Canadian Scrapbooker Carnival 2015

September 16, 2015

I have been a little busy…time to get back into routine. Last weekend we had the privilege of being one of the crafting vendors at the Canadian Scrapbooker Carnival 2015 in Edmonton, AB. If you’ve ever participated in an event like this, you know it is A LOT of work! But at the same time, SO MUCH FUN! Connecting with other crafters is always a highlight. Here’s a look at our booth…We focused on all the bundles and kits Stampin’ Up! has to offer. First off, when you purchase a designated bundle you save 15%. There are 17 bundles in the new Holiday Catalogue alone!! Check them out. And the kits make life so much simpler. You don’t have to do any cutting or prepping…just assemble!

If you want a real WOW factor for your Christmas Cards this year, you should try the To You and Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit. We sampled these at one of the Make ‘n Take Stations this weekend, and the ladies LOVED them! We sold out that hour.

I went straight from the Canadian Scrapbooker Carnival…to our Founder’s Circle Retreat in St. George, Utah. I will be sharing highlights of that this week. You will get to see some amazing Christmas cards after our swap tomorrow evening. We had to make 110 cards!!! Stay tuned.

Convention Highlights

July 28, 2015

Well the three days of Inspire.Create.Share 2015 was over in a blink of an eye. I will be sharing convention highlights in the coming days. We had an awesome time with friends…there were really great classes…and we had a sneak peek of the Holiday Catalogue coming out in September!

We had 8 from our team go down. [From left to right: Lorna Raczynski, Nicole Keef, Robyn Drummond, Sherry Roth, Heather Kariel, Danny Gruner, Donna Powell, and myself.]
The highlight of the first day was the Awards Night. I was so excited to hear that I am once again one of the top 20 demonstrators in Canada! What an honor!! Thank you to all my team members and customers for their faithful support and commitment to building a strong team.
Along with this evening came a little bit of sadness as our term on the Advisory Board came to a close. It has been an incredible year of growth for me personally and I’ve formed a special relationship with these ladies. Thank goodness we only have to wait until September to see each other again!

We were congratulated with a dozen roses when we were appointed to the Board last July, and Thursday evening we were thanked with a dozen roses as our term came to a close.
[The theme that night was the roaring 20’s…we don’t always dress up like that!]

We left SLC and drove to Wenatchee, Washington to stay with our close friends for a week. On Sunday we drove through 4 states! … Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Thank goodness Edgar likes to drive:) … and I like to sleep! On the times I did have my eyes open though, I saw such beautiful scenery. Like this lookout in Washington!I am still trying to process all I learned and the goals I have set for this next year…while still being on vacation. This morning I gathered a few of my goodies received by friends while I was there. I have the sweetest friends!! Today is Tuesday, so that means new Weekly Deals! If you are wanting any of these embellishments, you can either order online HERE or email me and I’ll include it in my next order.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
