I'm back from the Stampin' Up! Convention!

Good Morning Stampers!  I apologize for not posting yesterday.  I flew home on Sunday and I was beat after spending the day in the airport and on the plane. Wow! What an amazing convention!! I had so much fun meeting new friends and swapping cards with demonstrators from all over the United States and Canada. I plan to share some of my favorite swaps and Make and Takes with you this week.  Plus, I'll share Stampin' Up! products that I won and purchased from Memento Mall.  Today's post features my Pillow gifts that I gave to all my Stampin' buddies! I'm sorry I didn't include a picture of the inside of the note pad. It has the same color combination on the note paper.  I used two stamp sets--All Holidays (wood mount only #114916) and Word Play (NEW, wood mount #120308, clear mount #120651).

 

Hope you like them!  I used one of the new In Colors--Pear Pizzazz card stock and 1/2'' Stitched-Poly Ribbon.  Other colors are Rose Red and So Saffron.  Of course, I used my Big Shot--Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder (#115964) and Scallop Circle #2 (#113469).  Let me know if you need further info on this project!

There was an exciting announcement at convention.  Whoever holds a $350 Workshop between now and August 31st, will receive an additional $25 in Hostess Benefits!!  Call me today and book your workshop!!  

Have a great day and 

I hope you find time to Be Creative!
