with Personalized Stamps

I met someone at a scrap booking crop who is looking to help a realtor friend make thank you cards for her customers.  I had to try out our personalized stamps to see what I could create.  :)

These cards are designed to be quick, easy and inexpensive to make!

Know a realtor?  Show her how quick and easy she can wow her customers!  How cute would it be to order a stamp with the family's new name and address?

This month's hostess club cards!

Here are the cards we made at this month's hostess club!

The 'thank you' card was made on glossy white card stock.  We used sponges and the NEW in-colors to create the beautiful sunset background.  My friend Lorena taught this technique at our last demonstrator meeting.

The Halloween card's mummy has a googlie eye that moves when you move the card.

Lots of fun!

The McCrop is coming!

This year two of my team members and I are teaming up with two other paper crafting vendors to sponsor the McCrop to benefit Ronald McDonald House of Rochester, NY.  This is an all-day crop where you get table space to scrapbook, make cards or do any type of craft you desire!  Breakfast and lunch are provided.

LOTs of work has been done to gather items to raffle off!  Stampin' Up! provided $300 in product to include in the raffle! 

A lot of work has been done in preparation for the event.  Our team will have a make-n-take where you can donate $2 to Ronald McDonald House and you will get to make a card to keep.  :)  Here is one of the make-n-takes.  It features the "Moving Forward" stamp set.  If you purchase this stamp set from me prior to the crop or at the crop, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to Ronald Mc Donald House.  In addition, since the Ronald McDonald House is one of Stampin' Up!'s corporate charities, they will donate an additional $3 to the charity.

Here are four cards made with the same stamp set

In addition, 20% of any Stampin' Up! purchase made online or at the crop will be donated to the charity as well!
