New Super Awesome Stampers Team Member!

welcome-sw-3-2017-001

Sherrie has enjoyed creating with Stampin’ Up! products for years. She knows that a good scrapbook page is priceless. She enjoys using all the extra pieces in the Paper Pumpkin kits on alternate projects. Signing up during Sale-a-bration allowed her to pick 2 additional stamp sets of her choice, compliments of Stampin’ Up! She will also get demo support from me if she opts to take advantage of what I offer as her upline.

Welcome Sherrie! Looking forward to seeing what you create with your starter kit supplies!

P.S. If you have questions about being a demonstrator and what I offer for support, please ask! I can answer questions via email or phone call.

Valentine’s Made Easy

I needed to assemble lots of valentine’s party favors for my visits to senior living communities. The Adorning Arrows Paper Pumpkin comes to the rescue! Supplies for 24 boxes were included in this kit. Watch the quick How To video here:

Since February is a popular month for senior living visits, I needed quite a few more party favors so I went looking through my Paper Pumpkin past kit stash of leftover supplies and found what I needed to create the rest of the party favors.

Quick and cute! Stamped the verse on the die cut banner, stapled it and the candy to the die cut heart and done!

The next favor combined cone bags from last year’s Spring catalog with Sending Love designer series paper and bits from a few different products. The folded bag end adds another layer of interest.

Last favor was assembled almost as intended. The pink baker’s twine was suppose to be a bow but I decided to make it easy for me and used a length instead to add interest.

Paper Pumpkin is on sale during Sale-a-bration! Get the full details at my website under the Paper Pumpkin section. I love getting a monthly kit in my snail mail box that just needs stamping and assembly. You would too!

Happy Stampin!

P.S. Your eyes did not fail you. I did have a Saturday session scheduled and other plans for the day. I decided to attend the #WomensMarchonMadison instead. Would you like to join me there?

If January 19th does not fit your schedule for a card buffet, remember, we can find a time that works for you since my schedule is flexible as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I can even travel with a mini buffet to you and your friends. Just ask!

#Onstage 2016 Celebrating You!

What a whirl of a weekend while Stampin’ Up! was in town for Onstage 2016 convention! I’ll share highlights in this post and then add more details thoughout this week.

Our convention bag is always a fun way to start the event. Inside are brand new products for the spring catalog and our name tag. Shhh…don’t tell SU, but I think I was most looking forward to the name tag because the one I was using was looking a little worn! The name tag is even laminated!

Let’s back up a few hours prior to getting the convention bag. I was selected as a display stamper. Here I am with my samples on the top part of the board using real red, old olive and delightful dijon. It was fun to receive a box of brand new supplies to play with. I had to keep the products and projects top secret until they were revealed at Onstage. My Mom did not even get a sneak peek!

Friday night was pampering and learning for leadership called Centre Stage. I have a team of Super Awesome Stampers so I qualified for this free event! Yahoo!

The tables for Saturday’s all demonstrator event looked a little different with gifts for my downline and supplies for the make-n-takes!

My team that attended Onstage! Kay is top left, my sister Tricia is top right, then me and Andrea seated next to me.

Although the value of the training, make-n-takes and product give-aways are worth the registration fee, all of my team earned this day for free! Super Awesome! Let me know if you want to attend Onstage 2017 in April in the Twin Cities. I’ll help you earn it for free!

Check back this week for more Onstage photos and sneak peeks at the spring Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure!

But you don’t have to wait to see more…Andrea has shared on her blog too! Click below to “hop” to her blog!
