This Weekend was our Annual Spring into Stamping demonstrator meeting in Champaign, IL. OH my Gosh all I have to say is every year it gets better and better and I learn so much from these talented women! Here is a picture of me with a few of the girls from the Create With M.E. team. Mary, Linda and Kathy all very talented and wonderful women that I am proud to have on my team! I Love them all! now I need to go get my hair colored! (why doesn't anyone tell you how bad you really look when your roots grow out! ;-) Pictures DO NOT lie!
The Displays were unbelieveable. Here is just one board from Stamper Jan McGowen who featured our wonderful Stampin' Up! punches. Isn't she phenomenal! There are ideas on there that I NEVER would have thought of. I am always just so amazed at what people can do when they think outside the box. Wish my brain worked that way more often.
Here is an adorable bunny that someone had on display. You can guarantee I will be CASEing this idea (Copy and Steal EVERYTHING!) from her. I think it was Tammy Rundle but not positive so if this idea was yours please let me know so I can give credit to you.
On top of some fabulous displays and lots of onstage information we had demonstrators scattered around the facility actually demonstrating some GREAT techniques. Here is Nancy Hawthorn showing her Easel Cards! They were just beautiful! She gave us many new twists and turns on how to make them our own.
Here is a cute one of her cute as a button daughter on her birthday made as a display item great way to showcase 6 x 6 scrapbook pages on your desk or shelf.
Here is Jessica Ingold showing us how to use recycled materials in our stamping! What fabulous ideas she had. I am definitely going to be implementing many of these ideas into my stamping this year!
Here's Rae Anne Litrell showing us some unbelievable flower techniques. Sorry Rae Anne I didn't get your beautiful face in this photo I was so in awe of your technique and all you were showing us!
Here is the card she was creating isn't it GORGEOUS!!
Here's Stacey Shaffer showing the Cracked Glass technique. Stacey was a rising star last year and her talent and magnet personality explains why. She is so enthusiastic. My biggest regret was not being able to get closer to her table to get pictures of all her designs there was always a crowd around her. She is very talented and had some beautiful cards on display.
These are just a few of the ideas we saw on Saturday! Too many to show today. But I have to show you what my second upline Kim Peck gave to each of us that helped organize the event this year. I was just stunned!! It just made it so fabulous! She had borrowed Kimberly Van Diepens bird board book to copy for each of us! Can you believe it?! Come back tomorrow and I will reveal this whole book to you so you too can be inspired.
