Stampin' Up! Convention - Day 3 (Friday)

Hi there My Stamping Friends, I hope you've been enjoying all the details about the Stampin' Up! Convention and my Salt Lake City adventures that you've been reading. I had so much fun while I was there and I'd love for you to join me on my next trip to Convention (July 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah) or Leadership Conference (in January 2013 in San Antonio, Texas). I'd love to answer your questions about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and how this can improve your life. We currently have a $99 starter kit promotion so consider your options. While you're doing that visit my website at http://www.roseelleneastman.stampinup.net/ & click on join my team (or start my own business) to get more information. You can use my password newrecruit to get even more information and you can even sign up on line if you have all your questions answered. Meanwhile, back to the details of Convention 2011.

Friday morning started off with break out classes. I learned a few more neat details of my Demonstrator Business Website and then went on to a demonstration on some of our products and new ways to use them and new projects to create. Project coordination using our suites of products make creating so easy. Here are a few things we saw on stage.

I ate lunch quickly and got to spend time in the demonstrator resource center checking out the samples from other demonstrators and samples and ideas from the Stampin' Up! creative team. Just amazing. Here are a few things I saw.

The afternoon session was choc full of great stuff. It started with a march across the stage for annual sales milestones and then we moved on to some more product and project demonstrations. Then another march for growing your Stampin' Up! team and more product demonstrations. Lets see if you can catch any new products in these photos.

 We ended the afternoon and had a quick break before I had to get to the Hispanic Night Event. I was presenting a WOW project on stage and I was soooooo excited and a little nervous as this was the first time I was presenting with Stampin' Up! Here are a few photos of the evening and my projects. If you missed the event and want to know how I made the cards just ask. And feel free to leave me a comment and let me know how much fun you had at the event.

Stampin' Up! Convention - Day 2 (Thursday)

Howdy My Stamping Friends, The Stampin' Up! convention is amazing this year. The +one theme is really proving to be true. Stampin' Up! has done so many fantastic +one things for us this year. Today started off with a main stage general session and included a walk across the stage for all the VIPs ~ me included. Here is a photo of what it looks like from the stage.

After that they had all the first time convention goers walk across the stage. What a rush for all the new-comers. I can't wait to take some of my downline next year for the first time. If you'd like to join me any my team at the convention let me know and I can help you get there (we are having a $99 starter kit promotion right now).

Next up was Pam Morgan and she introduced some FANTASTICALLY AMAZING new products that are going to be in our upcoming Holiday Mini. I can't show you the products just yet, but I can show you some projects. Check this out.  Of COURSE we have new items for the Big Shot. We'll have a stocking die....



Big Shot Stocking Die

 ...and a die to cut out 5 different size pop-up windows, which will come in handy for projects like this advent calendar (and many more) ....

another Big Shot Die

...and what do you think about our new cookie press? Here are just two of the patterns in this set. I CAN NOT wait to get these and make cookies with my kiddos. Stampin' Up! also includes a recipe that they've tested and adjusted to work well with the cookie press.

We spent the afternoon in break out classes and even got a free Simply Sent card kit to match one of the stamp sets that we got in our convention bag when we checked in.

Dinner was at the Olive Garden getting to know our Stampin' Up! Hispanic Market Manager Sandra Manwill and some fantastic hispanic market demonstrators. I really had a great time meeting and chatting with them, and gaining more of an understanding of the market from thier point of view.

Wonderful dinne with leaders of the Stampin' Up! Hispanic Market

After dinner I made it to the Awards Night and AfterParty. Lots of fun dancing, catching up with old friends and making new ones.
