Convention Day 1


Yesterday was check in and after navigating our way around we picked up the CUTEST bag that was STUFFED with stamp sets, convention info, and the NEW catalog!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!
We didn't even peek at the new catalog...shocking huh!? We shopped at the memento mall (it's the convention gift shop) where I got a few things I can give away at workshops, and I got this darling
camera case that matches the Designer Series Paper!

I witnessed the wild and crazy world of SWAPS! ha ha ha
I didn't do any myself, but Barbara and Debbie brought a few to see how it went, and got plenty of ADORABLE card fronts from other demonstrators. I think next time I attend a convention (hopefully next year *wink*) if I do any, I'll make some 3D items. That seems to be more my style.

There are a BAZILLION display boards with awesome cards and other projects demonstrators have sent in this past year and I photographed them ALL, as did plenty of other ladies. It was often difficult to squeeze in and get a look let alone snap a photo!

I also noticed a few with ideas using the stamps we got in our bags, as well as a board showing what make & take projects we would be completing on day 2 and 3. It's all so exciting. I can hardly believe I'm really here!


When we got back to our room, we FINALLY poured ourselves over the catalog and went through the whole thing page by page as a group. Fun, but too quick. I really need to go over it again, and this time I'll take my time and start a wish list! :)

We scrambled to get our stamp sets assembled for the next day's session and finally collapsed in bed around midnight (that's 1:00 AM Texas time, whoops!) but a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do, right!?

We Made It!!!


Well we arrived in Utah around 2:30 yesterday, and it's been too crazy to post just yet. On our way to awards night, but I'll have more pics to share soon...

I'm Packed!


Well I'm all packed and ready to go! Bright and early tomorrow at 6:00 AM I'm headed to Utah with my upline and my downline! I'm sure the ride will be fun since I'll have such great company, but the destination is what it's all about! I am so excited I can barely contain myself!!!
We're going to the 20th annual Stampin' Up! convention! WOOHOO!!!! We'll start the trip with a bag full of goodies and be doing make and takes, attending classes and getting to meet other demos from all over. It's going to be so awesome!!! I'll have my laptop, so I'll be checking in here and there to share! "Talk" to you soon!!!

Could It Be Any Easier?


This is the photo cube for my Ladies Night workshop tomorrow. We'll also be learning the faux silk technique, but this project is the highlight of the evening. I saw something plastic once that you simply slide pictures in and it was pretty cheesy, but I owe it thanks because it was my inspiration! This idea has been swirling around in my head for over a year, and once I decided to do it, I've been really excited about it!!!

I just bought a 4x4x8 foot piece of lumber at Home Depot and with hubby's help we cut it down into cubes. They really measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and I've completed my first one with sepia tone photographs and a simple stamped card stock piece on top. I used a large swirl image and overlayed the center "medallion" image which is heat embossed. Then I sanded all the edges to really make sure the photos won't peel up and I love the antiqued look the block took on. It also has a card stock bottom to cover the wood and make it table friendly. The bottom has a little stamping as well; "summer 2008" and stamped by Sally of course!

Challenges for the 4th

Happy 4th Scrappers!!! This week I'm posting TWO different challenges on SCS!

Yankee Doodle
Todays Variety challenge requires doodles....and NOT ordinary black doodles either! For this challenge I had to add a patriotic twist. I want to see red, white or blue doodles! I found a couple of articles on doodling if you need the extra help.

For my page I used my Tempting Turquoise marker to randomly scribble around my page.



FREEDOM Sketch
This is a sketch I pulled together to celebrate the 4th, but feel free to sub out the stars for hearts, flowers, or whatever strikes your fancy. Notice I didn't include the word "title" in this sketch? This is because I wanted to give you a little more FREEDOM to do it your own way. Happy scrapping ladies!!!
