To keep you up to date with the upcoming changes, today on Inking Everything with Becky I announced that IEWB will conclude following the Holiday Session.  Below is the posting from the IEWB site.

 

 I would like to share an exciting announcement with you! Julie is taking the reins and breaking out on her own with a brand new membership site called Inky Fingers – the same name as her blog and her business. It will be similar to our Membership site with occasional live sessions called Special Sessions, and a weekly tutorial of a hand-stamped project designed by Julie and other creative stampers – including myself, from time to time, delivered to your inbox.

Inking Everything with Becky (and Julie) will conclude after this holiday session to make room for Inky Fingers. Julie is the one who created the website, posted the tutorials, and generally kept everything on-line & up and running so I’m confident the new project will be just as good as or better than the current one. I’ve enjoyed every minute of showcasing the talent on my team and this is not the last you will see of them or me, but I’m moving to the role of contributor instead of being a partner.

I would like to thank each of you for membership and for trusting that I would bring you a quality product in this site. I appreciate all the comments you’ve left, words of encouragement for my team as they designed for you and for telling your friends about us. This isn’t the end so it’s not good bye, rather the beginning of something new.

 

An added bonus for IEWB members who join Inky Fingers is a 20% discount on all future purchases including all her tutorials that are not part of Inky Fingers and two ebooks in the works; a proven 8 month course for new students that worked wonders for her local business and a card layout workbook with measurements and multiple ideas.

Continue your creative experience and join Inky Fingers today.

A Summer Starfruit Gift

 Thank you for the e-mail yesterday congratulating me on 5 million blog hits.  I still just can't even believe it!

 

 

Here is a little Summer Starfruit gift and card I gave to Lorri Heiling for earning her first Founder's Circle trip. I love the 'I Am' stamp set we received at convention and thought it was perfect for the strengths and creativity she possesses.  Plus she loves yellow so it was a great opportunity to use the new Summer Starfruit In Color.

More Founder's Circle & a HUGE Celebration!

Great news!  While I was at Founder's Circle my blog passed

 5 MILLION HITS!!!! 

Thank you, thank you to each of you who stop by and visit!

Woo Hoo! *Ü*

 

 

These is my final day of sharing Founder's Circle photos with you.  Stampin' Up! treated us to the most amazing excursion.  They bused us to Page, Arizona to float down Glen Canyon for 3 beautiful hours.  We had gorgeous weather, scenery and company...like my friends Denise Sullivan and Penny Thomas!

 

Then they treated us to dinner in darling lunch bags for the bus ride back to St. George, UT. 

 

I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my good friend Lorri Heiling!  This was her first time and it was so cool to experience that through her eyes!

 

Until she made me put my head through this dorky display at the Tuacahn Theater.

 

The outdoor amphitheater is so beautiful tucked in the mountains! We watched the production of Hairspray - AWESOME!!

 

  Inking Everything with Becky started Monday but it isn't too late - come join us today!  It runs for 2 weeks then stays up for several months for you to enjoy.  This session highlights all the fall holidays with cards, card candy, gifts and gift packaging just for you!

 

Come on over HERE and register today!

Founder's Circle Swapping & Fun

The Business Share evening is a pajama party at Founder's Circle.

 

 Sheri Peters, Diana Gibbs and me.  Lorri Heiling is taking the picture - I'll have one of her cute self next time.

 

 Yummy snacks!  Every kind of Rice Krispie treat you could possibly think of!

 

 And a man there making fresh cinnamon almonds.  Oh the smell in the hotel before we got in to actually see what was in store was amazing!!!  So were the almonds.  It was hard to tell if it was cinnamon rolls, cookies or what!  The presentation of them was adorable in these handmade cones with special Founder's Circle Cinnamon Almond tags on them.  Yep, I dumped the almonds I didn't eat and kept the packaging!

Everyone in pajamas!  In the center facing you is Angie Kennedy Juda with Rhonda Wade in plaid talking to her.

 

 

Everyone lined up for the swap!  It took up two hallways, through the lobby around the corner past the elevators...120 ladies all swapping in a line.  Pretty impressive!

 

 

Here are my swaps in production.

 

Card fronts finished!

 

It was a 2 layer swap, duplicatable and demonstratable...do you know how hard that is for me to make a card with just 2 layers????

 

All bagged up and ready to go!

Here are all the comfy couches before everyone filled them up. *Ü*  This is where we could come visit with friends, do our make n takes, relax and snack of course!

 

 

The beautiful beach themed displays had candy in them all over the place. There was no shortage for sure!

 

And ice cream!!

 

And more candy!

 

 

This is me with Laura Thomas from the Events Department (it probably has a 'real' name) who is responsible for the Founder's Circle event.  Laura, it was absolutely PERFECT and I love your sassy new hairdo!  Thank you for all YOU do and thank you to Stampin' Up! for another incredible trip!!

 

I have a lot more pictures to share over the next few days!

Founder's Circle Retreat

I'm enjoying a fantastic trip to Founder's Circle with Stampin' Up! in St. George, Utah this week.  Here are a few pictures of the first evening.

 Shelli welcoming us at the happy hour get together before dinner.

The theme for this year is kinda beach-y.  The table decor was just beautiful!
