Leadership 2010 Highlights and Ideas

What a fabulous time I had at Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Phoenix AZ.

The weather was outstanding and so were the memories!

The conference center is absolutely beautiful.... and huge!

We learned so many new ideas, and many of which you will be able to see in the months to come, both here online, and at upcoming classes and workshops.
This is a fun idea shown by Pam Morgan using the new Sweet Pea Felt Flowers... aren't they fabulous!  You can use them on everything... this is a fun wrist band, which can also be used as a head band....

And here they are used on some sweet little notecard invitations!

Here are a few pics of me and my friends.... we were truly spoiled!

This is my outstanding and amazing upline Janet Wakeland.  She is truly a beautiful person and I am so blessed to have her in my life.  Jan is from Pennsylvania, so when I get to spend time with her it is truly a cherished moment!

Ooooooo, this ws so fun!  We had just learned some amazing ways to use our Big Shot for quilt making and guess what Stampin' Up! did!  They gave us all our very own Quilt Square, made by Stampin' Up! employees!  This was a real treat!!! On the left is my good friend Cathy Worrell and on the right is Debbie Bartak, one of the amazing ladies in my DYEnamINK Stampers group. (Shhhh we also got a FREE STAMP SET from the next mini coming out in May!)

Everyone who was a Manager or above was treated to a very special evening.... A Mexican Rodeo and Fiesta!  Here is a group of my friends that I enjoyed spending the evening with!  The night was complete with homemade salsa and appetizers, as well as maracas, mariachi band, bull riding and an outstanding dinner.  We also got a FREE STAMP SET!

I belong to an online demonstrator prayer group.  These ladies are so special to me!  We share our prayer requests and are just there to love and support one another.  Here is just a few of the ladies in this group.  We got together for a few minutes to swap and meet each other face to face... that was so nice!

And here are a few photos of demonstrations and displays that we got to see.

This quilt was made with fabric cut with out big shot!  You are going to want to talk to me about how EASY it is to do this!

One of the best things about what I do is the ability to travel, especially with so many wonderful friends.

I'd love to have you join me!  If you've ever thought about what it might be like to do what I do, I'd love to share more about it with you!

Let's talk and have coffee :)

Scrapbook In TWO HOURS.... Unbelievable!!!

I am NOT the scrapbooking queen, mind you, but I feel like one today! I completed a 9x9 scrapbook in just 2 hours. It's a gift for my nephew Andrew and his soon to be wife Amanda. They are getting married next month, and I am unable to attend the wedding in Florida :( so I wanted to make them a special gift. Here's what I came up with in just 2 hours!

This is the cover made from our On Board Book Basics... which I've now run out of! WHY the H you say? Because their last name is Hergenreder... that's my maiden name! I know you can't pronounce it (and I loved having such a unique name, but admit Oliver is much easier to write!)

I used the Tie The Knot Simply Scrappin' Kit, and the 'h' is a sticky cut letter with the fabulous fine cosmo glitter. LOTS of ribbon on my coil binding with the INCREDIBLE BIND-IT-ALL machine!!! Gotta love that little gizmo!

Here are the pages.... I kept them rather simple so she could add as many photos as she wanted. I've never met Amanda, so I am hoping she like handmade gifts.... WHO AM I KIDDING!!!! She is going to LOVE it.... Duh.... Everyone HAS to love SU! handmade gifts. What was I thinking!

Ok, so, what do you think? I think I need to redo my wedding album! It was the FIRST album I did when I began scrapbooking.... and you KNOW what your first projects end up looking like! YIKES.... Another dumb moment!

Thanks for looking today!

On-Board Book Basics Scrapbook

OOOHHHH... I just LOVE my new Bind-It-All machine! It is so awesome to create mini books out of everything and anything!

Here is a scrapook I created using our small book basics (chipboard pieces to make covers and such) and the Summer Days Simply Scrappin' Kit! How simple is this!!!!

Here is a sneak peak at some of the pages:

This is a side view of my completed album.

You can create fun pockets and tags.... these are always a hit when people look through your mini book.
How about adding envelopes to create fun pockets and pullouts? You can add all sorts of things when you bind it yourself!

Aren't these little books fun fun fun!!!?? And the cool think is, you can get 2 books from one Simply Scrappin' Kit and 1 pack of the book basics!

Who's interested in a 'kit in the mail' with this project? Leave me a comment, and if there's interest, I'll work up a kit offer!!!
