STAMPING WITH LINDA

Stamp Retreat Northeast Ohio/Northwestern PA

Calling all stampers join us for a weekend of stamping fun in Northeast Ohio/Northwestern PA at Camp Judson in North Springfield PA.

This is a beautiful Christian Camp right by the beautiful shores of Lake Erie.  Our Stamping Room over looks the lake with breath taking sunsets.

This is a retreat I do for my Stampin' Up! Family of Demonstrators and I rent the whole camp each year.  I have a couple of openings if you are interested.  Don't need to be a demonstrator come enjoy the weekend with us.

It will be held on August 15-17 with all your meals and stamp projects included in your fee of $175.  This is my seventh year of doing this retreat.  I promise you lots of friendship, food, and of course stamping.

Click on my calendar for all the details.

Can't make this weekend, no problem watch for details, as I will be doing another one in October and in April.

Inspire, Create & Share

This year at the Inspire, Create, Share Convention I hit some big milestones.  I have been a demonstrator for 17 years and this year I earned my 17 incentive trip.

It is so hard for me to believe all because of rubber and ink.  I told Jay when I signed  up it would only be 3 months.  I would have all the stamps and supplies I would need at a discount and I would be done.

Well 17 years later I hear no complaints by him that I am still a demonstrator.  Next spring we will head to Hawaii for the third time thanks to SU!

Before Convention 5 members of my downline Tammy Clarke, Judy Goodyear, Debbie Sloan, Mary Ann Rossiter and Dianne Arazy joined Jay & I on a trip to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.

I was honored on stage for my $800,000 milestone in personal sales by Shelli Gardner.  There were three other demosntrator who earned this award, Patty Bennett, Karen Duke, and Joanne Weimer.

After convention I had a pizza party for my gals.  We ate laugh and shared our card swaps.

One amazing group of women, thanks for the memories.

Here are this week's stamp deals.  Get them before they are gone.

Busy Swapping

This evening is the big moment when we can pick up our Convention Bag, and start to get a glimpse on SU!'s National Convention.

I am really hoping to share some of that event with you through some posts if I have internet service and time.  When you get thousands of stampers together there is so much sharing and fellowship going on some times the day just passes me by.

I wanted to share one of the styles of cards I am swapping.  I wanted to showcase the new blendabilities.  I still can't believe "Me" the person who doesn't like to color, did over a 100 card swaps that needed colored.  So love the richness of these markers.

Do you have your new Blendabilites yet?  If not you are missing out.  You may have alcohol base markers, but SU!'s are exclusive colors.  They take the guess work out of color choices.  Order Yours Today
