More convention pictures

Thought I'd catch up with some more pictures from convention.....

This one was one more of the suites found in the New Idea Book and Catalog.  Its called Just Add Cake found on page 155. 

I thought this picture was appropriate since Stampin' Up! is running the special of the $99 starter kit.  You can see on the wagon it says "High Flyer Starter Kit".  You have until July 31 to take advantage of the discounted starter kit AND get the Keepsakes Box.  I realized that the stamp set you get with the Keepsakes Box is a stamp set out of the new Holiday Mini.  So what do you have to lose?? 

Donna and I headed over to Stampin' Up!'s headquarters in Riverton on Friday night.  Of course this is me by the SU! sign.  Love the mountains in the background.

Inside SU! has a museum of sorts.  Has their history in it along with some awesome displays.  This was one of them.  I would LOVE to have a craft room like this! 

Inside they also had this sweet shoppe dispay of all this candy and baked goods made out of paper.  Just amazing....

We also got to wander around some of the offices and this was a display by someone's desk.  Wouldn't it be fun to work there??

We got to see the distrubution center, look at all those stamps, glorious stamps!!!

And this is the Atrium when you first walk into SU! headquarters.  Its so serene and calming.  They have tables for their employees to eat lunch there.  Its just beautiful!

And to end my post today, 2 swaps that were gotten at convention.  I do not have these in my possession.  I snapped pictures of them from someone else.  So I do NOT know the artist.  If you are the artist please feel free to let me know.

Convention Day Three

Day three was just as amazing as day two!  Filled with swapping and classes and our brains being filled with so many ideas its hard to keep it all locked in!!  Oh, and I WON one of the prize patrols.  Its a stamp set and Designer Series Paper out of the upcoming Holiday Mini!!!  Sorry can't show it to you until after August 1 when I make something with it!  Edwin asked me if I slept with it that night!  Ummm no, but I did have to guard it from my roommates :0)

Stampin' Up! always does these amazing product displays so I thought I would share those with you.  If you haven't guessed by now.  The theme for this year was GROW.  They had this awesome main stage background.  And here's me in front of it.

This is from the Berry Blossoms Suite found on page 99 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  Hopefully you can click to enlarge the picture so you can get a better look.  Everything was just gorgeous!

I thought this display was so bright and fun.  Just made me want to go for a bike ride.  Products are from Big Top Suite found on page 62 of the Idea Book and Catalog.

Now this display belongs in my daughter, Sage's room.  She's a girly girl through and through and she LOVES pink and purple.  This display is from the Flirtatious Suite found on page 126 of the Idea Book and Catalog.

You Halloween lovers are going to love this!  It kind of makes you wish for fall......well almost.  This display is from the Frightful Sight Suite found on page 22 of the Idea Book and Catalog.

And look at this charming Letters to Santa display.  Santa actually did pay some of us a visit at convention...but you'll have to wait for the new Holiday Mini to see that.  .. But the products pictured below can be found on page 30 in the Letters to Santa Suite.

Convention Day Two

I know, I know you are wondering what happened to day one??

Well, I didn't get to SLC until after 8:30pm and really there is nothing to tell.  Other than my roommates, who took pity on me and brought me dinner back from the Olive Garden as I got to the hotel just as they finished up dinner.
And of course staying up WAY too late finishing up swaps and yapping!

My two roommates are Sandy Kanapilly and Donna Marcil.  Sandy and I have roomed together forever and are just two little peas in a pod.  And this is Donna's first convention and its been so fun to see it through the eyes of a newbie!!

Sandy is on the left, Donna in the middle and of course me!  I forgot my hairbrush and I didn't have my own hairspray or mousse, so I was winging it!!  YIKES. 

We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant called Christophers.  I don't get to eat often at "real" restaurants so it was truly a treat.

Awards night was on Day Two.  I haven't gone to one in awhile and was glad that I did.  One of my tablemates from the Alaskan Cruise, Missy Shipman, was named to Stampin' Up!'s Advisory Board.  WOW, I'm so happy for her and its such an amazing honor to be picked.  TRULY, Stampin' Up! couldn't have picked a better person!  Congratulations Missy! 

My other tablemate, Tammi Oakley, was named #23 Demonstrator of the Year!  I was truly sitting among the stars on our cruise.  I can't wait to pick her brain at Leadership as we'll be roommates this coming year!  YIPEE FOR ME!

I also had another one of my friends, LeeAnn Greff #43 (I think so many numbers to remember) Demonstrator of the Year!  We had eaten dinner with her at Christophers that night and we had ear to ear grins for her.  Congratulations LeeAnn!  You ROCK!!

Stampin' Up! truly spoils their demonstrators and I'm proud AND humbled to be among their friends.  They truly amaze and inspire me.

Stampin' Up! was mixing things up a little this year and had a fun little after party.  There was dancing and deserts.  And I HAD to share this picture of Donna.  She's a techno geck.  She's dancing the Electric Slide at the after party but can you really see what she's doing???   Yes, she is dancing but she's also texting!!

These swaps are my friend LeeAnn Greff's.  Aren't they beautiful?  I love the different colors.  You can't see it too well, but the brad in the middle is the polka dot brads we now sell with the new 2011-2013 In Colors.
