Blog Candy!

I need to get organized and clean out some old stuff so I am giving away some blog candy….

This was one of the classes I did a few months ago using the Guest Book Scrappin Kit. We made a box with several cards and notecards to go inside. This gift can be yours for FREE  just by leaving a comment on my blog. I will pick 1 lucky winner on Monday!

Wow! Look at all this free stuff!

Most of you know that I just returned from the Stampin' Up convention in Salt Lake City. It was such a blast to spend a week with so many great friends and learn lots of wonderful new ideas. My head was exploding from all of the cool projects I saw there. But, one of the best things about convention (besides seeing all of my friends of course) is all the FREE stuff you get! This is just part of my freebie pile. I still got lots of swaps and gifts from friends too.  The pink and orange bag is the one that everyone got as a convention bag and it was filled with lots of goodies and stamp sets. Then the other bag with the flowers on it is my Founder's Circle bag. I got that one for being in the top 100 demos in the country. I earned spot  #23 this year. I couldn't have done it without all of my wonderful customers and downline. They are super duper fantastic!!! Then on the last day of convention, Shelli surprised us all with a packet of goodies from the new Holiday mini coming out in about a month! The crowd went wild when she announced it and the Stampin Up employees brought them all out for everyone. It was one crazy day! Convention is such a fantastic time for everyone who goes. It is like a giant slumber party with all of your girlfriends for the week. No cooking, cleaning, kids, laundry at all!!! Just FUN! I encourage all demonstrators to go next year if you have never been to experience the excitement of it all.

May Featured Demo of the month (part 1)

It is time to feature another one of my fabulous downline again! This month I am spotlighting Melissa Riker. Melissa is a busy mom of 2 little boys but is a natural when it comes to stamping. Her husband is in the military so they seem to move quite often and she has to start her business over again. She is very energetic and always is up for a challenge though.

Here is a picture of her with her 2 boys.  Melissa also has her own blog here

Here are a few of Melissa's sample projects…..Please leave her a comment and let her know what you think.

This one is a postit note holder. It is hard to tell from just the front view.

This is one of my favorite sets…Vintage Vogue. Melissa did a great job and showed some of our new smooch spray on this one.

New Video from Stampin Up!

Another downline swap….

This swap was created by Sue Bjorgaard, another one of my fabulous downline. Our theme for the month was "wheely special cards" so you had to use a Stampin Up wheel on your card.
