OnStage Team Gifts - Engraved Clear Blocks

I love having the opportunity to give creative, thoughtful gifts and I think I nailed it with this one.  These were for my team members that traveled to the Phoenix OnStage.

 
I had a 'D' clear stamping block engraved with our team daisy and OnStage Phoenix 2016. 
 
 
Making the box was the most fun of all!  I sized it to fit the block then created a removable frame with easel that has our Statement of the Heart in it. 





 
I had my friend Sara print the Statement of the Heart on Whisper White cardstock and she ran it through her Minc with Rose Gold foil.  It looks awesome with the Copper Foil paper, don't you think?  The pink is Blushing Bride.


 
So much fun to give!

 
Here is a close up of the block, I had Tamra Davis engrave them for me.  I took this against my desk so you can see it.  The scratch at the top is on my desk, not the block. *Ü*

CentreStage Presentation

The Friday evening before OnStage, Stampin' Up! holds a leadership dinner for demonstrators with titles of Silver Elite and above.  It is always such a beautiful presentation and evening.  This year it was a circus theme but yet, beautiful pastel colors.
 
 
Tami White and I were asked to give a presentation before dinner along with Kevin Lunt from the home office.  It is always an honor to be asked to present in front of your peers and probably one of the most nerve wracking experienced too.
 
 
Tami, Kevin and myself the next day because we didn't get a picture that evening.
 
 
We're all microphoned up and ready to go.
 
 
This poor sound guy!  He had a little mishap with Tami's microphone....  I hate to laugh at the guy but he turned 50 shades of red and we weren't helping his situation by playing around!! 
 
 
The table presentation is always beautiful with so much attention to detail.
 
 
There is always a favor for us at the table, this year it was a jar of taffy with a label that matched the theme.
 
 
The dinner was beautiful - I had to take pictures of the food!

 
 
Every bit of it was delicious.
 
 
 
This cheesecake thing was amazing!!

 
We always get a bag at CentreStage just for those who qualify to be there.  This year is probably my favorite Stampin' Up! bag ever!
Thank you Stampin' Up! for a beautiful evening!

OnStage Team Celebrating

During our team get together we had a tag swap.  We each made 35 to swap with each other and of course we voted for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place just so we could give away prize. YAY!
 
 
 This is most of them, I noticed a couple of them were stuck together and a couple of them got ruined ;( but they were fantastic!!


One of Lorri's downline, CJ, did a demonstration for us on how to use inspiration from other places and create it with Stampin' Up! products.  It was fantastic!  Here is her display with a close up of her adorable banner.

 
 Having the opportunity to celebrate with my long distance team is one of the things I look forward to the most at Stampin' Up! gatherings.  While in Phoenix I got to celebrate two huge milestone achievements with two of my team members.
 
 
Raquelle Clifton, my downline in Colorado advanced to Silver Elite - a HUGE milestone with Stampin' Up!.  I was so excited to present her with a bright pink Pandora bracelet with our team daisy charm.  If you have visited her blog, you know pink is her color. Congratulations Raquelle!
 
 
My photo with her didn't turn out, so I cropped her from our team picture. *Ü*
 
 
Another huge milestone worth celebrating was for Joanne Starbuck. She achieved her first $100,000 in career sales.  I could not have been more proud to present her with a fun gift for an amazing achievement!  Congratulations Joanne!
