It’s an honor to be a part of something that brings joy into so many lives in so many different ways. At Stampin’ Up!, making a difference is part of who we are and what we do. While I can’t completely describe the way salt tastes to someone who has never tasted it, I doubt I’ll be able to convey the feeling that surrounds me when I am enjoying convention…but I’ll try to share a little in this post.
We started out on July 18th (my birthday!) with a visit to the SU! Home Office in Riverton, UT. While I’ve been there many times, it was fun to be with friends who were seeing it for the first time. As we were waiting in line, we looked down and discovered that we all had toenails painted in Stampin’ Up! colors 🙂 Can you name them?
If you had a chance to step back from the display boards (and IF you were lucky enough to view them without a thousand people crowded around), you could see the samples spelled out the SU! tag line:
Here’s hoping you’ll spread a little magic today by sharing something you’ve created with others!
Come along with me for a Stampin’ Up! Convention report!
Wish I could share more, but we are moving to a new home, so I may be M.I.A. for a week…check back after August 1st for more creativity or RSVP for my Card Buffet this Saturday in Spanish Fork!

Sitting in the park at the library today (something good that has come from no internet at the house for the summer) enjoying music from a live band and the beautiful weather! Happily, I can also upload a few pictures from Convention and give you my report (finally!)
The theme at Stampin’ Up! this year is “Come GROW with Us” and it was carried through our convention, too. This was the stage and the colors changed each day:
Then it was 3 days full of non-stop fun:

It was another fabulous Stampin’ Up! Convention in Salt Lake City last week! Here are a few of my favorite things from Convention! Let’s start with the Late Night Stampers pre-convention events (stamp camps, shoebox swaps and reunion party):
At a family reunion a few weeks ago, we made these beautiful butterflies using the Big Shot and Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and old magazines. It makes me feel like a true lepidopterist (Word of the day: The scientific name for someone who studies and collects moths and butterflies).
It was such a hit with the family–as well as a fun way to use up those scraps creative people save–that I took it to Convention and invited my friends to make one, too: Sue, Penny, Kristi and Murlynn show off their personalized creations below.
I found Ghostline Grid paper in 11″x17″ (also available in postersize that you can cut to whichever size you want) at Walmart. It’s the perfect background as it looks scientific and popped the butterflies up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (or your excess rubber as pop dots to be “green”). Some of our favorite magazines to find amazing pictures to make into insects were Martha Stewart Living, Real Simple and Country Living. Try this at home, or we could make it a workshop at your house!
Shelli Gardner, Co-founder and CEO of Stampin’ Up! shared a tower of gift ideas with us at convention, including some beautiful hand-made jewelry (a peek at what’s coming in the Holiday Mini Catalog beginning in September!) I enjoyed this article from the Deseret News about convention and a blog report from Paper Crafts Jennifer Schaerer who also shares a look at just a few of the display boards we as demonstrators flock to during convention to fill our creative cups!
Here are 10 great reasons I LOVE Stampin’ Up!{cue music} We are family! I got all my girlfriends and me! {dancing follows}
These ladies are part of the reason I do what I do: reuniting with some of them year after year, meeting new friends, laughing/crying/stamping/creating/sharing/sleeping/eating/celebrating/mourning/working/playing together. In 17 years, we’ve done it all!
It would be great to have YOU with us next year at Convention (and all the fun in between now and then!). E-mail me (loni@sfcn.org) for a no-obligation packet to see if Stampin’ Up! is for you!
