No Room For Cloths

I got my suit case packed for convention... But now I have no room for cloths because it is full of swaps!

Check In for Convention

I was so delighted this morning when I went to check-in for Convention online. It said "CONGRATULATIONS! You have won an award!" I can't wait to check in and see what it is :)

Spanish Fan Page

Stampin' Up! has started a new Facebook Fan Page for those who are interested in Stampin' Up! in Spanish. Check it out and "Like" it. I always have been in love with the Quinceañera stamp set. I wish I had someone I knew that was turning 15 so I could help make cute invites and party favors.

Glitter fun

My youngest daughter has been helping me today. She is in love with all the glitter paper. She likes playing with the little pieces that are left over from the punches. Ummm What do you think you can make out of rows and rows and rows of red glitter boarder strips. Any good guesses?

Happy 4th of July

Swap Nightmare

Good Morning Ladies, I hope you all slept well last night. I was up kinda late working on my swaps for convention. I went to bed about midnight. I awoke from a dream that no one would swap with me at convention because the Sizzix Milk Carton was retired. Before I even made coffee I ran for my new Catalog and was very happy to see the milk Carton in print.

As you can see I outline mine with a silver marker to see the lines better. It helps when you are up late, tired and getting excited about convention.

Convention is almost here

7 day countdown until I am off to Convention. I am excited for a fun week of stamping with old and new friends. We have been working hard on swaps for the past two weeks. I hope to wrap it up by Thursday. But I have a feeling I will still be working on them on the plane ride. Here is a sneak peak at one of my swaps. It is a shoe box swap. You ask what a shoe box swap is, because who really wants an old shoe box? Well I prepare everything to make a fun project, (design, measure, and cut paper) I take all the supplies with me to finish the card. We sit around tables and pass around out boxes and create each others masterpieces. So here is one of mine...
I used the new Stampin' Up! Pennant Parade set and coordinating punch and Designer Series Paper. The colors are, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, and Wild Wasabi. I also got out the Big Shot and rolled out a couple cute milk cartons to fit in the holder.

To make the holder cut a 5 1/5 X 8" piece of cardstock. Score at 1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4 on the 5 1/2 side and score 1" on each side of the 8 sides

Hope you enjoy!
