I’m back from Convention and had a wonderful time!  I was so happy that my friend, Kristina, attended again this year.  She came with her daughter, Amber, and one of her downline, Delphine, both whom I had not met before.  We enjoyed many meals together and laughed and laughed.  These three women made my Convention such a memorable experience.

Kristina and I were able to walk on stage together!! Stampin’ Up! recognizes demonstrators who have reached 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, or 25-year milestone anniversaries with a walk across Main Stage.   It’s my 5th anniversary and Kristina’s 10th!  I am so glad that I was able to share that moment with Kristina!

I participated in a WOW Swap and this is the card I made.  My focal point is the flower from Blended Bloom.  I embossed it with white embossing powder on our vellum.  I turned it over and on the backside, I used my sponge daubers and stamp pads to color it (I used Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss). I used our new BEAUTIFUL Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper underneath my greeting.  It is really hard to see how it sparkles in the picture but it really does in person!

The greeting comes from the set And Many More.  This is an awesome set!!  (If you click on the pictures below, you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! store and you can see an enlarged picture of the set).
