I’m still thinking about my fun time at Convention this year! Life has been so busy that I haven’t even had time to look at all of my great swaps and take pictures to share with you! I took this picture at the Stampin’ Up! home office. It is a pretty decoration using our card stock. So clever!!! Have a great day and I will start taking pictures of my swaps!!
Another picture of my friend, Kristina, and I.

I am home from Convention. I flew home Sunday morning and met quite a few demonstrators at the airport. I had a very enjoyable flight home! I missed my husband while I was gone and it was so nice to see him when he picked me up at the airport. He’s been very patient listening to all of my Convention stories!
Today I have another 3×3 card that I made for a swap that I was in. I love this balloon paper! Did you know that it is on sale this month? If you buy three packs of select DSP packs, you get the fourth one free! Great time to stock up!! The sale only lasts until the end of this month!

Yesterday was a jam packed day and today will be the same! I didn’t take many pictures yesterday but I have another swap card that I made and a picture of my friend Kristina and I at the home office! Thanks for stopping by!
Convention starts today and it’s a jam packed day! Here’s another one of the swaps I made! The elephant is so cute and the little pearl on his eye makes him come alive (although I’ll admit it doesn’t show up well in the picture). I stamped his ear in Strawberry Slush, cut it out and popped it up with a dimensional. I hope to have lots of pictures to show tomorrow. Have a great day!
I’m heading to Salt Lake City in just a few hours! I will be joining 5,800 demonstrators from all over the world for the Stampin’ Up! 25th Anniversary Convention! Can’t wait! Here’s a 3×3 card that I made for one of my swaps. I made 81 of these and will be receiving 80 of them in return tomorrow!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Life has been so darn busy the last few weeks. Tomorrow I leave for the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Salt Lake City. I’ve been busy for weeks making cards to swap with other demonstrators. I’m in four organized swaps, which are finished, bagged up and in my carry-on bag. I have a few more to finish up to swap with others outside of the organized ones. I’ll share my swaps with you over the next few days as well as some pictures once the convention begins. There are always so many displays and great ideas! I’m looking forward to seeing my friend, Kristina, in Salt Lake City tomorrow! She lives in Kansas and I last saw her a year ago at Convention. I am very much looking forward to catching up with her although we email each other on a regular basis. It is different actually seeing someone in person. I can’t wait! I’m off to go pack!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll leave you with a video by Stampin’ Up that will tell you all about our wonderful embossing folders — one of my favorite products!

Hi Friends!
I’m not sure what you call this type of card but when opened up, there’s a pocket for a gift card. I don’t know about you but I give a lot of gift cards. This gift card holder is pretty quick to make and it fits inside a regular sized envelope! How perfect is that??
I’ve used one of the Designer Series Papers on sale this month, Birthday Basics. If you buy 3 packs, you get one free! You can choose from 11 different packages!
Birthday Basics # 130145 $10.95
I also used one of our new Framelits, the Circles Collection and my Magnetic Platform for the sentiment. I stamped it first and then placed my circle exactly where I wanted it using the magnetic platform. I LOVE this new tool, no more post its!

My poor neglected blog. The past two weeks have just been so busy. I’ve been out of town and I usually try to schedule my posts ahead of time but it just didn’t happen this time around.
I thought I would share these pictures with you. My daughter and son-in-law told us they were pregnant by presenting us with this cute I Love Grandma and Grandpa shirt in January 2012. Our sweet granddaughter is 9 months old and we now have a picture of the shirt AND the baby!!
