Convention - Day 1 Flower Power Party and Card Samples

Hi there My Stamping Friends,

Convention Day 1 finished off with a groovy Flower Power Party that Stampin' Up! hosted. Here are a few shots so you can feel like you were there right along with us. If you want to attend convention next year, join my team and we can travel together or meet up there.

This is a shot of just a few of the people that were celebrating with us that night. The costumes ran the gammut as you can tell.


Here are Lyn and Janna; demo friends from home.



This is a shot of me, Dale and Tim from the Corporate Team, and of course Dina Anker.

Julie and I enjoying some hula-hoop action. Julie is actually a very good hoola-hooper (is that a verb??).

I even got to take a photo with Shelli and Sterling. They are sooooo groovy!!

At the end of my convention notes, I'm going to post a few of the cards I saw on the sample boards. I don't know who stamped them, so if they are yours just let me know and I'll give you credit.

I love the background masking on this one.

Check out this top note ribbon quilt card. Very Cool!!

I LOVE the rain on this card. What a great addition.

Clean, simple and quick. Very much my style.

Someone spent a lot of time cutting out these monkey and hanging them on vines made of ribbon. I just love it.

Hope you have a great Stampin' Day,

Rose-Ellen

A touch of inspiration..

I've been feeling very creatively inspired over the past few days and I've put that inspiration to work. Last night I worked on a card kit that will go to a little girl at her birthday party today. Once I pulled out my line art stamps (stamps that are just begging to be colored in) I had sooooo much fun. This is what stamping is about.


So, here is the kit that I ended up with:

I used some current stamps and some retired sets from my stash that I can't bear to part with (Side note: we are at the tail end of the ordering period for the Last Chance List. If there is something you want that is on the list, please order in today or tomorrow so you won't be sad on Thursday when you can't get the set anymore).

My supplies:
Pick a Petal stamp set, Simple Birthday Thanks stamp set, Time Well Spent (got that FREE from Stampin' Up! just for being a demonstrator), Loads of Love, Crayon Kids and Beary Best Friends . I also used several misc colors of card stock for the card bases, current and retired ribbons, and buttons. All in all I think a little girl would love to get this card kit. I KNOW I would.

Hope you have a fantastic day!
Rose-Ellen

P.S. Don't forget that the current catalog ends tomorrow night at midnight so if you want any stamps, accessories (lots are retiring), card stock (the price is going up so you might want to stock up now) or envelopes you can place your order on line or call me and I'll place it for you.
And don't forget about my special offer for a chance at a $50 shopping spree (see my previous post - sorry for the formatting on that one, the preview does NOT look like that. It has pretty bullet points and colors too!
