Aren’t these flowers CUTE??? There were many displays around the convention and this one really caught my eye. Who knew you could make something so adorable with buttons!
This next picture shows Main Stage. The word GROW would continually change and be a different color. It was huge and very striking. This is where we would go for General Sessions with all of the demonstrators. The theme this year is GROW and many of the displays show gardening tools, plants, flowers, etc.
This last picture is of Dawn Griffith (my upline) and I. I met Dawn and her very nice husband on the first day of convention (we live in different parts of the US).
Thanks for stopping by! I will post more pictures tomorrow!

I just returned from attending my first Stampin’ Up! convention in Utah! What a wonderful, exciting experience! I can’t wait to go again next year! Each first year attendee received this green pin. The convention was a fun, filled four days. I took many pictures and I will post some in the next few days. I also participated in three swaps and I will post some of those as well. I made 180 cards and boy, was it a bit stressful making that many but I wish I had made more! Everyone was swapping cards right and left. I felt pretty good about making as many as I did but at the airport one gal told me she made NINE HUNDRED. Oh my.
Stampin’ Up! really knows how to put on a good convention. I received many free stamp sets and so many great ideas. I am off to download all of my pictures (at least a thousand) to my computer! Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a sneak peek of a stamp set in the new 2011-2012 Catalog that goes live on July 1st. This set is called Cherish Friendship and it comes with two other cute stamps. I love cherries at this time of year so I was drawn to this set. I colored it in using my Watercolor pencils and blender pen. My sentiment is from a current set called Fabulous Phrases. I’ve had Fabulous Phrases for a while but just started using it recently. There are 30 different words that can be used. I think it is becoming a favorite of mine! Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it!

For my card today I used the new Postage Stamp punch in the Summer Mini on page 10 and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch on page 6. The colors in my card were inspired by a Vera Bradley bag that I have. I love purple, blue and green together. The new Blossom Bouquet punch is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways! Thanks so much for stopping by. If you would like to place an order, please email me by clicking the button on the top right!

I am finally on vacation and have time to post cards that I’ve done over the past month! I made this card for my Hostess Club meeting on Thursday. I used the stamp set Flower Fest from the current mini catalog. I stamped the flowers with Versamark and then used white embossing powder. Using my sponge dauber I added Regal Rose to the center. I am really happy with the way it turned out! I’m looking forward to making the card with different colors and the other flowers that come in the set. Another reason to love this set is that many of the shapes have a coordinating punch! It makes the card very easy to put together. Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
