Stampin' Up Convention!!!

Yeah! This week I am off to convention. Well not really "off" since I live in Utah and it is held at the convention center in salt lake. I don't even have to take off any work which makes my week quite long. I have been working the past few days on swaps. I broke out the new "in colors" and stamp sets.

I will start with the one I don't love.

The way to KNOW LIFE is to LOVE many things

-van gogh

this is the quote at the bottom of the card that is hard to read

stamps: Always and Dreams du Jour

ink: Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette, Tangerine Tango

paper: same as ink and confetti cream

also used cream taffeta ribbon.

And the one I love

"Kindness comes in many forms but always from the heart"

is the quote

stamps: Fabulous Flowers, Heard from the Heart, and Sanded background

ink: Baja Breeze, Bravo Burgundy, Not Quite Navy

paper: same as ink and whisper white, vellum paper

also used bravo burgundy and not quite navy ribbon and silver eyelets.

I am getting excited for convention. Kamille and I are going and we will be meeting so of the girls from our group. I will hopefully post lots of pictures when it is over. But for now, I have to work the next three days.

Scrapbook page from stamp club

summer scrapbook page

stamps: life's a breeze

ink: real red, yoyo yellow, green galore, tempting turquoise

paper: same as ink plus whisper white

My stamp club had some great ideas to my rather boring scrapbook page. They added the flip flops and life's a breeze stamp to the 4x6 sqare on the bottom left of the page, making it great for journaling and pics in the other squares.

More Stamp Club Projects

On Saturday I hosted stamp club at my house. I was a little disappointed at first, only 5 people came, but we ended up having a wonderful time. I thought the cards were cute but my scrapbook page was lacking. We have such a talented group that they all made their pages not lacking anything. I will have to use some of their ideas to spice mine up. Here are the cards, after my page looks a little better I will post that as well.



This is using unfroggetable (retiring set) stamp set, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Confetti Cream paper. Black ink on the frogs and "hoppy birthday" and Bashful Blue on the background of flowers that you can hardly see. I also used black gingham ribbon and celery organdy ribbon.



This is using fabulous flowers stamp set which I absolutely love. Purely pomegranite and soft sky (both retiring in colors), chocolate chip and whisper white paper. Purely pomegranite, soft sky and versa mark (on the chocolate chip paper. I stamped "dare to be fabulous" in soft sky, which you can barely see. And I used the chocolate chip ribbon that was offered in the winter mini but also in the theater ribbons originals pack. I love that ribbon.

Hope you like what you see both the cards are very simple but I turned out loving them.

Some Stamp Club Projects

So I am a little behind but here are a few projects I made for a stamp club in May. There is a Fathers Day card, a Just Because card, and a Photo Wallet that I cased. I thought they all turned out darling. Hope you think so as well.
