Challenge Card

This is a challenge card made for THIS challenge. I loved the sketch!
All products from CTMH except the star punch and sentiment from SU.

Celebrate

Shelli has a blog! And she has challanged us to create a project with the word "celebrate", so I did! Look, Angela, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig! (Angela was one of my SLC roomates and a huge stamp-a-ma-jig advocate).
I made other cards, but this one is my favourite! Stamp sets: Enjoy Every Moment
Card Stock: chocolate chip, Kiwi Kiss, whisper white
ink: chocolate chip, kiwi kiss
acc: old olive poly-twill ribbon, stamp-a-ma-jig

Birthday Balloons

I made this for a co-worker's daughter. I think the colours are perfect for a 10 year old.
Yep, these are old SAB sets...my SU order has not yet arrived! LOL! And though I LOVE the sets I got from Convention, none were suitable for a birthday card.

Pictures from convention

The SU tote and matching camera bag made from material that looks like our new designer paper. Ikea cabinet, Stampin' Up style!

My room mates, Dawn and Angela.

Me and my loot! All the stuff we demosnatrators got free for attending convention.

Just me.

News from Salt Lake City!

WOW! What a Convention! I had so much fun, and there is so much news to share! The biggest news, of course, is the new partnership SU has...I'll tell you about that in a minute.
On day Two, I was one of the lucky winners from Prize Patrole! I recieved new Holiday Treasures Designer paper, new in colour ink, wide Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and the new Word Flurries rub-ons! LOVE free stuff!
Speaking of free stuff, UPS came while Shelli was on stage on Day Three and announced he had a package for...EVERYBODY! The room exploded as 6000 ladies jumped from their seats and screamed! Then a couple of dozen UPS workers came running out to hand us our package. It turns out UPS donated the Ronald McDonald House charity stamp set to every demonstrator! How cool is that? I can hardly wait to use it and show all my customers this super awesome set!
Well that's about it. Oh, yeah...the "BIG" news...the "BIG" partnership that Shelli announced. SU is now offering exclusive SU only dies for the sizzix BIG SHOT! And we also offer the Big Shot and many other Sizzix dies! I was so excited when i heard this news! The projects I saw demonstrated with this exciting new tool were all so creative, fun and EASY! And who doesn't like easy? As a perk for Convention attendees, there are bundles available for pre-order at a discount! Thanks, SU!

Castaways Crop

Oh, how much fun did I have Saturday afternoon, scrapping with my Castaways! It had been so long since I was able to meet with them! And I will be saving up for our NavCan weekend in October, ladies! As soon as I pay off my Convention trip! LOL!
So I am in love, LOVE I say, with this Bella Rose paper from SU! And the level 2 hostess set with the gingerbread men, OMG! So cute! I made these 2 cards yesterday, but I have to say I really like the second one...warmest wishes! (cuz it's a gingerbread man...from the oven...get it?)
Yep, I'm crazy like that!

Only 2 more days til I am on that plane headed for convention in gorgeous Salt Lake City! I am just a little bit excited! LOL! So many plans...I will be meeting my roomie Dawn at the Chicago airport as it just so happens we are on the same flight! We have never met before. Then we will both meet Angela, our other roomie, once we get to the Homewood Suites. There are many parties and get-togethers planned outside of the classes and workshops and events that SU has planned, so I will be back with many photos!

Ethan

LOVE this paper-it's the same paper I used for the Sam Rocks page.
This is my neice's baby, Ethan. He is just over one year old. I met him at my neice's wedding a couple of weeks ago. He is very cute and funny! See that black and white photo of him? I have a pic somewhere of his mom and she looks just like that! I want to do a page with a side by side of both pics...assoon as I findit! LOL! I sold 4 more boxes of cards today-for 120.00. That's half my room at Salt Lake City. If I can sell another 4 boxes, or individual cards, and make another 120.00, my room AND my flight will have been paid for by selling cards since Mother's Day! How cool would that be!
(Hey, anybody need cards? LOL!)

camping fun

The scan came out crooked-ack!
This was another DT project. I used my friend Michelle's pictures because they camp and we don't! LOL! Plus the subject matter isa so darn cute! She takes great photos, too.

French birthday card

At my job, a calendar is circulated every month. On the calendar is listed every employee's birthday. I have made a card for every birthday since I began March 10, whether I know the employee or not. So far they have been well recieved.
This card is for a colleague in one of our french queues. I do not know her, well except someone pointed her out to me and said, "that's her." so I know who to give the card to, LOL!
The sentiment translates into, "Birthday Wishes". Her birthday is tomorrow, so I hope she likes it! With convention only 3 weeks away, I have been very busy with my swaps etc...and very negligent in my blog visits. I do apologize, but I promice to visit you all soon!

Sam Rocks

This was created for my design team. I LOVE this paper! I used the SU star punches to mimic the stars in the paper.
