Color Challenge

The colors in the challenge today are Soft Suede, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight.  I love Soft Suede and Poppy Parade and I snuck a bit of the Daffodil Delight in.

 The Mixed Bunch image is embossed in clear on Very Vanilla.  Then it is punched out with the Blossom Punch and sponged.  LOVE that.  There is a lot of sponging on this card.  And distressing.

I hope you like it!
Have a great rest of the day!

New! Everything Eleanor

This is a new set coming in the new catalog.  It was given to Leadership attendees.  I LOVE it.  Isn't that swirl just gorgeous?!  


For now the set will sit on the shelf until we get closer to June.  But I had to share it now.
Have a great day!

More Leadership Pictures!

Here are more pictures of samples at Leadership!

I went to Manager's Reception this year!


Most of these pictures didn't turn out.  It was a fun evening full of sitting on the edge of my seat!  HA!

Creative Samples.

More Leadership!

There were two other classes that I went to at Leadership 2012.  One was Sharing The Stampin' Up! Opportunity with Brian Pilling.  This was all about being in tune with people and sharing Stampin' Up! with them at an opportune time.  I truly love what I do.  I love stamping and creating.  I love sharing that with others.  When I first started stamping and was introduced to Stampin' Up!, I found that I loved their products.  I love the coordination of stamps, ink and paper.  And of course the accessories are fabulous! 
The other class that I attended was Why Women Buy with Carrie Cudney.  This was a fun class.  Carrie showed a diagram of a mall with how men buy jeans and how women buy jeans.  (I buy like a man!)  Anyway, fun class and fun clips.  I did get a little bit of the giggles with Emma while in this class.  Hopefully we didn't disturb anyone.  I don't think we did.  Phew.
All of this brings me back to the Statement of the Heart:
To love what we do
and share what we love
as we help others enjoy creativity
and worthwhile accomplishments
...in this we make a difference!

Have a great day!

Samples from Leadership

There is so much to share from Leadership.  The biggest is that the 2012-2013 Catalog will start June 1st!  It will be a tad smaller in thickness.  There will be 2 mini catalogs.  These will be larger than they have been.  The Holiday Mini will start August 1st.  Cool, huh!?  There will not be a Summer Mini, but I am good with that.  I am liking these changes.

And with that, here are more samples from Leadership.

The food was FABULOUS!

My adorable friend Emma.







Aren't the samples just superb!?
