Special Convention Gifts !!

Good Morning !!  

I made a very Special Convention Gift for 3 Special Ladies!!  I didn't bring this gift to Convention as I was afraid that it wouldn't make the trip too well in my suitcase.  So I personally delivered one to my Upline Susan Campfield, right before Convention.   Then I mailed one to Becky Roberts when I got back home after Convention, it arrived this Monday.  I still have one to deliver to Cherie Manderschied who is Susan's Upline, she lives here in the Twin Cities.

Okay, are you ready !!!!  Drum Roll Please.............

Isn't this too cute !!!!   This is a Chalkboard / Dry Erase Easel board.

So this is the Chalkboard side.

This is the Dry Erase side of the Easel board.  

So it is decorated on both sides, how fun is that !!

You can put messages on both sides to tell your Customers 

Thank You for coming to class.

Or

Alert them to upcoming classes!   

This final pic is of the darling holder for the Chalk and the Dry Erase markers.  The Chalk was even titled "POOL PARTY" so of course I had to choose that pack of Chalk to fill the inside.  This cute idea was part of Create with Connie and Mary's 2014 Summer Edition and was designed by Debbie Henderson.  You can still order this Session, just stop over to their blog -  Create with Connie and Mary.  It was the PERFECT gift for these Special Ladies in my life!!!  


Thanks for stopping by today !!!

Happy Stamping !!!

Convention Friends - 2014

Well I thought I would change it up a bit and share a couple of pics from Convention.  One of my most favorite things is meeting New Friends and seeing my Friends from prior Conventions.  Some of the BEST Friendships ever are my Stampin' Up Friends!!!!  Then I will continue with the gifts that I made for Convention.

So while I was waiting down in the lobby for my downline to arrive, I got to meet some New Friends!!  It was so awesome as they were ALL 1st Time Convention Attendees!!!  After the picture, we of course did some swapping of our Convention Cards!!     So Awesome !!

Hopefully, I will have ALL of their names in the correct placement.  Here goes:
From the right is Marla Kimmel (from Okinawa, Japan), Joy Harriger (from Orlando), missing the next person's name, Kina Dennis (from Chicago), my downline Traci Schissel (from Minneapolis), and I was also missing the last person's name.  I do know that one of my missing names is Ann (from Orlando) but I'm not sure which missing one that is.  I received cards from most of them and I was missing a name on one of their cards.  If you ladies see this post and can help me out with my missing names, I can edit my post to include everyone's name.  Just click on my Email Me Button on the left sidebar.                Thank you !!

Now I met this lovely lady outside of our Hotel.  She had the most unique Nails !!  I had to take a picture as I am a BIG nails fan.  And she even did them herself, so I was very impressed with her work!! I forgot to ask her name, but I did let her know that I would be posting her picture.  So FUN!!


Here are my Convention Swap Cards:

This one uses the New Sweet Sadie Washi Tape, the Cupcake Builder Punch and the 

Modern Label Punch and the NEW Cupcake Party stamp set.

This one uses the following stamp sets:  Flower Shop, Petite Petals, Papillon Potpourri and A Dozen Thoughts.  4 Punches:  Elegant Butterfly, Pansy, Petite Petals and the Itty Bitty Accents.

                             This is one of my Favorite stamp sets - The Work of Art !!!
                                         So many possibilities with this stamp set.

Convention Gifts - Part 1 ( Continued )

Wow, it's been a very busy week!!  Attending Convention has been Amazing and so much FUN !!  So much going on and so many stamping friends to see.  Sign up and join me next year in Salt Lake City for Convention -  July 22nd - July 25th.  Best decision I ever made !!!  Just click the tab on my navigation bar at the top "Join The Fun" !!!  Hope to see you there !!

Here are the Convention Highlights from this YEAR'S Convention!!!
Just in case you need to actually see how much FUN you will have !!

So let's continue with some more Convention Gift shall we !!

I made these 2 years ago, so it was time to make some New Ones!!  Inside is a 2 Year Calendar to keep track of all your important Dates and Events.  This time I used the Flower Patch stamp set.  I just Love how they turned out!

                                             Here's a closer view above for you.


Next up I have my Swap card that I made for some very Special Friends !!

I CASED this card from the Stampin' Up Annual Catalog.  I so LOVE this stamp set.  I couldn't get my close up picture to rotate, sorry.


Next up is my Bag Tag that I made for this years Convention.

I used the "On Film"  Framelits to make the Bag Tag and then put the Convention Logo inside.  The Striped Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon is retired, but as I used Marina Mist cardstock so it was a must use.  Then I used the Baked Brown Sugar Bakers Twine to make my bow at the top.

This next idea I saw on Becky Robert's blog - Inking Idaho a while back.  I still had some calendars to use, so this was the perfect project for me to CREATE !!!   If you want to check out Becky's version just ( click here )

Here's the open view below:

I do have a few more gifts to share, so stop back to check them out!!

Stampin' Up Convention 2014 - Gifts part 1

Good Morning Everyone !!

Well it's that special time of year that all of us stampers wait for, It's the Stampin' Up Convention !!!!
If you've not been, then you all  are missing out on all the FUN and Friendships!  Love it !!!

I arrived yesterday in Salt Lake City and I can't wait to see all my stamping friends !!!
With an early arrival, I was busy finishing up on Convention Gifts for friends, downline and upline.

So I thought I would start with some of the Convention Gifts that I have made for this year.

First up, I made these 2 Special Friends Forever Frames for my roommates.  They are from My Paper Pumpkin monthly projects and I was able to order the refill kits from Stampin' Up to make them.

I added and changed up a couple of things from the original My Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used both the Heart outline and the solid heart that you would punch out.  Popped them up with dimensionals.   Then I used the 

Friends Who Know stamp set for the Friends Forever for the main greeting.  Added the Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a Baker's Twine bow.

Here's a couple close up pictures for you to look at.

Then you even get the perfect gift wrap too!

What more can you ask for!  Everything you need to make the perfect gift for any occasion.

I will be posting more of my Convention Gifts so be sure to stop back for some more ideas!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!   

Happy Stamping !!!
