Swaps Are Done… Convention Here I Come!

I finally finished my convention swaps around 6:00pm last night —  191 swaps – 4 different designs!!  Although it cost me some sleep, I got it done!  I’m ready for convention …all the excitement and new things to learn …which means I get to share it with you … can’t wait!! The activities start tomorrow.  Here’s one of the swaps I made for an organized kids theme swap:

I stamped the hearts on the pot to match the hearts inside the pot.   I gave my Stamp-a-ma-jig a real workout…lining up the shelf, teddy bear, the pot, the blocks, the hearts and the sentiment underneath the shelf!  Imagine doing that for 42 cards?!!

Convention is another great reason why being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is exciting and so much fun.  You get to attend these fun-filled learning experiences geared just for demos like me!  We get a bag, free stamp sets and other freebie stuff, do make and takes, go on a tour of Stampin’ Up! headquarters, get tons of ideas, and meet new friends!  But wait– did you know that you, too, can share in the fun by becoming a demonstrator?!!  The starter kit is at  a great low price of $99 with free shipping AND you can customize it as well!!!!  Begin your journey with a 30% discount on your first Stampin’ Up! order and after that a 20% discount on all your future orders.  Discount is not the only benefit…becoming a better stamper and learning how to be more creative is another great benefit.  Don’t pass it up!  Sign up now or call me and begin your Stampin’ Up! journey!
