How did today arrive so quietly? I am busy packing for Stampin' Up!'s National Convention in Sale Lake City, Utah.
Jay and I are headed out early, to enjoy the scenery and get some R&R before the excitement begins.
Stampin' Up!'s Convention is like a huge family reunion. This is my 16th convention. Along with the incentive trips, Leadership Conference and all the other travel I have done with this company, I have met some pretty amazing women. I can't wait to see them all.
This year Stampin' Up! offered free convention registration for new demonstrators, so there are many going to convention for the first time.
I am so blessed to have 28 going from my Stamping Family. Some of the ladies in my group I have never met in person, just over the internet, so can't wait to meet them.
One highlight of Convention is swapping take a look at what was being packed in my suitcase first. My swaps. Can't wait to bring all my swaps home to share with everyone.

Today starts two weeks of a very busy life. I know what some of you are thinking, my life is always in the fast lane, but more so the next couple of weeks.
This week starts our VBS Summer Program at my church, Lenox Christian Fellowship. I am teaching the older group. Do you know what that means? I must be on my toes with my lesson, as these kids know their Bible. I accepted the Lord at the same little country church during a VBS Program, so this outreach to the kids is VERY IMPORTANT to me.
I am also working on my swap cards for Stampin' Up!'s National Convention, as Jay & I will be attending that the week of July 14th. What do you think of one of my swap cards? Notice the strings for the stars. Watch for upcoming WOW Stamping Moment Video to show you how I did this.
Better yet if you our at Stampin' Up!'s National Convention look me up and sap with me. What fun awaits us.
Have you tried Stampin' Up!'s new Blendabilities Markers? Those of you that know me well know I always say "Didn't like to color as a child, and don't like to color as an adult"
Well I am here to say Stampin' Up!'s Blendabilities are changing my ways. I am loving to color, and the cool thing is, they are making me look like I understand watercolor techniques and highlighting with color.
So, now I want to share with you what I have learned with the Blendabilities during a Product Base Class in July. You will get your own Blendabilities as part of the class fee. You will want to click on the Blendabilities Product Base Class for all the details.
You must pre-pay for this class and let me know what you want for your additional color of Blendabilities Markers and what class you will be able to attend.. Come let me teach you what I have learned using these markers.
This card was created by a member of my Stamping Family Mary Ann Rossiter for a group Shoe Box Swap.
All the Blendabilites are not currently available so check out the colors available.
We are still in search of one Christmas Card Stamp Club Member who would like to make four Christmas Cards every month starting in July. This would mean you would have 24 cards all ready to send in December.
Best part, you would not have to design or cut one piece of cardstock. You only need to come to my stamp studio, make 4 cards each month, and place a minimum $25 order. And YOU get to be the hostess one time during that 6 month period.
Do you live in Northeast Ohio and would like to be part of this Christmas Card Club? Check out all the information on my calendar. If this missing club member is you let me know.
Not willing to commit to a club? No Problem you can come and make the cards each month for only $8, but you must RSVP a week ahead of time.
