Birthday Card Contest Winner, Catalog Premiere & Project Life

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Back in March I challenged you to participate in my Birthday Card Contest. It was simple all you had to do was mail me a card that you made using Stampin’ Up! products. Today I wanted to share with you some of the lovely cards I received and of course the winner!

First the cards –

Do you see our current Starburst Framelits (132967) and Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Catalog that Randy used to make this card? And do you remember the name of the image used? If you guess, Punch Bunch from Sale-a-bration in 2011 give yourself a pat on the back!

Here is a card from Mary that uses our retired 5 Petal Flower Punch along with the current retiring Perfectly Penned stamp set (128703/122892).

And how about these birthday cards sent to me by some of my team members aren’t they lovely?

I love the Swallowtail stamp (131943/129216) and the way Janie used our retiring Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402).

Or how about JoAnn’s Vivid Vases (133818) card – don’t you love the colors? I hope you can see the texture added by the paper piecing on this card.

Here is the inside – fun right?

And since I’m a coffee person Cindy made this great monochromatic card using the retired Morning Cup stamp set for me, combining the old with the new. Smoky Slate was one of my favorite colors introduced in the 2013 Catalog.

And now the lucky winner – drum roll please! Randy will be receiving a cute birthday stamp set from my stash! Congratulation Randy, I’ll be sending you a email with details on how to get your free set.

2014 Catalog Premiere

Stampin’ Up! makes being a demonstrator sooo much fun and they treated us to an extra special event this year – a 2014 Catalog Premiere on Monday night. I wanted to share this with you Tuesday, but with all the excitement and lack of sleep I’m just getting back on track.

The premiere was held in theaters across the country and was a fun, high energy event with lots of fellowship and laughter. I thought I’d share some pictures for Monday with you.

Here is a group of us at the Cheese Factory for dinner before the premiere. The table was buzzing with conversation and excitement. It’s always a small world when you’re a demonstrator – Our table included our fellow stamping sisters from SINKS and the Stamp Divas teams along with my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers.

That’s me in the back on the left and here is my part of my Team at the theater while we waiting for the event to begin.

The excitement continued as the lights were dimmed and Shelly greeted us and teased us with our first glimpse of the Catalog Cover!

The night continued with the ever hilarious Bonnie Thurber, who was showing off her bling and getting side tracked with all the new wedding products! Hmm.. wonder why? (I’ll post more photos and details on my Facebook page today.)

The event continued with a star studded cast of Stampin’ Up! “celebrities”. You can tell these people love what they do!

Brian Pilling looked dapper in his black tux as he treated first Bonnie Thurber, then Shannon West, Carrie Cudney, and finally Donna Griffith with a special token he made for them with some of our new products along with their favorite snacks.

Prize Patrol is always one of the fun things that are part of Stampin’ Up! events and the Catalog Premiere was no different. I was soooo excited as my wrist band color was called and I got to take home a great new stamp set from the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog! I’d never won a Prize Patrol before! Stop by my Facebook page and to see what I won.

Sound like fun? If you’d like to join in the fun of being a demonstrator why not jcontact me today and join my team? I’d love to tell you all about the benefits of being part of my team. If you’d like more information click HERE to learn more about the Blue Mountain Stampers.

Farewell to Leadership 2014

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

The last day of Leadership 2014 in Houston came to a close Saturday afternoon – and it arrived too early for this stamper. I’ve truly enjoyed the time spent here in Houston learning new things, spending time with my roomie, and getting to know some of my fellow Demonstrators better. I’ve met folks from across the country and Canada – and we all speak the same language – the love of stamping. What fun!

The day flew by quickly – morning session was filled with a laughter as we participated in our “game show”.

Brian Pilling was just too funny as he “hosted” the show, and of course Bonnie Thurber, whom was on the contestant panel, was a hoot as the game became “competitive” trying to win for our teams. And who can forget Cori Hancock with her gigantic decorated mug! LOL

On to a special plated lunch one last time – how pampered I’ve felt these last few days. Stampin’ Up! makes these events extra special ones for us. Where else can you do what to love and pampered so?

A last spin through the samples and wonderful projects on display.

The last general session included a final message from Shelli along with a surprise announcement of a NEW product we’ll be able to share with you soon – squeal and delight rippled through the crowd – (so stay tuned for more information coming your way soon.)

More projects that Shelli shared with all of us using the Sale-a-Bration Banner Blast Stamp Set (133551/133554).

and Language of Love (133704/133077) from the Occasions Catalog

And a final farewell in closing along with more Prize Patrols and all attendee give aways. Whoo Hoo!!

Does this sound fun and interesting to you? Does it sound like something you’d enjoy and like to do? Would you like to join in the fun and become a Demonstrator? I’d love to speak with you about joining my team – so why not contact me today. If you would like to learn more about my TEAM, the Blue Mountain Stampers Click HERE.

As we filtered out of the George R. Brown Convention Center I was tired but inspired and energized after a wonderful few days, but the day wasn’t done – since we still had the night to enjoy each other’s company and share time together before heading home on Sunday morning. (Pajama party anyone?)

Stop back by – Starting tomorrow I’ll be sharing some of the swaps I made to share and some that I received.

Leadership – Day 2

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

And so the fun begins! As almost a thousand of us converge onto the George R Brown Convention Center. General Session is about to begin and my stamping buds Kathleen and Marni wait with me to go in to find our seats.

Shelli Gardner, our CEO and Cofounder greets us with a message an a challenge for the conference. Along with some exciting new product news! I can’t wait for you to see the new fantastic line being introduced this spring.

Wonderful Displays to see

and display boards too.

A beautiful setting using the Celebration Basics – making a lovely, quick and easy event for anyone.

Party favors – so simple when you use our Kraft Gift Boxes

Kathleen and I joined in to make a difference with the Stampin’ Up! service project. Our goal to assemble 500 birthday kits that will be delivered to the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital here in Houston.

After a wonderful day of sharing and learning new things I enjoyed a dinner out with new friends

at the Quartto Restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel where I had the evenings special – a lovely presentation.

Then off to the hotel to get ready for the next day – stop by tomorrow and I’ll share more of Leadership 2014 with you.

Leadership Day 1 – Shoebox Swap

Posted on January 9, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Today was shoebox day- yippie! After a trip to downtown on Houston’s mass transit system I arrived at the Embassy Hotel for Sherrie’s Shoebox Swap.

I did this event last year and had such a great time stamping with my fellow demonstrators. I chose to do it again this year and wasn’t disappointed. I’ve got some wonderful cards that I can’t wait to share with you when I get home.

Here I am working on my swaps – the weather has been crazy so there were some demonstrators who had problems getting into Houston, so it was a slightly smaller group than expected.

The upside was that it was a more intimate setting, so we were able to spend more time together getting to know each other and make new friends.

Here is a photo of my roomie, Kathleen and some of the other girls during the afternoon session.

After we spent the day stamping, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant on Fannin Street, where I had a delicious meal of stuffed shrimp with my friends.

Here is a group photo of Marni, Kathleen, myself and Susan.

It was such an enjoyable and relaxing day and a perfect way to start off Leadership 2014. I can’t wait until tomorrow!

Remember if you need me or have a questions feel free to send me an email – I’ll be checking it daily while I’m in Houston.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Hi everyone, I hope that you are having a wonderful Valentine’s Day and have something fun planned for the day whether you are able to spend it with someone you love or doing something you love. As usual my hubby is working since he does rotating shift work – so special occasions are always a bit more challenging for us. We’re planning on celebrating a few days late – but hey that means everything will be less crowded right?

So in celebration of Valentine’s Day I thought I would share with you some of the wonderful swaps that I received from my fellow demonstrators during Leadership. Enjoy!

If you get a chance come back later – I’ll be sharing the special little treat I made for my valentines.

You’ve been asking Stampin’ Up! and they have listened. During Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2013 Sara Douglass announced the introduction of a NEW, very manly stamping kit – Dude, You’re Welcome! kit with a tongue in cheek introduction that was so much fun I chuckled the whole time.

The kit comes with:

Leadership 2013 – Day 3

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’m sorry to say I didn’t get to post this as soon as I wanted because the last day of Stampin’ Up! Leadership 2013 was a fantastic and full day! Saturday began with Shelli greeting us and showing us some wonderful projects with our charming Tea for Two Suite projects. You got to love the feel and look of the suite and the fact that everything coordinates together. I love the soft spring colors it includes.

I’m so tickled to say that we were told our Single Stamps has been successful enough that they will be continued with two new groups being offered– whoo hoo! What a great way to get your favorite stamps without buying the set if you choose. Who wouldn’t like that right?

Another exciting announcement was made about the Best of 25 Years stamp sets that will be released monthly during 2013. Who wouldn’t like that? It’s a chance to get the most popular stamps that we’ve had over the last 25 years along with an NEW exclusive image too!

Next we headed out for break out classes. I really loved these because we got great information in a small group setting. From Creating a Blueprint for Success with Brandi Barnard and Meg Daves to a really awesome downline training class called Strategies to Empower your Downline that Holly Linford and Lynsay Mahon gave. I loved it all and learned wonderful tips and information that made me feel empowered to improve my life and make a difference in my TEAMs lives.

And meeting the people that I’ve been working with and have admired over the last several years was soo much fun. What a wonderful way to share with others what we all love – paper crafting.

During Leadership 2013 Stampin’ Up! gave us the opportunity to make a difference to the children in Florida with a service project designed to get things to children who don’t have access to them. Stampin’ Up! gave us the opportunity to stuff bags and fill them with markers, cardstock and other paper crafting supplies that would be delivered locally to children in need through the schools. How great is that. Watching the Stampin’ Up! semi loaded with supplies for the children of the area – a true feel good moment. Stampin’ Up! does make a difference in our lives and the lives of others.

A wonderful lunch which included another delightful meal and fellowship around the table meeting a new friend, Robin whom joined our group.

Leadership has been a chance to grow and reach out to others and spend time getting to know stamping friends even better.

Leadership 2013 ended with a special message from the management, a little bit of silliness with Bonnie, and a final message from Shelli, and a final prize patrol of course. After all who doesn’t love prize patrol?

Check out this quick little video where Bonne lead us in song – how crazy was that?

What a wonderful experience Leadership 2013 has been.

As we headed off to enjoy dinner together at a local Chinese restaurant we shared our favorite experience of Leadership 2013 with each other.

Above Janie and I check out the menu. We had a great time trying new dishes during our time in Orlando. Below is a shot of Kathleen and Janie.

One final event Sale-a-bration Celebration after dinner was a ton of fun. What great projects and laughter. I do hope that Stampin’ Up! will offer this opportunity again in other cities since it was a great chance to share the love of paper crafting and it gives everyone a great opportunity to see how much fun being part of Stampin’ Up! can be.

Want to see what all the excitement is about? Why not come by on Sunday, January 20^th and see all the wonderful Sale-a-bration and Spring Catalog products during my Sale-a-Bration Celebration.
