Filled with Love

A few years ago, I was on a date with my husband and a few other friends when another set of couples exited the restaurant we were at and we overheard this conversation between the two men:

Man #1: “Hey, that football game is on next Saturday…do you want to come over and watch it?”
Man #2: “Um, isn’t that Valentine’s day? I don’t think my wife would go for that.”
Man #3: “Really? Is Valentine’s on the 14th this year?”

Just in case you missed it, Valentine’s *IS* on February 14th this year (and last year, and next year…and the year after that…) and I’m here to help you show your love in the most creative ways 🙂

Summer Time, and the Stampin’ Is Easy

…I just wish BREATHING were easy today (darn allergies!)

Summer is filled with trips to the pool, family vacations, yard work, blockbuster movies, sleeping in, barbecues and escaping with a good read. It’s also a great time for a few easy creative projects, and I’ve got you covered! I’ll prepare everything for you to come and spend an hour or two and go home with a bunch of finished greetings cards or even a WHOLE SCRAPBOOK!

This is a peek into my ALBUM-IN-A-DAY CLASS: Finish a complete 6×6 scrapbook using the Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ kit. Class includes vinyl post-bound album, 10 sheet protectors and 20 pages ready for you to add your photos for just $30. Bring scissors, adhesive and a paper trimmer if you have one. Seriously, it’s that easy.

Love What You Do

“To love what we do
and share what we love, 
as we help others enjoy creativity 
and worthwhile accomplishments
…in this we make a difference!”
~Stampin’ Up! Statement of the Heart
Having just returned from Stampin’ Up! Leadership, I can truly say I LOVE WHAT I DO and I love sharing it with you 🙂 Here are just a few things I loved about Leadership Conference in Phoenix, Arizona (aside from the weather being in the upper 60’s) :
1. My new bag! Isn’t it cute??  I have such a collection of cute bags from Stampin’ Up! events 🙂

2. Make-n-Takes: Like a stamp camp for demonstrators! We oohed and aaahed over each one. L to R: Sue, Sherrill, Kristi, Judy and Loni. Now we have many new ideas to share with you!

3. The demonstrations and ideas that flowed from day to day! Every year I think “They can’t show me anything I don’t already know” and every year they prove me wrong (thank heavens!). There is always “fresh creativity” that astounds me…and keeps me coming back for more.
4. The FOOD is always spectacular at Leadership. They spoil us rotten and I *may* have eaten the extra one of these at our table on day at lunch…

5. Manager’s Reception! This year it was a Mexican Theme complete with a Mariachi Band and Rodeo. What fun! Have I mentioned that Stampin’ Up! now has a Spanish Catalog? I’m hoping one of my Spanish-speaking friends will join my Stampin’ Family of demonstrators, soon (call me!).

6. Swapping and Sharing. Demonstrators bring stamped cards to trade and share. This is a great way to get lots of new ideas (but only have to come up with ONE yourself). This sample was actually shared by Shelli Gardner (CEO and founder) during one of her presentations.
Now that I’ve shared just a peek at all the fun we had at Leadership, let me invite you to come to CONVENTION with me in July…as a new Demonstrator in my Stampin’ Family! During Sale-a-Bration (through March, 2010), our Starter Kits are 15% off AND you can choose any stamp set from the current catalogs FREE when you join! I’d love to have you come and enjoy the fun and creativity of Stampin’ Up! with me in Salt Lake City this July, so call or e-mail so we can visit about this fantastic opportunity 🙂

Holiday Stamp Camp Sneak Peek #2

Another “sneak peek” at one of the projects we’ll be making at the Holiday Stamp Camp! Why, you may ask, am I just showing a part of the project? I’ll answer a question with a question: “Why do they just give you a small sample at the grocery store?”

I can promise you’ll leave the Holiday Stamp Camp as stuffed with creative ideas for the holidays as though you had just eaten Thanksgiving dinner (not to mention just as satisfied)!
