I want to share the cards I took for the Stampin’ Up! Convention 2014 Swap. These cards were very popular. In an upcoming blog, I will explain how to make these cards. They are very easy to make. I will give you a hint on the nail polish card: Owl Punch. So if you don’t have this verstile punch you need to contact me and order it. You will see many uses for this punch coming soon.
Okay to me this was very special. Thursday evening the Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have an opportunity to tour Stampin' Up! Headquarters. We are taken out there on a bus. I am able to walk through the building where ideas are born. I walked throught the part where all the wonderful Stampin' Up! Support accepts our calls. They are always ready to help. They had cards out for us to take pictures. Again, more pictures and more ideas. 
This is is just a sample of the desk covered in cards. Next stop distribution. How else would we get our wonderful Stampin' Up! products? They always to get our products to us so quickly. 
What a wonderful building that helps us to develop our ideas. The next stop was development ideas take place. 
This rock greets us at the drive to Stampin' Up Headquarters in Riverton, Utah, 
Off to convention!!! Ye! Ye! I was looking forward to this. I was not disappointed. I took 100 cards to swap. Hence, this is why I have been so busy. However, you will benefit with all the great ideas plus the free stamps that I received. Before the convention I joined Lisa Presto presentation about Stampin' Up! This was followed with Stampin' Pretty swap with Stampin' Pretty Pals. You see I am part of Mary Fish's Stampin Pretty Pals. She is one of the top producers for Stampin' Up and personally benefit from her expertises. I received lots of great cards to share with you. This is a picture of Lisa and Mary.
Convention started the next day and it was electric. I felt like deer in headlights. You walk into the Salt Lake Convention Center and people were trading cards right and left. In another hall, tons of cards were on display and we could take pictures. Boy did I ! The day always started with presentation with lots of information on what is going on at Stampin' Up! This was followed by classes were could learn and make it. Again great information. There is another area where there is the "Make and Take". I made a box with the new Gift Box Punch Board and worked with the new Blendabilities.

Thursday night was a special night so I do that one in Part 2. I will skip to Friday night which was Award Night. This is where the top producers are recognized by Shelli Gardner (President) and Stampin' Up!. I took notice of these people so I could check out their blogs. Thinking I would get ideas to help you be successful in your Stampin' Up! endeavors. Here is a picture of me with Shelli Gardner. 
This was taken at the After Party.
We still had one more day of convention. I hated to see it end. I forgot to mention that they do Prize Patrol which gives away stamps. I didn't win, but got free paper. It was a fun time!
Here is another picture. See Part 2 for the Thursday night. 
The above picture is the card swap Wednesday night. Remember you could be here if you join me as a Demonstrator.
