Team Meeting Regional Event

My amazing upline, Lorri Heiling, hosted another "Regional Event" for our team on Saturday.  We had Prize Patrol, a beautiful gift bag and yummy snacks provided by several of our team members.  Part of our event also included seven make and takes and every one of them was fun to do and turned out great!

I'll be sharing them over the next week or so, in between my own creations.  I trust you will come back each day and check them out.

Here is one of my favorites.

We embossed Real Red card stock with Large Polka Dots embossing folder (133739).  Lorri pre-cut the black mats under the DSP and since we each had a pack of Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779) in our gift bag, we were able to cut out the tops for the mats.  Aren't they beautiful?

 
We also made an envelope liner using the Envelope Liners Framelits (132172) from the DSP stack for our You + Me card.

 

Come back tomorrow to see another project.  There are so many fun and cute things we made and I'm anxious to show them off!  Thanks again to Lorri for an amazingly fun day of crafting with the girls!

Phoenix Regionals - More Pictures to Share

I thought I'd share some more pictures from the Phoenix Regional a couple of weeks ago.  I just love the paper used on so many of these.  It's so bright and cheerful and perfect for bright beautiful birthday cards.

A lot of the paper used on these cards is from the Occasions Mini Catalog - Sweet Shop - 125408.  Click on the pictures for a larger view of the photo boards here.

I hope you enjoy the pictures from Regionals. 

Enjoy your weekend.  It will be a busy weekend for me working my real job.  haha... Matter of fact, all week will be long hours at the office so may not have a chance to post much this week but I'll post when I can.

Have a great one!

Gnome Sweet Gnome

I've had a request to post more pictures from the Phoenix Regionals, so here we go... Gnome Sweet Gnome!  So many cute things to do with these little guys.

I think they look best watercolored, seems to be the right look for them, don't you think?

Tomorrow I'll post pictures from today's Workshop.  It was a great day today and Mary had an awesome party!  Thanks again Mary.

Happy Saturday!!

Regional Display Boards

One of the great things about going to a Stampin' Up! Regional event is all the great ideas we get while there.  I especially enjoy seeing the display boards filled with wonderful samples.  So, I thought I'd share some of them with you here from last weekend's event.

Don't you just love the colors here?  One of my favorite papers is the one used mostly here - Twitterpated from the Occasions Mini.  You should be able to click on the picture and see a larger version.

What do you think?
