Convention Sharing and A Traveling Trio


Oh what a week! I'm still processing all the wonderful things from convention... I held this months stamp club last night, have almost all the back to school shopping done and guess what????... I was asked to be a guest designer for UStamp! I am so excited.

I am so excited to tell you that Dawn asked me to be part of UStamp with Dawn & Friends for the fall session! I get to be a guest designer! WOWIE-WOW-WOW!! The Fall UStamp will start September 4th and end October 1st.

How would YOU like to win a FREE PASS??? Yep, Dawn gave me a free pass to give away! All you have to do is leave me a comment below answering these 3 questions and I will draw a winner on Tuesday August 18th at 7 pm MST.

What is the price of the current Mini Starter Kit?

In which of my tutorials does my cat Eric make an appearence?

Who are the two demonstrators that founded UStamp?

____Drawing is now closed _____

Today I want to share with you a few of the fantastic swaps I received at convention. Trading cards with other demonstrators, called swapping, is one of THE most fun parts of convention. You never know what you get and sometimes they are little gems like these! Remember there are just a few weeks left take the plunge and join me next year at convention as a DEMONSTRATOR with the current Stampin' Up! promotion! Check out this posting for all the details.


Photography does not do this card justice! It's beautifully designed and created by Stephanie Ferrera. I'm not sure if you can see it but the half circle has transparency paper behind it.

Again, the one looses something in the photography also, but the trees are embossed and the sponging is smooth as satin. Great card by Michelle Vernaus!


This is a really cool side step card by Emily Turner using the Autumn Leaves DSP.Then there was BFF...every morning when I got out of the shower she had a little surprise waiting on my bed! God love that girl, she is so creative!

_________

I've been receiving some pretty cool pictures of creations made with my latest tutorial, Traveling Trio!



This one is beautifully done by Heather Heroldt. She did an awesome job using the Winter Post stamp set. She also sent me photos of her Purse-onally Perfect Purse that is equally awesome but I'll show you that another time. Excellent work Heather!

  25. I've recently discovered UStamp and would LOVE a free pass for fall. The kit is $85 for a mini starter. Heather Summers and Dawn Rapas started UStamp. And your kitty Eric (my DH's name by the way, which makes it easy to remember) was on tutorial for Purse-onally Perfect. Eric also did not want you to leave for convention and tried to hide your suitcase with himself!
