Wow! I'm back from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference and it was absolutely amazing! I do apologize for not posting during my stay in San Antonio. Wi-fi at the Grand Hyatt was $12.95 a day!! I'd rather spend that on stamps and supplies! I'll post a few pictures each day, so that you can get an idea of what Leadership was like! We began the first day of leadership with a Stampin' Up! welcome sign in our hotel lobby! I'm standing with Martha, my upline.
Of course, the anticipation of any Stampin' Up! event is the "bag"! Here's my upline, Martha, showing off our new Leadership tote. You will see this fabric again in the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog! Isn't it gorgeous?
When we went to Make & Takes, this adorable note pad holder was waiting for each of us at the table!!
Shelli, our co-founder and CEO, signed each gift tag! I'm sure this name tag design will be a part of My Digital Studio in the months to come.
Did I mention the chocolates? That's important! One of Stampin' Up!'s employees made each of us (all 1400 in attendance) a white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate bars! These wonderful sweets were tucked inside this embellished Big Shot Fancy Favor box!
Speaking of Make & Takes--We were given 10 projects to stamp and create! Several are 3 dimensional, so we assembled all the embellishements and brought home the unassembled boxes, so they wouldn't get smooshed! I'll be showing these projects throughout the week. We used the Mixed Bunch stamp set to make 2 of the card pictured below--one to take home and one for the Ronald McDonald House.
Did I mention all the FREE product we received?...stamp sets, basic jewels, basic pearls, large pearls, 3 spools of ribbon, bakers twine, buttons, MDS content CD, markers, catalogs, Everyday Enchantment DP and Fresh Vintage stamp set! Also, a brand NEW stamp set coming out in the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog, but I'm not allowed to show yet.
Sale-A-Bration begins tomorrow!
Be Creative Hugs,
