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.

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.
Deb’s Diva Day
Hi stampers,
I hope you all got a chance to watch my second video on the coconut card. So much fun.
Today was my Diva Day. That is a day I set aside each quarter for the girls in my downline that have earned it. In order to earn this incentive, you must be in the top 10 for sales for the quarter. Each month I post in my downline newsletter who the top ten are for that month. Then at the end of the quarter, I post who earned it for the quarter. They are invited to my studio and I shower them with make and takes and Stampin' Up! goodies to take home. This month I featured the new Distressing Essentials Kit #118762.
Distressing Essentials Kit #118762
I focused the whole afternoon on very vintage cards. Here is my favorite card of the day.
Here's a close-up of the flower.
Stamp Set: Afterthoughts #118388 Wood Mount or 120121 Clear Mount – Level I hostess set
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Newsprint DSP #117166
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Distressing Essentials #118762, Wide Oval Punch #119859, 1 3/4" Circle Punch #119850, 2 3/8" scallop Circle Punch, #118874, Antique Brads #117273, Basic Black 5/8" Stain Ribbon #117285
There is a lot of new product on this card. That was only one of 6 cards that we did today. They now have a great class they can take to their customers. The girls enjoyed themselves but what warmed my heart were the stories they told when they first got there. One said she sent her husband on to Maine that morning with friends and she would meet him there (she was not going to miss Diva Day); and one was going to meet her family up to the Great Escape after she finished Diva Day; another had a family picnic she was going to join after Diva Day; another drove 1 1/2 hours with a shoulder that was just operated on just so she could attend my Diva Day. I am so glad I started these days. I enjoy them as much as the girls enjoy coming. They work hard to earn that position and they deserve the day of pampering. THANK YOU NEW YORK INKETTS (that's the name of my stamping group)!!!!
If you are a person that used to be a demonstrator and would like to jump back on board, Stampin' Up! has a SUPER special going on right now. You can RE-join for only $35. Contact me and I will get you the paperwork ASAP, hurry, this special is only good for a little while longer!
I hope you enjoyed my post and I'll see you tomorrow. I have my Direct Downline meeting tomorrow! Phew, busy weekend but I'm trying to get everything in before I leave for convention! Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.
Oh wait, I have to share one more picture with you. After Diva Day, we took Katie to Sherrie Lynn's Gluten Free Restaurant in Latham then all three of us went to see the new movie "Despicable Me", it was a 3D movie…here's the picture Katie took of Kevin and I :0) Too much fun!…I laughed so hard! It was all good.
Those are my 3D glasses!
