Stampin' Up! Convention 2015

I just got back from the Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah!!

We had so much fun!!

I can't wait to share everything I learned at convention with you at classes this month!!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these pictures from Convention.....

Stampin' Up! always creates beautiful banners to welcome us!!

Here's a peak at some of the crowd just before they opened the doors

on the first morning of convention.

I always love the displays that Stampin' Up! creates - these were huge billboard-sized displays above the convention Main Stage entrances.

Here we are... all ready for the 1st day of Convention to begin (with Stacie, Heather and Melissa, my roommates and fellow demonstrators)

These are pictures of the Main Stage before Convention began....

How about those awesome, larger-than-life flowers??

Here we are before the Awards Night began.
Stampin' Up! always creates fun photo-ops for us.....

One final picture of the stage and lots of fellow demonstrators waiting for the final day of Convention to begin - it always goes by so fast!!

I'll tell you a little secret... Want to know my favorite part about Convention?? We got our copy of the Holiday Catalog!!!! - we spent the first day at lunch perusing every page in detail!! I can't wait for you to see it!! (unfortunately, Stampin' Up "rules" say we can't share pics of any of the Holiday Catalog product until it goes live....). But, I can assure you... there are, as always!, so many fun, new things to play with!! The Holiday Catalog goes live on September 1 - it will be here before you know it!!

I'll leave you with a great video that Stampin' Up! created with highlights from Convention.... I even made the video (at about the 2 minute mark!), along with fellow Rubberqueens/Achievers, Melissa Roberts and Kim Vogel. And, just an FYI, the awards night was a 1920s theme - that might help explain all of the flapper dresses, headbands, and long strands of pearls!

I hope you have an Inkspired day!!

Stampin' Up! Leadership 2015 (Orlando, Florida)

These are just a few pictures from my recent trip to Orlando, Florida for our Stampin' Up Leadership Convention - we all had so much fun!!

Plus, it was 70 degrees and sunny - what more could you ask for??

On our first night in Orlando, we all got together for a wonderful dinner at a Cuban Restaurant - it was so good to chat with everyone before the Convention began.

Kim Vogel, Tamie Ackerson and Ronda Wade

Melissa Roberts and Cathy Williams

Vicki Restrainer, Lynn Schultz and Dawn Snowangel

Jenny Peterson and Sandi Dailey

here we all are!!

We went to see the show, Fantasmic, at Disney's Hollywood Studios for our Manager's Reception - it was a spectacular show with lights, water and lots of Disney characters (can you see Micky on top of the mountain??)

Here we are on Sunset Boulevard at Hollywood Studios...

A chalk artist drawing Olaf - she was so talented!

These are some of the display boards from Convention - it's always so nice to see the product up-close (especially when you don't own it all yet!)

Here's a peak at the large display boards in the convention center - there are just tons of ideas.....

We all huddle around the Product Playground areas to learn the tips and tricks for our new products. I think I finally learned how to use our new Fast Fuse!!

There was a great Paper Pumpkin display. We could even do a sneak-peek at the upcoming month's kits - I always enjoy the surprise, so I didn't peak!

Here are a few more displays - I love how big that flower is!!

This is my good friend (and room-mate at convention), Melissa Roberts - we were great room-mates, we both agreed!!

And, just look at that sun and all of those flowers!! It was gorgeous!!

I hope you enjoyed these pictures!!

I came back with so many fabulous stamping ideas - I can't wait to share them all with you in the coming weeks!!

Stay tuned!!

I hope you have an Inkspired day!!

Convention 2014 - Inspire. Create. Share.

Here are a few pictures from Convention....

I always think I have so many more pictures than I really do - I guess you can never have too many pictures!!

These pictures were taken in the Main Entrance Hall to the Convention Center.

Stampin' Up always does such a great job with their displays!!

Here we are with a few fellow Rubberqueens....
