Managers Reception

I just got back from Leadership in Nashville TN.  It was so much fun.  This year I was able to attend my first ever Manager’s Reception.  It’s a special party for those who have earned the Manager’s title.  I was looking at the Stampin’ Up! website this morning and noticed that our picture was on it so I just had to share.

Starting from left to right is my Up-line Brandi Barnard, then Kristi, my other up-line Amy Johnson, Melanie, Me the Ashley and Wendy.  They took us to the Wild Horse Saloon.  The food was fabulous as well as the entertainment.  Plus the gave us all these fun hats and a new stamp set.

I have lots of fun ideas that I’m looking forward to sharing with you.  Thanks to everyone who helped me get here.

Crazy for Christmas 2010

First I must apologize for the delay in this post.  I work part time at a book store “The Book Table” as the General Books Manager.  On Wednesday night there was a fire in the apartment above our store and we had 5200 gallons of water flow down to our store.  This was two days before our annual Midnight Madness sale.  I ended up at the store way longer then I had planned for two days straight trying to get the store back together.  So my post was delayed.  For those of you are local thanks so much for your support Midnight Madness was a big success.

Since my Crazy for Christmas Class is this weekend I’ve decided to add in a few more times for those who are getting short notice.  Please let me know which day you are coming and about what time so I can plan accordingly.  If you plan to come this weekend I need to know what you would like to do ASAP.  I would like to get an order placed tonight or first thing in the morning.  I will be ordering a few extra’s so if you didn’t get a hold of me in time just let me know maybe I will have the stuff.

Class times:

Friday December 10th from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Saturday December 11th from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Friday December 17th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Saturday December 18th from 10:00 AM t0 2:00 PM

Once again please let me know date and time when you register for your class.

In addition to the fun project there will be awesome sales on some of your favorite Stampin’ Up! products.  There will also be a fun project for everyone that comes.  So everyone is welcome to come and check out the sales and make a project even if you aren’t signed up for a class.

BONUS- I will be giving away $5.o0 gift certificates to the first 5 people that contact me with their project order.

Here are all the fun projects.  Please let me know which ones you would like to do and how many.  Remember some patterns may vary.

Rudolph Hanger- $2.00

Isn’t he so much fun.  The card will be a little different since this is an old sample.  Inside it says “Just Popin’ by with a Christmas HI.”  I filled it with microwave popcorn and some candy canes.  It makes a perfect gifts for neighbors.  The best part it if they aren’t home you can just hang it on their door for a great surprise.

Convention 12 x 12 Group 2

I’m finally finding some time to get to then next cute set of Convention swaps.  Hope you enjoy them.

This was created by Jessica Hiltz.  It’s such a fun and easy layout, but it’s so cute.  I really love the color combination as well.

#116716 Animal Stories $15.95
#111254 Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel $8.50

Sorry I don’t know the awesome creator of this page.  It uses one of my favorite Designer Series Papers.  It’s perfect for just about anything from a fun spring pages to and awesome family page.  You can even turn the pages around or switch sides to make it work for you.

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP $9.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95
This set is also available for MDS

This page just screams summer to me and I love it.  It was created by Becky Kittaka.  The color combination’s are so fun and have so much energy it just brightens your day to look at it.  You can’t see it, but the summer fun die cuts are embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder.  It really adds a lot to the page.

#117168 Play Date DSP $9.95
#119747 Brights Designer Buttons $8.95
#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#117335 Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders $7.95

My totally terrific up-line Brandi Barnard created this darling page.  I love how simple it is.  She even created the girl bear so we could switch it out if we need too.  Of course I will most likely keep it the boy since I have all boys, but I can sure turn the cute little bear into a fun card.  What you can’t see of course is that she used crystal effects on the balloons to make them all shinny.  It’s so cute.

#119278 Basic Birthday Die $21.95
#118052 Beary Best Friends $18.95

Doesn’t this page just make you happy.  I love it.  It just makes me smile.  It was created by my good friend Ashley VanCamp.  She’s so talented.  I love that she used the new owl punch.  It’s so cute.

Funky Four
#113738 Wood $14.95
#120438 Clear $11.95

#118974 Large Owl Punch $16.95

There’s two more sets to go so be sure to watch for them.  If you would like to recreate any of these let me know I’d be happy to help you with any of the supplies you need.

I’m so excited I had to share!

I’m super excited and just had to share my good news with you.

Stampin’ Up! was having a contest to help us get inspired to earn the Disney World trip this year.  So they decided to have a Disney contest.  All you had to do was create something Disney and then post it on our group website Stampin’ Connection, which is like a facebook for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators only.

Of course I just had to enter and today I found out that I won.  There were over 250 entries and I was picked as one of the five winners.  I also got a free stamp set of my choice so I’ve been walking on air all day.

Anyway I thought I would share with you the 5 projects that I entered.

This is my fun Disney sign to keep me inspired.  All of the fun characters are made with punches.

I had a friend request for me to make a Donald Duck out of punches so I thought the contest was the perfect opportunity.

This one is a little different.  It’s a giant Genie that I have on my back door.  He’s holding our dream board.  I drew him, but I colored him with the Stampin’ Up! water-color pencils.  Oh and yes I do know that I spelled command wrong.  I just through it in the picture on Photo shop and didn’t notice till later.  It will be correct when I add it to the door.

You’ve probably seen this one before it was a page that I entered in my first Artisan Award Contest.

Last is the winning card.  This is my Goofy card which you’ve probably seen before.  His all made with punches.  I actually made him for a swap a few years back.

Thanks for sharing my excitement with me.  I hope you enjoyed my projects.

Remember that there’s still plenty of time to join me and earn the Disney trip together.  Plus there is the Totally-Awesome tote that you get for free when you sign up before 18th.  Contact me today for more information.  435-245-5321

PS-
I was thinking that I would give away 5 of these fun cards. To win all you have to do is help me get to 50 fans on my “Stampin With Candice page” on Facebook.  All you have to do is go to my page by clicking on the link and select like, then invite your friends to like my page too.  Then leave me a comment. I will choose 5 winners when I get to 50 fans and I’ll mail them out to you. Thanks so much for your support and for helping me to spread the word.

Back from Convention

I’m back from Convention and so excited to share everything with you.  Convention was fabulous as usual.  Of course there were tons of great ideas.  I did my swaps again this year so I thought I would share them with you.  I was in charge of three different swaps this year: a fabric swap using the Big Shot, a 3D swap and a 12 x 12 Double Scrapbook Layout.  So far I have the fabric swaps up so you can check them out.  Just image how much fun you could have making these projects with your own Big Shot.  I’d love to show you how just give me a call, plus you can check out all these great projects in person.

To see the fun swaps just click here. You can also find them under Samples-Swaps-Convention 2010.  Check backs so to see the great Hostess Promotion as well as the other swaps I got.
