A Few More Cards From Leadership

I have a few more cards to share from Leadership. There were so many awesome projects and cards there. Every time I look at the photos I find something else. Now this first project gave us quite a chuckle, we had heard a few ladies talking about this in the elevator and to our surprise Thelma got one in a swap. These will make a perfect baby shower favor for a boy. I think the picture tells it all. :)

I love this card! It uses the Very Vintage wheel

This card uses the new stencil in the Mini Catalog - Folk Flowers

This card uses Love Bandit from the Mini - cute isn't it?

Class Cards

I went over to Joann's to stamp on Friday, I love being in her studio. Positive energy just seems to flow there along with the laughter. Here are a couple of the cards I made while there and a couple I saw in her studio that I just loved.

How cute is this punch doggie? The heart is the petal die from the Big Shot

This was a class card done with Vintage

Valentine's Day Projects from Regionals

We had so many projects shown to us at Regionals and I love being able to share them with you. The ideas they share are awesome!

These are our Heart Chipboards made into a candy box and a Heart Album.

Message in a bottle, the Post Office will actually send these thru the mail. If I remember right it costs around $1.50 to mail.

This is our 2 x 2' Glassine Envelope available in the Mini Catalog. The edge is punched with the heart edge punch.

This is the largest Glassine envelope available in the Mini. You can also send these thru the mail. The label is covering up the greeting.

 

How cute are these? They cut a large valentine and folded it around the card before mailing.

Some Sweet Treat Cards from Regionals

I thought I would share a few more cards made with the new Heart Treat Sweet Cups that are available right now. They will only be available while they last so be sure to order yours before they are gone.

Caution!

I had to laugh when my order came the other day. On the top of the box was this warning.

We were told at Leadership about this label being added to our boxes but seeing it made it all the better.

I have a few cards to share with you, the birth announcement we made for Isabella a while back, a friend card using our new Vintage stamp set and a Valentine. I will making some more Valentine's this week to share with you.

This is a pocket card announcing the birth of Isabella. All of the details are printed on the vellum, layered onto white paper which was stamped with a teddy bear.

This card uses the stamp set Vintage Vogue and our Sending Love Specialty Paper

This card uses the new Sweet Treat Heart cups and our newest stamp set Sweetheart. This card has some of our chunky glitter and tiny hearts from our new edge punch to make it a shaker card.

More Wow Swaps!

I am always so amazed when I see all of the talent SU demos have and are so willing to share with each other and you! I have so much fun with the talented group I belong to.

This next project was done by my upline Joann, isn't it cute?

We had the best time photographing these projects at Leadership. We did it at lunch one day. We used our napkins and water glasses as a backdrop.

I'll be back tomorrow with some Valentine's I made yesterday using our new Heart Sweet Treat Cups.

Wow Swap at Leadership

My upline was in a Wow Swap at Leadership and graciously shared the projects with us. The projects belong to Joann Wiemers, Amanda Coughlin, Amy Celona, Susy Miller and Becky Roberts.

Flower Pin

I'll continue with the projects tomorrow.

Quilting with the Big Shot

At Leadership there was a wonderful display of quilts and items made using the Big Shot. I just loved seeing all of the new ideas!

Awesome Leadership Displays

We got into Phoenix on Tuesday early enough to go to the Botanical Gardens there. We spent a few hours there just before the sun went down.

The bright green cactus are actually glass. They were just gorgeous.

On Wednesday we got up and went to check in and to see what was in store at the Memento Mall. We were not disappointed. I loved the bags we got!

There were also a lot of displays done by Stampin' Up for us to enjoy that day also.

I hope you are enjoying these glimpses into Leadership.

Back from Leadership and Regionals in Phoenix

All I can say is "Wow"! What an amazing time we had last week at Leadership and Regionals. Stampin' Up! does it better than any other company out there. You just know how much they care and they really want to help you succeed. I am not sure where to even start!

Before I left I made a couple of swap bags for some friends of mine that were attending. The bags are made of vinyl, they are sewn and I used our grommets on the side as decoration.

You can see one of the swap cards I did in the pouch on the swap bag. This bag is modified from one done by Linda Hansen at convention a couple of years ago. I will be posting a kit and options to purchase instructions for this purse later in the week.

This is one of the swap cards I did. I used the Happily Ever Set for the image and Well Scripted from the new Occasions Catalog for the script.

All week I will be showing you pictures of the display boards at Leadership and Regionals. There were some wonderful projects and I want to share all I can. One day this week I will show you a Big Shot display of quilts and fashion accessories that are just amazing! And then there are the swaps!

Large Candy Bar Wrappers. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
