2012 - 2013 Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set

As Convention was coming to a close yesterday, the 2012-2013 Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set was announced.  Each year Stampin' Up chooses one of their stamps sets to be the annual Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set.  This year the "Moving Forward" stamp set was chosen.  Each time this stamp set is purchased, Stampin' Up will donate $3.00 to the Ronald McDonald House Charity!

Here's some projects that can be made with this stamp set...

Wow...Running on E..!

Well, today is the last day of Convention.  It's been a blast!  I've met so many fun and energetic demonstrators, learned lots (and I mean lots) of really cool techniques, and certainly learned a lot about how to have fun while sharing what I love to do.  Stampin' Up really knows how to support their demonstrators!  Check back later to hear about my last day at Convention...

So What's a Swap?

I shared with all of you the recipe cards I created to swap with other demonstrators at Convention.  Swapping originally designed cards and 3-D images is a fun way for demonstrators to share their ideas and creations.  Here are some of my favorites I received from fellow demonstrators.

Great Class Today and Lots of Celebrating

Today was filled with lots of learning from how to strategically design to-die-for savvy projects in the "I Am Savvy" class with Donna Griffith, to learning more about the wonderful Stampin' Up business opportunity in the "I Am Doing Business 'My Way'" class with Tami White and the "I Am A First-Time Recruiter" class with Jill Leigh.

Here are some of my favorite projects on display.

 After a day of learning, I attended the annual Awards Night and Awards Night After Party.  We had lots of fun...

The Best part of the day was finding out that I had been promoted to Senior Associate!

Visit to Stampin' Up Headquarters

Today I toured Stampin' Up's Corporate Headquarters. Here I am in the "Ideas Room" hopefully manifesting some great ideas...

Stampin' Up Corporate Headquarters

It was so much fun to see all the creative things you can do with paper and stamps!  

Very Creative!

Arrived in Salt Lake City

I arrived today in Salt Lake City, Utah for the 2012 Stampin' Up Convention.  They're expecting 3,500 people to attend.  This is the first year I'm attending the convention and am so excited to be here.   I can't wait to see what they've planned for us!

Convention 2012 is Almost Here!

I'm so excited because Convention 2012 is only 4 days away!  This is my first time going to Convention so there will be lots of people to meet, new things to learn, and best of all lots of swaps to make.  Last night just about midnight, I finally finished making my recipe card swaps for Convention.  Here they are...

Follow my blog all next week to see what's going on at Convention!
