More pics from Leadership

 

 

I went to my upline's meeting last night and had to do a little speech on how much fun Leadership was and for me, the best part is always seeing my friends from all over the country. These are pictures from our last night together at Leadership. We were all bummed about going home because we had so much fun all week (plus we were all going home to freezing cold weather after enjoying 70's in Phoenix). A bunch of us went to Uno's Pizza for dinner and ended up staying for hours just talking. The weather was so nice we ate outside.

Here are my friends Lisa Fast and Dena Rekow. Lisa is from South Dakota and said it was like 30 below zero where she lived so they closed the whole state down because it was too dangerous to go outside. I can't even imagine. I am not a cold weather person. I want to live in Florida one day so it is warm most of the year.

 

 

Here are Tami White, her mom and her downline and my awesome roomie Terri.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are Pam, me and Tami. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, I have to throw in something stamped here. This is a really cool box that Shelli decorated. Of course if Shelli made it, it is gorgeous!  I love the way she makes everything shabby chic (vintage) looking.

Pics from Leadership

Here are a few pictures from Leadership….these are just a few of the many friends that I have made being a Stampin Up demo all these years. I can't wait to go to Stampin Up events to see all of my friends from everywhere in the country. Stampin Up is such a great company to work for and the friendships I have made here will last a lifetime. The 1st one is my awesome roommate Terri and I.

 

Here is me with my great friend Kimberly Van Diepen.

 

 

This is my awesome friend Cindy Petersen. She always makes me smile!

 

These are pics from the Managers Receptions. Our table was set up so nice, I had to take a picture.

 

Here is Kimberly getting down!

 

 

This is my good friend Max who is also a Sam at Stampin Up. She always keeps everyone laughing.

 

 

 

Here are Max, Christie and Cindy acting silly!

I promise to show stamping ideas from Leadership tomorrow.

Glitterchicks Christmas party!

Here are some pics from my downline Christmas get together. We had a pot luck dinner and Christmas gift exchange. Everyone also got to make several projects. It was a really fun night.

Here is one of the many nice gifts that we exchanged.

Ok, I am almost done posting Founder’s Circle stuff….

I just have so much fun stuff to share from Founder’s Circle….. I will post some of the swaps starting tomorrow.

 

Here is another pic from the pajama party. I stole this one off Kimberly’s blog since she hasn’t sent me the originals yet. She is my photographer. That is Dawn Rapsas, me, Christie Schroeger, and Dawn Griffith. We all helped Dawn R. with her swaps and we were covered in glitter from head to toe. We finished them with about 2 minutes to spare.  

 

 

This is Cori Hancock and Bonnie Thurber . They both work at Stampin Up and made our trip extra special. They are so much fun.

 

 

Here are BJ Peters, Cheryl Flynn, and Tami White. I had so much fun hanging out with them last week.

 

 

 

 

 

This was the gathering place where we did our make and takes and just hung out. It was so relaxing in there.

 

 

 

  

 

Stampin Up had a huge stash of candy in the gathering place for us. Everytime you went in there, there were tables of candy all around the room so you always had to stop and grab some. This is Tami and Leasa sneaking some…..

 

 

 

 This is our farewell dinner the last night. We went to a country club called The Ledges which was gorgeous. I am in the front row center wearing a black top. If you get a magnifying glass you can see me!

 

More from Founder’s Circle…..

Here are some more pics from Founder’s Circle.

 

 

This first one is one of the projects my good friend Cindy Peterson made. I was hoping she would leave it laying around so I could stick it in my bag….LOL! Only kidding! It was way cute though.

 

 

 

 

 

This is our wonderful hostess Susan Adams. We spent the day at her house (Suzy’s stamping cottage). It was so cool. You just never want to leave there. Also in the picture are Cindy Peterson and me!

 

 

 

This is my good friend Leasa Williams…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are Leasa, Cheryl Flynn and me hanging out at the Pajama party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was our pajama party swap…..what a blast. That is my great friend Kimberly Van Diepen in front. I am standing next to her on the right side.  I am already missing my friends and can’t wait to go to Leadership to see everyone again. That is the best part of this business….the friendships. I have so many awesome friends all over the country.  It is so much fun when we all get together.

Founder’s Circle

I just returned from Founder’s Circle and it was sooooo much fun! I love seeing all of my friends from all over the US and Canada. We had a nice relaxing week. I spent a lot of time stamping at my friend Susan Adam’s house (she lives in St. George) so I thought I would share some of those pictures first. Susan has this awesome stamping cottage next to her house. We were all drooling over how nice it would be to have one ourselves. I did take pictures of our gifts and things but many of them are top secret and cannot be shared until the Occasions mini comes out so I will share some other things now.

Here are my friends Cindy Peterson, Kimberly Van Diepen and Jackie Bolhuis. We were all making some really cool projects which I will be sharing in the next several days.

 

 

 

Here are Cindy, Cheryl Flynn, and Leasa Williams

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Christie Daugherty and April Roycroft. April’s sweet little baby slept the whole day! She has a different little headband to go with every outfit. They were so cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my friend Georgia Giguere holding some of the flower pins we made at Susan’s house using the Big Shot. I learned so many cool things to do with fabric and the Big Shot, it was amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a close-up of the flower pins. They are just gorgeous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of the quilts that Susan made using the Big Shot. You can punch out so many cool shapes and then just sew them on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another quilt that is just gorgeous. This one used the scalloped oval die to frame all of her pictures and the Decorative Accents and Decorative Accent #2 for the swirls. How cool is that??? I think I might have to take up quilting now!

Number Eight is Really Great!

 

At my stamp club last night, Carol made cupcakes and stuck a little sign in there that said "Number Eight is Really Great".  That is because I was #8 for demo of the year this year! I was so surprised. SHe had brought them in and set it up in the kitchen and I didn’t even know it until I went in there and saw the sign. Too bad I didn’t get the picture before half of them were eaten! Here is a picture of Carol holding the tray. Thanks Carol for being such a sweetie!

Just a couple more of my faves….

I had a couple more swap pics to show you. These were 2 of my favorites!  I loooooooove that new Medallion stamp and the clock on top of it is just gorgeous! I don’t know who made it, but I love it!  The cake one is really cute too. The last picture is of me and my best friend Kimberly Van Diepen. We both were in the top 10 this year for demo of the year (she was #2 and I was #8). I thought this was a great picture of us up on the big screen as we went up on stage for one of the marches. I think this one was for promotions in your downline. Convention was such a blast this year. I hated to have to leave all of my friends after such a great week. The good part is I will get to see most of them again next month at the Stampin Up Founder’s Circle retreat in St. George Utah.

Downline meeting photos

 

I had my downline meeting on Thursday after getting back from convention. I was so excited to share everything with them. I brought back lots of prizes and gifts for everyone. I also brought a cake that said "Glitterchicks Rock". THat is the what I call our team (the glitterchicks). I wanted to celebrate my earning #8 since it was really a team effort. I couldn’t have done it without my awesome downline and customers.  After going through all the business tips from convention, we sat down to do a shoebox swap.

 

Here is the yummy cake…only buttercream icing for me of course!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the gang. We are meeting in the hallway at my church. That is the only place we could get the tables to fit longways. Hopefully one day I will need 4 or 5 tables to fit everyone!

 

 

 

 

This is Brenda’s project….love it! She used the Winter Post set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my card. I used the Razzle Dazzle set. The words are from Matchbox Messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was Tiffany’s project. She got the idea from my friend Kimberly Van Diepen and gave it her own spin. I love the chocolate ribbon on here.  I am doing a card very similar to this one in my classes this month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was Cyndi’s card. Her original one looked better than mine. I did the sponging a little too dark.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was Sandy’s card. She used the hostess set Of the Earth. This would have been a great convention swap card. I should have copied it.

MY downline meetings are always a ton of fun. Everyone who comes gets to make all of these great projects. If you would like to be part of my team, now is a great time to join. For $85, you can be a glitterchick too! You can do it for a business or as a hobbyist just to get the discount for yourself.

More pics from convention….

 

Here are a few more pics from convention. These are swaps that my roomie Terri got and  I took pictures of them. I don’t know who made them since I don’t have the originals. I just went through her samples and took pictures of the ones I liked the most.

 

 

 

 

I love this one with the Movers and shapers big shot die.

Note: I found out this one was made by my friend Robin Merriman!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one made with the big shot die….the Big Shot is by far my favorite Stampin Up tool. You can just do so many things with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my SAM (service account manager) Terri. She works at Stampin Up and makes my life so much easier. Whenever I have a problem, she is always there to help.  She is such a sweet person. Once you earn a free trip through Stampin Up, you are assigned your own SAM and it is such a nice perk. It gives you a direct connection to the company and makes you feel extra special!
