Wetlands ~ pretty swaps

Wetlands 3

Here is another swap from convention.  This one uses Wetlands and the new stamp set, Work of Art, for the background.  I don't swap a lot but I do always sign up for two swaps with SUDSOL.  What's that?  SUDSOL stands for Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing OnLine and is a super resource for demonstrators ~ providing creative and business ideas consistently.  If you are a demonstrator check out the organization ~ www.sudsol.org ~ AND, you can sign up for a two-week free trial.

Convention extension.....

During convention one of the most popular activities is Make & Takes!  What's a Make & Take?  Stampin' Up! supplies all the materials needed, cut and ready to use, and the project idea.  It gives us new ideas to use when we get home.  I rarely finish, or even start, my projects at Stampin' Up! events as it seems to me to be too many other things to do.  Marion Swaim and I roomed together at the lovely Little America Hotel in Salt Lake.  We made a pact that we would get together at home and FINISH our M & T's!  We did it!!!  Saturday afternoon we sat down and finished them so I thougth I would show them to you.  What do you think?

Southern Stars Shoe Box Swap

Yesterday morning several of my team members (Southern Stars) arrived in the Cat/Art Studio along with everything they needed for a SHOE BOX SWAP.  So, why would we swap shoe boxes?  Just a saying ~ what we were really doing was stamping ~ of course!  Each person prepared a card that everyone could make and it was so much fun.  I thought you would want to see the cards we made ~

Paper Pumpkin extended......

Paper Pumpkin July 2014 box

July's PAPER PUMPKIN arrived while I was in Salt Lake City so I opened my orange box this week and treated one of my stamp clubs to the goodies inside the box.  The kit included a stamp set, a Stampin' Spot, 6 card bases, 6 printed boxes and all of the accessories to make some pretty cute cards and boxes ~ with extra goodies left over.

Paper Pumpkin Sara's notecards 2014

Shelli's daughter, Sara, presented at convention and one of her projects was this month's PP Kit.  Above, she took the top off of the box, cut the cards in half and decorated them to make cute tags.  A super little gift!

And, she changed the card to show that all of us can extend the use of these kits beyond the original instructons in the PP box.

Last night was THIRD THURSDAY STAMP CLASS in the Cat/Art Studio and the theme was CHRISTMAS IN JULY ~ very timely as it was exactly 5 months until Christmas Eve.  This class is designed for everyone to make six cards ~ 2 each of 3 designs ~ so I thought I would share them with you.  And, in addition, my newest Southern Star, Debbie, was in class last night ~ YEA DEBBIE!

Bitty Banners on sale this week.....

Bitty Banners and Flower Shop

I found this pretty card on Stampin' Connection this morning and thought it might be good to share it with you.  Stampin' Up! demonstrators never run out of inspiration/ideas for cards, 3-D projects, home decor or memory keeping (Project Life)!  Why?  Because there is a gallery of wonderful samples on the demonstrator website.  It is just fantastic, like this pretty card by Beth Adams.  So, if you need some new ideas think about becoming a demonstrator ~ it is the most economical path to creativity and a fabulous way to share what you love to do!  Now, for this weeks sale.................

SU SALE July 22-28
