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 :)

RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour - Day 3

Hello! And welcome to the FINAL DAY of the Love Tour!  (You will want to come back tomorrow to see a TOTALLY AMAZING NEW PROJECT I am posting... so book mark me!)

This is absolutely my favoritist project of all time.... I dug it out from my bag of goodies specifically for this tour!  And, I am posting HOW TO do it as well!

What do you think this fabulous little cutie could hold.... Hmmmmmm, Let me see....

2 GHIRADELLI CHOCOLATES---YUM!

I know, I know..... You MUST make one, right???  Well, I am so excited to say this is an OLIVER ORIGINAL and I am sharing the pattern with you... :)  Click image to make pattern larger.

Using the pattern above as your guide, here are the steps.

Begin with 4” x 6” DSP.

Insert paper into cutter with 4” side along top. Score 1/2” from each side.
Turn and score at 2”, 2-1/2“ , 4-1/2“ and 5”.
Cut along bold solid lines where indicated.
Apply sticky strip on flaps A and between 1/2" scores as shown.
Here is how your scored, cut and sticky stripped paper will look....

Fold in flaps B, then flaps C and stick flaps A to flaps C to create box.

Punch a hole in front flap using larger punch on crop-a-dile.

Close lid and use a pencil to make mark a spot on front of tote to punch for brad.

Punch hole with 1/16” punch and secure brad. Your brad should line up with the hole you punched on the flap. Insert brad through hole on flap to close.

Apply ends of ribbon to center of sticky strip to create your handle.

Insert chocolates and close by inserting brad through the hole on the flap.... and decorate!

For this project I used the NEW Sending Love Designer Series Paper and With All My Heart Stamp Set.  I used real red and pretty in pink ink, and pretty in pink taffeta ribbon.

I hope you have enjoyed your stop at my blog for this LOVE tour!  Make sure to come and see me tomorrow too!
