Stampin' UP! Convention 2013 -Riverton Home Office

Day one started off with a tour of the Riverton Stampin' UP! Home office!  What fun to see behind the scenes.  What a beautiful campus.

This is my team members from left to right Debbie Green, Karel Standish and me.  We are waiting for the bus to take us to Riverton for the tour. 

 Below is Karel standing in the Atrium in front of the water fall. It is so beautiful. If I liked cold weather I would love to work there but........... I am a warm weather girl.

Debbie in the same spot!

Same spot for me!

This is a cute banner across the second floor.

Below is the warehouse where they pick your products before they go to UPS and Mr. Brown deliveries them to you.

One of my favorite parts of the tour is the Legacy room where they have vignettes to showcase our products in home decor'.  Here are a few ideas for you to try. 

I have an old lampshade that I want to punch some flowers and glue dot them to the shade to freshen it up. I will post that when I get around to making it.  :)

Ok this should give you a little glimpse of the possibilities you can make (not just cards).

Blessings,

Stampin UP Convention continued

First day we were in Salt Lake City the convention had not actually started but we had things planned. 

After taking tours of the city and shopping some of the North Carolina Demos ( a Yahoo group) met for dinner at the Olive Garden for fellowship and of course a card swap and we shared ideas also. Some of us have been friends for over 10 years and we meet several times a year to stamp together and to share ideas with one another.

This is my swap card for the NCDEMO group.  I love using washi tape 

and this was a fun easy card to make.

After dinner I was scheduled for yet another swap a WOW swap from Stampers Xpress sponsored by Kelly Gettlefinger.  There was 2 groups of 20 to swap and it was fun to get new wow ideas.

Below is Kelly our swap hostess.  This was my first time to meet Kelly in person and it was so cool because when you see her post each week and we exchange emails you finally get to meet. Everyone was so nice.

This is my card for the wow card swap and you can see the pieces as I was working on it.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a wonderful week.

Stampin Up! Convention 2013

I arrived here yesterday after a crazy plane ride. After being diverted on my first leg of the trip from West Palm Beach to Detroit by way of Orlando. On the jet way to the terminal we were met by 2 green firetrucks. Ummm scary thought, they decided we could get off the plane and on my way out the door I heard the pilot say there was smoke in the cockpit! We had to reschedule our flight.  Good thing for me I got a direct flight to Salt Lake City.  I even got in 45 min earlier. 

NOTE: This is the first time I am trying blogging from my phone, so bear with me.  I thought I would share some photos with you.

This is Beth, Brook and me at Outback at the Orlando airport.  We were seat mates from West Palm Beach. 

Having breakfast with Carol and Carol they are demos from Maryland. We met at Leadership conference in Nashville in a snow storm a couple of years ago!

Carol and Carol  and me waiting for the Trax to take us to Walmart to get supplies.

One of the banners around the convention center. My favorite color of course.
