Stampin' Up! Convention

I'm here in Salt Lake City, a few days before Convention starts. I am staying at one of our timeshares, and have already met another SU Demonstrator here at the Kimball. I am signed up for a couple of the Pre-Convention events being held by the Late Night Stampers. Can't wait!! Should be TONS of FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep an eye out on my blog for any updates from Convention and the Pre-Convention events.

Will post my Convention swaps soon. Don't want to let the cat out of the bag too soon!!!!!

Easter Snack Sacks

I made these little Easter Snacks Sacks for the people that work with my hubby. There is only one woman who works there, that's why there is only one pink one! I cased the idea of the bunny from a lady on Late Night Stampers, Barb Mullikin. Barb, I hope I spelt your last name right!! These bunnies were made with all punches except for the hand drawn whiskers and mouth. The bag topper is made using the Top Note die from Stampin' Up! used in the Big Shot. Boy do I love that tool!!!!

Late Night Stampers - RAK

Well...I am finally back again! My Mother-in-Law was here for Easter so I got absolutely nothing done!!!

I have joined a yahoo group called "Late Night Stampers". They are some of the sweetest and most talented ladies I've seen in a long time. I am so lucky to have a group that supports me the way this group does. About 2 weeks ago, it was an awful gloomy day here in the Florida panhandle with all the rain and thundertorms. I went to my mailbox late in the afternoon because the weather was just nasty. When I looked through my mail, I had gotten this card from Bev Penick, one of the ladies from LNS!! Isn't is just the greatest to get an uplifting card from someone you have never physically met before, but you have the love of stamping in common??? Thanks Bev!!!

LNStampers Challenge #9

Last Friday was my "Older" sisters 44th Wedding Anniversary. I had made her an anniversary card and then realized I had used the sketch that was posted on the Late Night Stampers Yahoo Group without realizing it. You know, you see something, a couple days later you decide you better get busy creating, next thing a ya know.....wha-la a nice card! I had decided to upload it for the challenge. Then I realized I had used a retired stamp set for the sentiment on the card and I disqualified my submission for the challenge. Gretchen, (one of the Design Team Leaders) had said "just change the sentiment and resubmit." Well...I had already mailed the card to my sister! I decided to make a new card, same colors and everything, just a different sentiment. Hope you like it! I really like these colors together. I didn't want something to "girly" since it was for a "couple".
