Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Happy Friday! I'm back today with Part 2 of the Virtual Album Retreat. I wanted to share my thoughts on the Retreat. As I mentioned, the Virtual Retreat took place over three days, with each "session" lasting around 8ish hours. That's about 24 hours worth of crafting and instruction. You could check in for any portion as you had time and then watch the videos in replay later. The how-to videos are lengthy because they want you to have time … [Read more...] about Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Virtual Album Retreat-Part 1
Stampin Up recently held their very first Virtual Album Retreat. This was a scrapbook retreat held online via video over three days. The videos were live and you could craft along with the presenters. I'm going to share a couple of the pages. The projects are two page spreads for each month of the year. They recommend having pictures ready to go for an entire year and then you can glue them in as you make your pages. Instead, I recommend … [Read more...] about Virtual Album Retreat-Part 1

Once upon a time (a couple weekends ago), Stampin Up hosted a virtual event for Demonstrators called Creativity Now. This is an awesome event. It's a fun time crafting with Stampin Up employees and we get some sneak peaks on new upcoming products and some behind the scenes on how products come to life. When you sign up for the event, you get the … [Read more...] about Have I Learned My Lesson?
OnStage
Stampin Up's Annual Convention, called OnStage, is happening this weekend. OnStage is the big event where the new Annual Catalog will be revealed to those attending. We will also get to see brand new products that will be released in the new Annual Catalog, which starts in May. This is absolutely one of the best perks on being a Demonstrator - seeing the products first and being able to order them first. For Demonstrators that aren't able to … [Read more...] about OnStage
What Was I Thinking?
Do you ever have one of those moments when you're enjoying the occasion and completely forget to take a single picture? Yep, that was me at our Stampin Up Holiday party last weekend. Oh well, we had a lovely lunch and afternoon spending time together. I do want to share one of the gifts I received that day. This adorable project was made by Lyndi and just look at what she did with the October Paper Pumpkin kit! This little wood box is … [Read more...] about What Was I Thinking?
