I’m back home from Leadership!
Here’s is a look at all the goodies I got from Stampin’ Up! while I was there –
Lots of fun stuff. It was one of the best Stampin’ Up! Events yet. The Manager’s Reception was my favorite so far. I’ve been to 3 and this one was the best. The Houston Aquarium was wonderful. I have lots of pictures to organize and share so I’ll be back with those later this week.
In the photo above this is what is in there –
- The Shark T-shirt from the Manager’s Reception! plus the Hello, Sailor stamp set
- Our Smoky Slate Leadership bag
- The little Tote Bag held our Make & Take supplies and stamp sets – Vivid Vases and Geometrical – plus we got the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit and an aquapainter
- The Language of Love stamp set – an all attendee giveaway at the end of Leadership
- Salt Water Taffy from the city of Salt Lake – they want us to come to convention this summer
- The little shark stamp you see – was my first attempt at carving using the Undefined Carving Kit – I decided to create the shark from the Manager’s reception theme – I need bit of practice on the detail – my shark has some scary looking teeth!
- We received a new stamp from the upcoming annual catalog (I can’t show that to you yet – but it is in the pile).
- Plus a special set for demonstrators that we can uses in our business – it is a photopolymer set.

I have more pictures to organize and share about the trip. And I’m hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule. I know I’ve been bad. I did meet a lot of new people this week and many of you said you follow my blog – that is always fun to hear and I thank you for visiting! Please feel free to leave me some comments and say hello.

I’ve been busy at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership conference. #LEADERship2014 I have been posting on my Facebook page since I can do that from my phone easily. So if you want to see more go look there – StampingatMonikas
Here are a few pictures for you and I’ll have more to share later – probably once I get back home.

That is just little taste. I’m having a great time. Thanks for supporting my business so I can participate in these wonderful events.
Jan 7, 2014 | My Digital Studio, Stampin' Up! Events, Weekly Deals |
Hi all! I’m off to Leadership in Houston, Texas. I thought I would have time to get some posts out here – but no such luck. Time is running out. If you get this by email I’ll already be in Houston by the time you read this.
I’m leaving early Wed. morning. I hope there aren’t any flight delays. Everything is now packed except this laptop. As soon as I finish here I will pack it up and go to bed. I do have some things photographed – so I’ll get those edited and posted during the trip and/or post about the happenings at leadership. From my phone I can post to my Facebook page – so you may want to follow me there for updates during the day and pictures too. This should be the link to get there – CLICK HERE.
Here is a quick – Tell Me Tuesday update.
This week the Weekly Deals are these –
and the newest MDS Digital Downloads are –
Gotta go – I’ll get back to you once I’m in Texas.
Jan 3, 2014 | Occasions Catalog 2014, Stampin' Up! Events |
It’s a fun new catalog with lots of things to LOVE! I know my wish list for this one is really long. I got a handful of things in over the holiday (yes Demonstrators get to pre-order!) and have recently started playing. Sorry for not posting much on my blog. I did get some time today to take pictures of a few projects so I hope to get those on here in the next day or so. Plus I have to get out a January newsletter to my customers. And I’m finishing my prep for Stamper’s Club – that’s tonight and tomorrow morning. I probably didn’t mention this yet but I do have some exciting news to share!
Next week is the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference in Houston, TX. I leave Wednesday morning and on Thursday afternoon I am going to be one of the Share Fair Presenters! OMG! What was I thinking? I will try my best not to shake and turn bright red – but just so you know that is very likely to occur as I will be extremely nervous the whole time. I still have to finish preparing for my display board and go over my presentation a few more times. There is an on-site rehearsal as soon as I get to Houston on Wed. – I sure hope my flight isn’t late.
I still have lots to do for Leadership – like get some swaps ready including a shoebox swap, friend gifts, roommate gifts. Yikes! I better keep moving and not sit still until I get on that airplane next week.
You can start ordering from the new Occasions catalog by visiting my store – GO HERE.
Happy New Year!
Apr 16, 2013 | Cards, Designer Series Paper, Paper Pumpkin, Stampin' Up! Events |
I made these cards to swap at the Stampin’ Up! Baltimore Regional this past weekend. I love the clean simple design of these. I wish I had taken a picture of the full rainbow of cards but I did not – sigh. Luckily I got a couple of photos though.
I made a whole rainbow of these and they would actually make a really fun set of cards. Now I think I may need to make some more. Let’s see I had Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Marina Mist and Rich Razzleberry.
And you know what I didn’t even save one for myself now that I think about it. I will have to make some more of these. Here is what I used to make each card –
- card base in one of the rainbow colors – 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and scored at 4-1/4″ – fold in half
- Whisper White layer – 5-1/4 x 4 – stamp “hey there friend” in the lower right corner in the same color as the base.
- Punch a Itty Bitty Flower using the Itty Bitty Punch pack in the same color.
- Pierce a hole through the center of the flower and through the Whisper White layer next to the words and insert a mini silver brad. Curl up the flower around the brad.
- Add a strip of designer series paper from the Polka Dot Parade pack in the same color to the left side of the Whisper White layer.
- Tie a piece of Whisper White Baker’s twine around and tie in a bow.
- Glue the Whisper White layer to the card base.
Do you know where the stamp came from? It is one of the stamps in the Paper Pumpkin Welcome kit – isn’t it great? If you don’t have it and you want it then you need to join Paper Pumpkin – its easy click here to learn how – and you will get it in your first kit. Our surprise April Kits are on the way – I hope it gets here this week before my Creative Retreat is over so I can show everyone that’s here the newest monthly kit!
Have a nice Spring day today!

Just a quick post of a layout with pictures from the Baltimore Regional. A fun day with friends!
Lots of fun stuff. It was one of the best Stampin’ Up! Events yet. The Manager’s Reception was my favorite so far. I’ve been to 3 and this one was the best. The Houston Aquarium was wonderful. I have lots of pictures to organize and share so I’ll be back with those later this week.
