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.

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.

Convention FUN FUN FUN
First, I'm going to work a little backwards. I got home VERY late on Sunday night and when I walked into the house this is what I found.
Katie bought these for me from the Farmers Market in Saratoga Springs and made me my annual sign (everyone knows that my VERY favorite flower is the SUNFLOWER). She made me cry. It was so nice to see Kevin at the airport and give him a big hug and it was just nice to be home with my fabulous family, I missed them so much!!!! I love to go away but I miss them when I'm gone!
And this is what I woke up to the next day….These were waiting for me in the mud room! I had them all sorted and put away before I left…then the UPS man snuck the rest of them in the week I was away. That is what I will be doing on Wednesday after we go to the Farmer's Market and pick out new carpet for my living room. Okay back to Convention…
The day before, we went over to the Convention Center and just looked around (the calm before the storm)! So this is what the gathering place looked like. Aren't the colors absolutely delicious!!!!!
The gathering place the night before the Convention opens.
Ohhhhh my gosh…so we started the days at 4:45 a.m. and didn't finish until at least 1:00 a.m. Soooooo no time to post. I'm going to try and catch you up…here we are in line to get into the building. This is the Salt Palace. It's a beautiful building.
This is so exciting. Opening Day. The day we meet up with old friends and get our bags and swap….so exciting.
All crazy good!
Then I picked up my Convention Bag. Isn't it so cute! It was FILLED with stamps and books and stuff!!! GOOOD STUFF!!!!!
Then I went to the awards booth. There is my SAM Natalie handing me my Founders Circle Bag! SOOOOOO much fun. It was FILLED with STAMPS and awards and pins! oh my gosh!!! Can it get much better…
YES YES YES….
Yes…SHOPPPPPPPPING at Momento Mall. I needed a truck to get it all back to the hotel. I did ship a lot of that stuff home TWO HUGE BOXES!!! I can't wait, it gets here on Thursday! YIPPEEEEEEEE
okay…I'll post more tomorrow….but boy was that fun! Thank you for stopping by my blog and your patience in my posts! See you tomorrow.
From the Stamping Share Table
Hi ladies,
At my stamping get togethers each month, the demos that come like to bring things that they've been doing to share with us. We have a table dedicated to these items. It is amazing. I like to take pictures of all the things they share. Here is a card that is just YUMMY!
Isn't this cute, cute, cute, cute!
It was done with the Sweet Scoops stamp set (#117078 wood mount or 120078 clear mount). This stamp set is NOT in the new catalog. If you'd like it, get it now. You can email me or shop on line any time, just go to http://stampladee.stampinup.net to order your set today! This is just too cute.
Hope you liked my post today, thank you for stopping by.
Demonstrator Extravaganza!
Well hidy ho and how are ya doin' stampers?
What an awesome stamping weekend. Friday night it was my Club 2 Die 4 (Big Shot Class); Saturday it was my Deb's Diva Day and today was my Demonstrator Get Together. It was awesome. TOTALLY a fantastic stamping day! Here is one of the make and takes we did. It was created by Beth Roberts and won for the "most liked project of the day"! It is so beautiful.
I totall enjoyed making this card. Lots of layers that you can't see here.
Here's a side view of one of the layers.
This was only one of five make and takes we did. I gave everyone one of our Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks #119969 found on page 195 of the big catalog. This is going to look AWESOME on top of this flower. Go ahead girls add it to your project! Oh my gosh! Gorgeous.
Anyway, gotta get to bed. Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did. Thank you for stopping by! Good night.

Golden Nugget for Free Product…
Hi girls,
Okay so I'm the last demonstrator in the WORLD to update her blog. Well I've been busy…getting things ready for you! I can't wait to show you what I've been working on. But that will be in just a minute.
My Annual Stamp and Accessory Sale went so fab-tab-ulous. I was with wonderful friends all day and we laughed and visted and they went home with some great bargains. Now my shelves are clear for my first order to hit the front porch (I will be making my UPS man a card with some cookies)! He just loves me!!! And for those of you that attended, the winner of the GOLDEN NUGGET was….
Pat!
YIPPEEEE….she was the one that won the golden nugget. All friends that attended the 10th Annual Open House received a beautifully decorated box with product inside plus a hug and a kiss from me (a HERSEY Hug and Kiss that is); then ONE lucky friend received the box with the GOLDEN NUGGET just like in Willie Wonka!
This is the Bitty Box and Envelope Die (#115967) from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog with the scallop punch flowers for the top. I made 50 of them and they were all gone by the end of the day!
Pat is seen here holding the nugget and the box. When she comes to club, she will see what she has won! So stay tuned.
Next I wanted to share with you Katie's 21st Birthday (my baby). We celebrated by going to the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway (voted the most beautiful quarter mile track in the US). It was so much fun and she had NOOOOOOO idea it was happening (I LOVE SURPRISES)! So we started off the evening with a buffet in the club house. They put the VIP princess and her party in the best seats in the house! We were overlooking the track and got to see every race and watched the sunset all at the same time. It was gorgeous. Here's a picture of Kate and I (and yes she was a winner and I don't mean that because she was wearing that tiara)…
Kate and I
So that is my family update for today…now for more stamping news…Look at how I reorganized my new stamp pads…
How do you like that, even I can see the names! So how did I do it?
First I printed out all the colors on label sheets (Avery 5160). I've made a pdf file for you to downlaod onto your labels. Click on the picture BELOW to download the pdf file (phew I did all the hard work for you!).
Click the picture above for the file.
Next, you will need to cut the labels into strips with your Stampin' Up! Fiskars Cutter (# 104152) so your punch will fit.
Next, take your Word Window Punch (#119857) and punch out each label. You are now ready to attach them to your stamp pads. Because they are printed on labels, you just peel and stick – "get out of town" yes, it's that easy!!!!! WAH LAH…you are done.
Hope you enjoyed my post today. See you tomorrow, enjoy your day and thank you for stopping by my blog.
Tropical Shirt Card
I wanted to get this posted before I forwarded it to your email…go to my blog to see the directions www.stampladee.com
This shirt card was the make and take I did for my Downline Get Together today. Each month I hold a downline meeting or get together for the girls that sign up with me as a demonstrator. We stamp and learn stamping techniques for four hours. It is so much fun. Today we had a Tropical Theme. The girls really got into it. They came dressed in tropical clothes, they brought tropical food and we stamped tropical cards. It was a lot of fun.
The card above was a pattern I found online. You take a regular card and cut off the top back at 1 1/4". Then you slit the front on both sides 1 1/4" (this makes the collar).
Then we stamped it with the Tropical Party Stamp Set (#118515 Wood Mount or #120081 clear mount). The colors are stamped with Old Olive, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip. The buttons are made with the new circle punch from the Punch Pack (#118309) and the Bitty Buttons (#118761). The stamp set, the buttons and the punch pack are all found in the Summer Mini Catalog. They loved it.
Here's a closeup of the buttons attached to the shirt.
This card was only one of 6 we made today. We also did a swap and went home with 23 different cards that others in the group made. And if that wasn't enough fun, we also had two demonstrations by two VERY talented demonstrators. One of the demonstrations was called "Ink and Iron" and the other demonstrtion was how to make jewlery from stamping supplies. It was a spectacular meeting. So much fun!
So what do you think? Tropical?!
This is a tropical pin made out of cardstock and the Circles #2 Die. It was made exactly like the flowers we made with the fleece. Isn't it gorgeous??!! Thank you Ruth.
Wanna know what the 10,000 in 2010 is all about? You have to ask me!
Anyway, I wanted to share what a great time we had at our get together today. It's not too late to take advantage of the $99 starter kit so you can come to the next stamping get together. You only have three more days to jump in and get it. The special is OVER after Wednesday. So contact me at stampladee@aol.com and we can get you all hooked up with the new products! Remember the kit is filled with NEW stuff from the NEW catalog…
and speaking of the new catalogs…I've been working hard to get them ready for you…they are not quite ready yet but they are getting there.
New Catalog preparation! Lots and Lots and Lots of them!
Enoy your evening and thank you for stopping by!
