Convention

Image
Well as I had mentioned before, I attended the Stampin' Up! convention last week. It was four days filled with samples and ideas to get me ready for the Fall and Winter seasons. This year marks my 5th as a SU! demonstrator and I walked across the stage in recognition of this exciting event. I can hardly wait for my 10 year walk! My roommates were so much fun and they shared as much a love for Stampin' Up! as I do. Thank you girls for making my first convention such a memeorable one! Here we all are on the first day. I think I heard there were upward of 2000 demonstrators at convention this year. I hope next year you can make it! Happy Stampin' Tricia

Roladex Stamp Camp

Here is the picture of the roladex we made at my last stamp camp. It is perfect for keeping track of birthdays and anniversaries. This one features Cottage Wall dsp. The class was great fun. If you would like a kit please email me. They are $15 each and include the stamped images, designs will vary to cardstock and paper I have on hand. Be sure to RSVP for my next mini stamp a stack by July 10th. We will be stamping 10 cards using new products from the *NEW* catalog. The cost for supplies is $15. Happy Stampin' Tricia

Dollar Spot find

Image
To know me is to know I stalk the dollar spot at my local chain store (that is right up the street). SU! says we can't name stores so email me if you have questions ;). Anyway, I found this clear clipboard for $2.50 and fell in love. I knew when I saw it that I wanted to attach my paper to the back so it would show through. Now the clipboards did also come in pink and blue I believe, both transparent as well. But clear was my favorite. This took me about 3 minutes to make, it measures 12.5 x 9, which is why you see the solid strip of pumpkin pie at the bottom. I did attach that to both front and back. I used my sticky strip to attach all of my paper, you can still see it slightly. The last touch was a scrap of white satin ribbon that was sitting on my table. Happy Stampin' Tricia Supplies: Island Oasis dsp, pumpkin pie textured cs, white satin ribbon nd sticky strip

Retired Stamp and Acceccories Lists are here!

I cannot believe the end of the year is here already. It seems like we just got the new catalog. Alas, the time has flown and we are getting ready for the new 2010-2011 catalog to debut. So out with the old as they say. All retiring items are available only as supplies last. Some items you will notice are not retiring completely but will be reconfigured in the new catalog. These items will have an asterisk by them. I will update the lists on the side bar as items sell out, so please check back. I am taking orders by email or phone so please contact me and I will place your order asap so you do not miss out. Iwill try and combine orders together so you do get a discount on shipping and handling whereever possible. Also, please check out the SU!clearance rack some retiring items are 25-50% off. Happy Stampin' Tricia
