Today's projects are our Make & Takes from the OnStage event this past March. Usually I have these completed that night while sitting at the table. This time, I did all the stamping but didn't have time to do the coloring or assembling at the event. Check another group of projects off my to-do list! These are really nice cards and I can't wait to use them. I don't know why it took me so long to finish them as it really didn't take that … [Read more...] about More Unfinished Business
Stampin Up Event
Creativity Now
This past Saturday was Stampin Up's Demonstrator event, Creativity Now. This is a Demonstrator only event that Stampin Up hosts each year. It's a virtual event that allows us to craft along with Stampin Up employees. I hosted a watch party at my house for my downline to all watch the video together.

OnStage
Stampin Up's annual convention is going on now. These conventions are for current Stampin Up Demonstrators. I love attending our annual convention.

We also get to see the upcoming catalog that's going to be released along with brand new products too. It's always so much fun seeing the new stuff. I'll be sure to share the new … [Read more...] about OnStage
Annual Awards
Stampin Up just announced the annual awards this past Wednesday for Demonstrators. I received an award for Sales this year. I could not have achieved this without the support of all of you. I am so thankful that you support my small business and my family with your purchases every year. I couldn't possibly do this without all of you. Sure you can buy your craft supplies from online companies or from big box stores. But your purchases helped … [Read more...] about Annual Awards

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
