This is the entrance way to Stampin` Up! Headquarters in Riverton, Utah. Bernice, Jenny and myself. 

Inside headquarters.. isn't it pretty?

We stopped in Highland Utah, to a beautiful boutique called Dear Lizzie.. a MUST if you are in the area. 

Jenny made Founder's Circle. Congrats girl!!! Woohoo!

I am............ so excited to be at Convention 2012, with wonderful women!

I was able to enjoy project showcase.. flowers are all the rage right now and I came home with so many awesome creative ideas! :) 

Mandy, Jenny, myself and Bernice at the front of the stage.

A sweet way to end the event.. with warm cookies at the Gateway Mall, and shopping with great friends!

It was a wonderful experience. Time flew by way too fast, and I cannot wait to return next year. Thank you for letting me share this with you all.

Where have I been?

I'm so sorry for the lack of posting. Life.. I tell you! It zooms by and another month is almost over. Crazy I tell you! Last week I went to Salt Lake City to Stampin Up!'s convention. I had a blast and I got a lot of great ideas. It feels like last week was a blur already. I was bummed to see it end. I know I needed to get back home and back into routine. So, I am back.. with a lot of ideas, refreshed inspiration and lots to share.

I thought I would share pictures for the next few weeks ish... of what I experienced at convention. There was so much creativity around me. I just loved it!

 Here I am modeling our convention bag.. I so love this bag.. I love chevron!!!

The photos above are of shopping at the new City Creek Center next to the Marriott, and also heading to Momento Mall for great Stampin Up! goodies! It was a lot of fun to shop Momento Mall, just sayin! 

Now, it is time I rest my head.. I will share more soon!

PS I am really not that short.. the other gals are just tall! LOL

Sunday's Card!

Happy Sunday.. I have survived another weekend.. yay! All days seem the same around here.. but its summer and that is how it goes for an Innkeeper. I was able to sneak downstairs to my studio for a VERY short time and make a few cards that were much needed. I will share the first of, today.

I really like the color combo I used.. and here is the recipe! BTW, this set, So Sorry, has some really nice sentiments in it.. just those true, down to earth type of sentiments that I know I will use over and over again.

It's Blog Hoppin` Time With The Stampin` Stylin` Squad!

Happy Happy Post 4th of July!!! I hope you are having an amazing week full of fun and great memories!! I really love this month's theme. I was a bit stumped.. but once I started, I was on a roll. I never really liked to work with red, white and blue. Not that I don't like the colors together, but I'm more of a um.. subtles girl, or other brights together.. just not really worked with these together before. And, you know what? I love it! I really dig these three colors together! Featuring: Real Red, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White.

Here is my ensemble together.. and then we can talk about each "recipe" separately... ready?

I decided to make, small gift cards for gift bags, a larger A2 size card, and a goodie bag filled with chocolate. A few things I used are retired. I know.. bad me. I try so hard to keep to just current Stampin` Up! products. Unfortunately, our starts have all been retired. I decided to use them anyway.. I was in a star kind of mood. If you have these dies for the Big Shot, I hope I have inspired you to dust them off and USE them!

Project #1 - The A2 Sized Card. I will tell you, I got this card layout idea from Pintrest. She is a fellow demonstrator. She used different Designer Series Paper. I wanted to change it up a bit.
