busy busy but fun fun
Okay so it's been a busy summer and a super busy week. So no posts. Sorry, but I hope everyone missed me!
I don't even have to go back to school this year but I'm still looking forward to the first day of school! :0) Isn't that fun?! I'm excited because I DON'T have to go!!!! The grocery store and the streets will be MINE again!!! Sorry but that's the way it is!!! :0) I've already made plans to go out to lunch to celebrate on the first day of school.
Don't have a job? Want one? Have a job but don't like it? I can help. There is a VERY nice "sweet" special going on for anyone that signs up to be a demo in the month of September. I'm so excited to announce that the bag that I got at convention is yours for FREE if you sign up to be a demonstrator in the month of September. This is what it looks like. It's awesome. Big enough to hold all your stamping and scrapbooking supplies but light enough to tote around on your shoulder and not look like a Quasimodo dragging around to one side :0). Yes, I said it was big enough to carry your 12×12 scrapbooking paper. Oh my gosh…
Greenhouse Gala Bag Front View – just look at all those pockets.
Greenhouse Gala Bag Back View – that is another huge pocket on the back. There are also pockets on the side and a gazillion of them inside.
Remember, the whole bag is FREEEEE if you sign up to be a demonstrator starting September 1st. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like to sign up under me, please contact me at stampladee@aol.com or go to my website at http://stampladee.stampinup.net and click on START YOUR OWN BUSINESS, then Click on Join Now . When it prompts you to enter a password, the password for my group is Deb Valder. After you finish that, just follow the prompts and you are in and your bag will be instantly on it's way. If you already have a demonstrator, you can also sign up with her.
Did you know there was paper and stamps to match this bag? Coach Bags eat your heart out, you only have purses to match your bags! So there! The Designer Series Paper that this bag matches is on page 173 of the catalog and it too is called the Greenhouse Gala #117167. And if that wasn't enough, we have TWO stamp sets to match the bag and the paper found on page 99 of the big catalog- One of the sets is called Friends Never Fade #118750 wood mount and #120618 clear mount. The other stamp that matches this bag and paper is called Ornate Blossom #117094. It is a single stamp and only available in wood mount. They are both beautiful. I'll be showing you pictures of these stamp sets in action in a few days. So remember, if you are out there wanting to jump on board, contact me or sign up on line and INSTANTLY become a demonstrator but this special does not start until September 1st!
I have a class coming up soon that I'm prepping for now. It's called the "Vintage Christmas Class". I designed (all by myself) the first card for this class just the other day. I needed to complete a swap I was doing for my friend Lisa Freeman and this is what I came up with. So this is the first of several Vintage Holiday Cards we will be doing in the class.
Most of the supplies for this card came from the Holiday Mini Catalog that you should have received by now. If you didn't receive one, please contact me and I will get one out to you right away. Mine were sent out by Stampin' Up! because I forgot to send them myself and they "picked and choosed" who they wanted them to go to (it's all sales driven) so if you ordered from me, you got one. I know of a few husbands that got them, they were so excited and so were the wives because now they can pick out what THEY want to give their wives for Christmas! YIPPEEEE.
So I'm not going to give you directions to this card, you will want to come to the class to learn some really exciting techniques that will really make your cards look like an old fashioned, very vingtage Christmas.
Take care and check back tomorrow….Thank you for stopping by.

Hi girls,
I wanted to share a card I received at convention as one of my swaps. I just love this stamp set (The Element s of Style stamp set #120045 clear mount and 118611 wood mount). This card is made with that set.
The colors used are Old Olive, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink and stamped with Black Stazon. The punches are the wide oval, the large oval and the scallop oval! Such a pretty card. I love to swap cards with demonstrators. You get such a variety of styles and colors. So much fun and I get to share them all with you.
Okay, today I've been working on my cards for my Founders Swap, are you ready to see my pile of what I've been working on? I got all the base cards cut and the first layer as well as one of the embellishments…okay here it is (remember I can't show you what the finished card looks like yet because someone may see it, just know that all the club memebers that have seen it so far just loved it! :0)
Can you guess the theme? okay okay, it doesn't look like much but those are the beginnings of 135 cards! WOW!
Anyway, thank you for stopping by and check back for updates! Have a great night.
Did you know…
That our Pattern Designer Series Paper Stacks now come in EVERY color. Remember in the old catalogs, Stampin' Up! selected which color they wanted to feature that year. Well now you get stacks of the Designer Series Paper – 40 sheets in each pack. If you choose the In Colors, you will get 4 sheets of each color (each color has 2 double sided designs) in all five colors (boy was that a mouth full – what you need to know is that you get 40 sheets)!
If you choose one of our collections, you will get 40 sheets also but 2 each of 2 double sided designs in 10 colors (oh heck…just know that you are getting 40 sheets here too)! It's gorgeous paper. Check it out on page 175 of the new catalog. If you don't have your catalog, let me know and we will get one to you!
So here are all the goodies I had to ship home because I did not have room in my suitcase. UPS loves me!
Here is a close up of my free stamps. I love free stamps. I won quite a few of them because of my awards.
Here I am winning one of my awards…I came in 8th for Sales in the company and 9th for Demonstrator of the Year (Yippee I was in the top 10 for both of them). Don't you just love my dress…I look like Betty Rubble (Barney's wife)! Oh for those of you that don't know me…I'm the one second from the right with the brown and black circle dress :0) My husband's name is not Barney though, it's Kevin.
Here are some of the gifts they gave me besides the FREE STAMPS! Oh my gosh, I don't even know who Cole Haan is but I got his scarf and purse! There is another diamond necklace and MORE FREE STAMPS! :0) Are you understanding why I had to ship this stuff home? NO ROOM IN THE THREE SUITCASES I HAD!
Okay if you have followed anything from Stampin' Up's convention this year, you will KNOW that THIS is the most coveted bag there is. THIS is the bag that everyone wants. You could only buy one at convention. They just released this morning a few more for the demonstrators to buy but there were only a few left…It's awesome…great for workshops and scrapbooking.
This is my favorite thing…it's my computer bag. I bought one for me, one for Katie and I'm giving the rest to my downline that promote! Incentive gifts. I just love this bag!
Hope you enjoyed my post, I'll see you tomorrow.
VOTE!!!
Okay so at the end of the awards night we always have some amazing entertainment and this year was no exception!!! The Charley Jenkins Band came to the Salt Palace in their bus…literally IN their bus…the bus came INTO the Salt Palace to deliver the band. Here are two of the band members. Take a SPECIAL note of the girl on the left. She is playing the fiddle. SHE WAS AMAZING…and guess what…she will be on America's Got Talent THIS Tuesday (I'm pretty sure it's this Tuesday)!. I can't wait to see her!!! She's so adorable and can she play!!!!! You HAVE TO SEE HER! Make sure you VOTE for her. I'm not sure how to do it but I'm going to figure it out!!!! VOTE for the FIDDLER! :0)
At the end of the Convention on Saturday, we had another free give away! What fun…as the demonstrators were getting their gifts, they were doing the wave while holding up their gift….look at how adorable they were…
Look at them doing the wave!
It was filled with awesome FREE product! How neat is that.
and then it was over. Saturday is such a bitter sweet day…we've experienced the best event ever, then, boom….it's over :0( But we had fun and reconnected with old friends (old meaning long time friends not OLD)! :0) So much fun. Then it was back to the hotel to pack and get ready to leave to go home to my family on Sunday.
