Cute Gift Card Holder and Card

Carolyn Hamil made these for me.  Aren't they ardorable!

She used Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper.  I love the colors.

Carolyn knows me so well. She gave me a Gift Card for Sati, my favorite place for Chai tea (they also have excellent crepes).  She gave me this from the Girl Scout troop as a thank you for coming to make cards with them. Click here to see the projects we made.

Thanks Carolyn for the fun treat, adorable card and gift card holder.

Final day in San Antonio

Look at all of this I received at Leadership!  They always amaze me with all the give aways.  2 of the stamp sets are not shown because they have not been released yet.  I  love getting some stamps early FREE!

Melony and I went to the Alamo on Saturday.  It was just a couple blocks from our hotel.

We went to FOGO DE CHAO for supper.  It was amazing both the food and service.  I was excited to find out they have a location in MN!

We met up with our friend Kandi and went on a boat tour of the River Walk.  It was a great way to end our trip!

Now I am back to reality and trying to organize all of my good ideas!

Leadership Day 2

Yesterday was the last day of Leadership.  Here are some pictures from the day.

I had to take a picture of someone's waffle at our hotel.  My kids would love them!

 Here is our group: Lyssa, Kim, Melony, Me, Cheryl, Kandi, Susan, Jessica, Wendy

We all received the Sale-A-Bration pack of Designer Series Paper and Fresh Vintage Stamp Set.  We LOVE free stamps and accessories!

At lunch Melony and I took a walk on the River Walk.  It was great to move around after so much sitting, and the River Walk is the perfect place to escape for a little bit.

Shelli showed these two Valentine cards.

 Isn't this  a cute Valentine idea?  It uses the Heart Collection Framelits Dies.

 

We ended the day at this fantastic Mexican restraunt, Mi Tierra.  Here is Jessica with the mariochi band.

Here is our group!

They had each room decorated differently.

They had many authentic Mexican treats.

We had a wonderful day!

Leadership Day One

Last night I was so excied about being a part of The Extreme Home Makeover that I did not blog on yesterday!  It was a great day with many new ideas, and more freebies! 

We got a new stamp set that I can not show you under the large pearl basic jewels, a Sale-A-Bration My Digital Studio CD, rhinestones and pearls, Pool Party ribbon, and extra Occasion Mini Catalogs and Sale-A-Bration brochures.  We also received a free set last night at Manager's reception that I can not sho yet either because it has not been released.

Here is a picture of Shelli and I, Stampin Up's co-founder and CEO.

 

Look at these adorable Build A Bear cards using the Big Shot Dies!

Looking forward to today!

Extreme Home Make Over

Oh My Goodness!  Melony and I just had the most amazing night!  We went out for a power walk, and ran into a Christmas parade along the River Walk.  Extreme Home Makeover is here taping their final show that will air in December. 

We followed the parade to where Ty was.

We finished watching the parade there, and were a part of the show. It was absolutely amazing!  Ty is hilarous and is cracking jokes right and left.

 

Paige and Michael

 

The T-Shirts the workers wear.

If you look in front of Ty are a few rows of wounded military.  They surprised 10 families with new homes.  It was amazing as they called up each one and told a little bit about themselves and how the house would help them.

At the end of the show Lee Greenwood sang I am Proud to Be an American which gave us chills as we all sang along.

Roger the Rocket Clemens was there to hand keys to the families to their new homes

What a fun unexpected night!

Leadership Manager's Reception

Remember the cute fan invitation I received for Manager's reception?  Last night we had the event where we got to see the the world-renowned Chinese Acrobats of Hebei.

They always do a great job decorating!

They did a fantastic job!

 

 

 

Here is our group of managers minus Susan who we could not find.

Wendy Fassbender, Me, Kandi Williams, Jessica Taylor, Lyssa Zwolanek, and Melony Bishop.

 

Now to get ready for the day!

Happy Stamping!

Leadership Make and Takes

Hello from San Antonio!  I had smooth travel today and hopped right into make and takes!  Here are some pictures from today:

Here is a picture of the Convention Center with the River Walk below. 

 

We were given these bags at check in.

This was at our spots when we went to make the projects.  A signed welcome from Shelli on an adorable cloth note pad holder along with a container of chocolates.

Here is a picture of all our supplies we were given to make the projects.

 

Here we are in the process of stamping: Me, Melony Bishop, Kandi Williams, and Kim Vale

Here are the projects we each made.

It is fun to make projects that we did not have to plan or prepare!

 

They have all kinds of fun displays:

We are having a blast!

 

Mixed Bunch Sale-A-Bration Card

Here is another design I made for my Leadership Swaps.  It uses Mixed Bunch Stamp Set and gives you a sneak peak of the Sale-A-Bration set, Outlined Occasions stamp set.  This set is available FREE with a $50 order beginning on the 24th.  The ribbon is from Sale-A-Bration item Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack.  The Designer Series Paper on both cards is also a Sale-A-Bration item called Everyday Enchantment.  Which color combination do you like best? 

We will be making this at my January 30th Stamp-A-Stack.  I hope you can join us!

Now I need to run up and finish packing.  I leave for San Antonio in the morning!  I can't wait!!!
