Recently, Stampin’ Up! has begun expanding it’s product offerings. These are items not included in the Idea Book & Catalog or Mini catalogs. It’s so hard to remember everything and I don’t want you to miss out on them, so I’ve put them up on my “Catalogs & Specials” page for you to see. There’s more than just the catalog to order from now!

What an exciting trip it was!!! Stampin’ Up! is an incredible company. We got SO many FREEBIES and great seminars. I was so impressed. I’ve gone to other Direct Sales conferences and I was really shocked of how much you get for your registration. I knew SU was the best when it came to it’s leaders, but I didn’t really realize how great they were until I attended this past weekend. I already booked my hotel for Convention!!!!!!
You know me as not being very “wordy” with my blog posts, but I feel I need to share some things with you.
Things I learned from Leadership:
1 – I will never do a “general” swap ever again. I was really disappointed with them – this is the 3rd time I’ve done them and I’ve never had a good outcome. Only a few were nice, but the majority were not.
2 – I will always do an organized swap. I did a 3 x 3 Love Notes swap with Barbara Welch and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS GORGEOUS!!!!! I could not believe it! I wanted to hug everyone of the swappers! I felt bad because I thought mine was the worse one! I will post those later this week. You will be amazed!!!!
3 – Stampers are the friendlies people! Everyone was so nice and friendly. I really didn’t start chatting with people at length until yesterday and I wished I did it earlier. I guess being from the northeast where we are known for being “cold”, I’ll have to practice being friendly before the convention! Oh, and I need to bring more business cards!
4 – I could have sworn it was a Thirty One Convention! I can’t tell you how many Thirty One bags were there!!!!
5 – Shelli Gardner is an amazing lady. She is so inspirational and genuine. It resonates to her family and staff as well. I wish I lived in Utah so I could work at SU.
6 – Lastly, I’ve never been more enthused and excited about my stampin’ business. I wish I could do it as my full-time job, maybe some day……
Thanks for listening.
Michelle
Me & Shelli- Crap, she’s older than me and I look like I’m ready for the old folks home! I’ll have to get a better picture at convention!

Today was the first “real” day of Leadership! It’s been a fun filled day general session, classes and Swaps! I did an organized swap of 3 x 3 note cards and got some awesome cards back!
Some great new products are coming as well. Great stuff for new stampers, so stay tuned!!
I also love all the great free stuff I got to play with!
Here are some sample boards I took pictures of,

This will be the “kid” friendly gift card holder we’ll be doing in February. This can be used for just about anyone, but I think kids will like it the best. I was glad to use Riding Hood Red card stock, haven’t used that for a while.
I’m still working on the rest of February’s projects. Stay tuned for more!!
Card Component
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight Card Stock, DSP Story Time
Tools: Owl Punch

Had a request to do some Birthday gift card holders, similar to the Christmas ones I did last month. So here it is! It’s a more masculine one. Got a request for masculine cards as well! Look for this in a class in January. I’ll do a kid gift card holder in February and a feminine one in March.
I also used some of the new paper coming out in the Spring Mini, Parkers Patterns. It’s a great pack of paper.

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. This time of year is so crazy!!!
Here’s a baby boy frame someone asked me to make. I had made others that are 3 rows of stamped images. I don’t have some of the stamp sets I used in my old baby frames so I had to design a new one using the new stamps I have. I actually like it with 2 rows instead of 3.
Enjoy!

I will be doing my last craft show of the season this Sat, Dec 1 at the Lexington High School, 251 Waltham Street, Lexington Mass. It’s run by The Best Buddies Association. It’s one of the best craft fairs around so if you can make it, I’ll be there 9:00 – 3:00. It’s a long day, but so worth it!
