Three more beautiful cards ...

Today's birthday cards all come from three of my downline.  The first uses some bold, bright patterns of color - and I especially love how the Black circle pops the greeting!  This beauty was made by Jean B.

The second one comes from Jeri - and I love it!  It's from the Watercolor Wishes card kits.  Our card kits make it so easy for you to make a bunch of lovely cards in no time at all - and this is a great example.

My final card today if from Kathy B.  This flower is no longer available - although when it was it was a favorite of mine - and she knows my favorite color is yellow.  We have several current flower in the catalog that could be used to duplicate this look.  So pretty with a wink of glimmer!

I received so many amazing birthday cards this year - and hope you can use them as inspiration - more to come so stop by soon!  ~Maureen

Final Convention Round-up

So today I'll share the rest of my Convention memories - it was such a fun experience.  First off my lanyard and name tag at check in time!

A view of just a few of the stampers there from the escalator.

Main stage where all of the general sessions were held - they always decorate it so beautifully.

The unveiling of the new Holiday catalog - I placed my pre-order today and there was sooooo much stuff I wanted, but I was able to real myself in a bit and start slow - mostly things for my Halloween projects for now.

 

A couple of the cute little projects we were able to make and get our hands on some of the new product.

Our Crazy Stamping Ladies' Group -

 

Diane, Toni, Xandra, Jeri, myself and Heidi!

A fun Paper Pumpkin promotion set we were able to purchase.

A special leadership/years of service award full of stamping goodies.

Our annual end of convention dinner at PF Chang's with a couple friends.

And when I got home - this was my haul - actually there are even things missing.  It was really an amazing time - the final convention as we know it.  From now on it will be semi-annual OnStage events held all over the world - so I am glad I was able to attend this one in Salt Lake City.

Stop back soon.  Stampingly, Maureen

Then they announced that 25 LUCKY ladies - who had not yet gotten a prize would receive this - Every stamp set in the Holiday Catalog!

And our very own Kathy B was one of those lucky 25!!!  It was her first convention and what a high note to end it on!

Can you see how excited she was - and we all were for her?!?

Since they were going to ship the stamps to their homes - they each got this great hand made card congratulating them.   What a sweet keepsake.

What a fun and exciting convention for all of us.  If you'd like to join my team and join us at Convention next year - just let me know!!  I'd be happy to discuss all the possibilities!!  ~Maureen

My 13 Year Stampin' Up! Anniversary

I cannot believe that yesterday was my 13th anniversary of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I went to my first SU workshop a week before joining - fell in love with the product - signed up just to get and pay for my demonstrator kit - and the rest is history! I fell in love with the company, the customers, the FUN!! I hope to be stamping for many, many years to come.

Here are two congrats cards I received -

The first one is from Toni - wish I had that figure :)
The second is from Jeri - that DSP sooo reminds me of vintagey wall-paper.
Thanks ladies for thinking of me!
