I'm at Convention!!!

I'm here! It's 3 am here...yikes...I'll pay for this later...."must have coffee!"

I have seen lots of ladies I know here, but I'm sure I'll see more during the week. I was even spotted by few that recognized me from my blog...too fun! I just swapped out the rest of my card fronts tonight...I'm going home with over 100 swaps...yippee! I can't wait to share some next week...sorry...not able to post photos here.

Today my 2 downlines and I got to take a tour of the Stampin' Up! headquarters...AMAZING! I was blown away by the enormous room where all the packing of products takes place...forklifts, long conveyor belts, tons of boxes, etc. All the employees were very nice.

I get to take a class with Jaron tomorrow! (My favorite SU! employee) He was passing out bags yeterday, so of course I jumped in his line and took a picture with him...of course I'll post that!

Today I got to the convention center at about 7:15 am...thinking the door for the Momento Mall would be opening at 8...they opened at 9! lol Oh well...we were the first group to go shopping...I'm sooo excited about the adorable crop/tote bag I got, as well as the adorable demonstrator apron that is designed with the Bella Rose pattern!!!

OK....better go take a nap before tomorrow...well...really today!

Adios!

I'm off to the airport, heading to the Stampin' Up! Convention, in less than 1 hour! I put a yellow eyelet in my fingernail, which is painted red. :)

I can't wait to share projects and fantastic ideas with you when I return. I'll be back on Sunday! :)

Pizza Delivery!

I made three designs of the pizza boxes. Each one has 3 cards (3"x3") & 3 mini envelopes.

Another Pizza Box!

I'm having too much fun with these Pizza Boxes! I used the Bella Rose paper again for this project. Can't wait to see all the other beautiful papers that'll be in the new catalog!!! In just 3 more days I'll be in Salt Lake City...yippee!

I may have to do this project with my "Terrific Techniquers" Club in August.

Pizza Box w/ Bella Rose Paper

I have been seeing more of these "pizza boxes" everywhere lately, so I decided to make one...they are very easy. I made matching cards to go inside as well. These are special gifts I'm bringing to Convention.
I used the new Scallop Edge Punch to create the scallops and rick rack...too fun! I also decided to lilne the bottom of the box with the Designer Paper...I LOVE this paper...."must have more."

Convention Swaps!!!

Yay...I'm done with my first batch of convention swaps...50 done!!! I'm *hoping* to do another batch of 50 with the same layout, but a differnt color combo.

It is quite amazing how quickly you can get a perfect scallop edge with the *new* Scallop Edge Punch. I precut my chocolate chip cardstock to strips of 5 1/2"x1" and then punched.

I think these colors would be so cute for a baby girl theme as well.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Party Hearty (coming in August)
Cardstock:Whisper White, Choc. Chip, Pink Piroutte, Kiwi Kiss Ink: Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Piroutte Accessories: White Ribbon, Dimensionals, Punches: 1" Circle, Scallop Circle, Scallop Edge,
