Fun In the Sun

This card is so perfect for summer! I am enjoying some fun in the sun at Lake Shasta this week and scheduled this post so you can enjoy a little sun, too.

This is one of the swaps I received at Convention that we will be CASE'ing at my class next week.

June Club Projects

Well, I'm finally posting the cards we made in our June club. Both used Betsy's Blossom, a fun and versatile stamp set. I recently bought a some earrings from Premier Designs and was so surprised that the image on the box matched (almost exactly) the large floral image from our set! Since it was a b-day gift for my mom I gave her the top card, which matched the box. So fun!

My Convention Swaps

Our Inkerbelles group met for dinner and we had prepared special full card swaps. This is the card I traded. It's very similar to one of the cards we made in my June Club. I never posted those - maybe Monday!

This was the swap I traded at Convention. There were so many great swaps I received in return. I even got some swaps from people after I had run out. People were so generous and kind.

SU Convention 2012

I went to Stampin Up's Annual Convention in Utah 7/18-7/21 with my friend, Cathy H, and we had such a blast!

Here are a couple of the free sets we received on the last day. The set on the left is an exclusive set that Convention attendees received. The set on the right is called Moving Forward and SU donates $3 from the purchase of each set to Ronald McDonald Charities. We got ours free! I can't wait to use it and hope lots of people will purchase it so SU will donate to this worthy cause.


Here's a card that we'll make at a class on Aug 23rd. I received this swap from Julie B, a fellow Inkerbelle, and it uses one of the images from the Moving Forward set. Isn't it adorable? Hope you can make it to the class!

I finally uploaded all my photos from Convention and will be sharing them with you, so be sure to check back often!

Ok, I got back from SU's convention late last Sat night. It was such a blast! Click here to watch the video and be prepared to get caught up in the music. You'll find yourself tapping your toes and singing along. I received so many great swaps. At my class today we picked four of them to replicate at a class on Aug 23rd. Mark your caledar!
