Card class

Here are the cards that we did at card class yesterday.  There were 19 ladies here and we had a great day.

This first card is using a new set called Rejoicing With You.  Simple but elegant.

This horse is from the set Horse Frontier.  I used this card as one of my swaps at convention.

This card is a copy of a swap that I got at convention.

And sometimes I come up with my own designs.  The booties are from Baby Boutique.

This stamp set, Daydream Medallions, is one that we received at convention.

And here is this years Ronald McDonald set.  It's called Moving Forward and this year Stampin' Up! is donating $3.00 from every set sold to Ronald McDonald House charities.  It's on page 209 in the big book.

Here is a little candy bar wrapper.  The Floral Frames framelits were used to cut out the flower.  Then just score and fold up.  If you have a bigger candy bar just use the bigger framelit. 

This card is also a copy of a convention swap.  It doesn't show up much but the doily is cut out of the silver glimmer paper.  I've heard a lot of people complain about this sizzlet but I think that the more you use it the better it works.  Hope you've enjoyed these cards.

More Rubber Queens and a few goodies

Laurie, Kim, Kristy and Debbie.  They were having to much fun.

And another of Ronda, our wonderful leader.

Here's just a few of the goodies that we got. 

And here's a couple of the pins that I got.  The one on the right is the convention pin that everyone got.  The one on the left is my pin for recruiting and I will get another one for leadership.  Thanks Carrie for promoting twice this last year.

We're all having a ball at convention.  Everyone should come at least one time.  But then you'd want to come every year.  It seems like we've just started and tomorrow is the last day.  Last night was awards night and the Rubber Queens were very honored when Ronda was chosen again to serve on the Advisory Board.  And while I didn't get any big awards I did get a pin for recruiting and one for leadership.  And I get two free stamps sets of my choise out of the books.  I'm still not sure what I'll get.  Tonight was a free night so Sandi, Laurie, Eleanor and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for supper.  But I was the only one who got cheesecake for dessert.  I had the Key Lime and it was delicious.  I also went to the Pandora store and got a bracelet with one bead on it.  Now I can have the fun of adding to it.  Well it's almost my bedtime.  I've been asleep every night by 10:30.  I'll have to go home in order to rest.

Awards night at convention

One of the biggest thrills for people who win awards is Awards Night.  They get their prized announced and get to go up on stage.  These pictures are not the best because they were taken on the big television monitors.

Amy Frilici (sp??) won the Weekend Getaway.

Kim Vogel won the Weekend Getaway and was also a Rising Star.

Ronda Wade, Melissa Roberts and Tamie Ackerson won the Grand Vacation, which is a trip to Fiji.

And the best part was that Ronda was picked to serve on the Advisory Council again.  Here she's with Shelli Gardner, the head of the company.

We're having a great time but I wish there were more hours in the day.  By the time we get back to our rooms I'm so tired that I just go to bed.  Last night after the award there was a party but we only stayed long enough to get something to eat and drink and then we came back to the room.  But I have been taking tons of pictures so someday I'll get them posted.

Beautiful paper crafts

Here are some pictures of some of the paper crafts that are on disply at convention.

Sandi had a class tonight so I went back to the City Creek Mall and went to the Pandora store.  Anyone got a thousand dollars they'd like to give me?  But just for being in the store and mentioning that I was with Stampin Up! I got a Godiva Chocolate.  It was free.
