Convention Make & Take Pennant

So, while I was getting ready for my big Retired Stamp Set BOGO event, I wanted to display one of the Make & Take projects from Convention....Oh, how I love this!!  There is a matching card box that goes with it....that will be on my TO DO list the next time I get some quiet time away from the kids!

Here is the AWESOME pennant that we got all the supplies & directions for!


Can you see the pinwheel made from the Timeless Portrait paper (on the left?). I also love how the cards can hang off the hemp twine....I am definitely going to use this idea to display cards moving forward!. What I REALLY like is this whole pennant matches the colors in my dining room (I have it hanging on my hutch) It just might stay there for awhile so I can gaze at it everyday!

Speaking of my BOGO event, want to see the craziness that is my Dining Room today??


...and that's only part of it!

Yep, the kids ate in the playroom tonight!!

If you're in the area....the second half of my sale is doing on right now until 8:00pm this evening! Grab some great, Retired stamp sets and then use that amount towards some NEW stuff....WOO HOO!!

Well, I'm Off to do some BOGO-ing!

Join the FUN!

Do you love stamping?
Do you want to attend MORE stamping events?
Would you like to receive event kits in the mail if you can't attend?
Do you want to make new friends in the Stamping Community?
Would you like to get a discount on Stampin' Up! products ALL the time?
Would you like to receive a monthly magazine FILLED with ideas and inspiration? Have access to exclusive websites?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above -- read on! There's something exciting for YOU!!

The Heartfelt Stampers & Me
I am part of a fabulous team named “The Heartfelt Stampers”.  Being a part of a large group of inspired, creative and wonderful women is a great place to be!  Whether you just want to talk about a new project you’re working on or exchanging business building ideas…you’ll be sure to find someone who shares your passion and interests!
I am also always there for you! I chose to be a Full Time Stamp-at-Home Mom…for me, the best choice for my kids AND for me!  I look forward to our group meetings and events, not only for the stamping opportunities but for the friendships and adult conversation that comes with it!  I started out as a “hobby demonstrator” a few years ago and joined Stampin’ Up! for the hugely discounted starter kit and for the VAST amount of inspiration and project ideas that Stampin’ Up! and it’s community offers.  Being “just a hobby demonstrator” is WONDERFUL! But, I can tell you, if you are looking for “more” that can be yours too! Join me in trying to earn the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip to Fiji in 2013!!
But, whatever your goals are,  I would love to have YOU give our group a try. There's NO commitment. NO obligation. Only opportunities should you choose to partake!
And right now there is so much going on to "sweeten" the deal.... Read on to learn more about it!

Stamp Fests
3 times a year we have a "Stamp Fest" where we get together and stamp the day away! Our next Stamp Fest is coming up on August 6th - next Saturday!!!
Since we just returned from Stampin' Up!'s Convention, we will be using this Stamp Fest to bring Convention back to everyone who couldn’t attend! We'll have several classes throughout the day showcasing some of the fabulous projects taught there. In addition, there's Prize Patrol Giveaways, Product Demonstrations and More!

If you live local - I hope that you'll join the Team so that you can attend either this event, or another similar one in the future! If you love long distance - then you're able to participate in ALL of these events by mail so that you don't have to miss a thing!!!!! Long Distance kits include all of the supplies and a DVD of the presentations.
Discounted Stamp & Chat
All Team Members are able to attend my monthly Stamp & Chat at a $5 discount! That means that you can come and create 6 cards each month for ONLY $10.00.
This is a great way to help you build your samples and learn more about stamping and products.
If you live too far away to attend in person, long distance "on the go" kits are available for this as well, at the same discounted price!

Stamping Retreat Weekends
One of the BIGGEST highlights of being a Heartfelt Stamper is the ability to join us for our Annual Stamping Retreat Weekends that take place every October!
This 3 day retreat is an opportunity for Team Members near and far to join together. We have girls driving hours to get there, and some flying in to join us! It's WORTH it!!!! The weekend is so affordable - it varies, but is right around $140 for all of your classes for the weekend AND lodging!!! Which makes it easier for our long distance girls to be able to swing it and join us, plane ticket and all.
We are finalizing our Registration for the retreat over the next couple of weeks - which means that there's time for YOU to join us and join in on the retreat fun!
The retreat will take place October 7th - 9th.
 $99 Kit Starter Kit Special
To join our Team, it is normally $175 - but you get SO MUCH for your money.... over $380 worth of product!!!
That option is always available, but right now, there is a special, smaller kit available for just $99!
That means that for just $99 (which you're spending on PRODUCT of YOUR choice, it's NOT just a joining fee) you can be a part of it all! 
FREE Christmas Keepsake Kit!
AND -- if you join by the end of July, you get this BEAUTIFUL Christmas Keepsake Kit for FREE!!!! The photos just don't do it justice. I had the opportunity to see it in "real life" at Convention and it is BIGGER and BETTER than I thought.... it's simply stunning!
It was designed by Shelli Gardner herself, and is a $40 value including a NEW STAMP SET from the NEW HOLIDAY MINI and everything else you need!

FREE Ribbon or Fabric Share!
And as if THAT wasn't enough, I'm personally offering that in addition to the normal Welcome Folder and hand stamped welcome card and hand stamped welcome gift that I give each of my new Team Members, I will ALSO give you a FREE Ribbon or Fabric Share for joining by the end of July!!!
What do you have to lose?
Ask yourself! You don't owe me or the company anything for giving it a try. The WORST case scenario is that you decide it isn't for you and quietly slip off the Demonstrator List. Meanwhile, you've gotten some great products at a great price and enjoyed some fabulous perks. So REALLY.... what do you have to lose?
Click HERE to see more details about the $99 kit -- but remember that the kit is FULLY customizable, so even what is listed can be changed for anything of equal or lesser value!
For More Information
Call me at 716.568.4362 or  e-mail me at raeannskerrett@hotmail.com.  You can also sign up online by going HERE. Remember, to take advantage of all the great “extras” listed above, you need to purchase your starter kit by July 31st.

I hope that you can join in on the fun!

Convention Fun with Fabric

(Tired about hearing about the Stampin' Up! Convention yet?? I hope not...because I have SO much more to share with you! If I haven't said it enough...you just HAVE to go to Convention 2012 if you get a chance!!)

I don't know about you, but I am in LOVE with the Designer Fabric that Stampin' Up! came out with. I love the patterns, I love the assortment...and I love the project ideas that we got to see at Convention...

Everything from a simple apron (notice the NEW fabric??)

....to a super cute marker holder! I am SO making this for my kids. Simple...and you only need to sew straight lines (something I can actually do!)

Not sure how well you can see this one...but it's a message board using the Timeless Portrait fabric. LOOOOVVVEEE IT!

What I also enjoyed was that besides TONS of card samples (those I will be sharing some of too..don't worry!) There were so GREAT fabric project displays...

This picture uses the Springtime Vintage fabric

(Click the pictures to enlarge).
There is a sweet and oh-so-pretty grouping of items using the Beau Chateau line

(NEW Fabric Alert!!)
This one is called Spice Cake that will be available in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog


(NEW fabric alert!!)
How about Holly Berry Bouquet?

If you haven't had a chance to discover the Designer Fabric that Stampin' Up! offers, check out page 196 in your 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  You can see all the yummy designs and fabulous colors that are available.  Remember, your fabric WORKS WITH YOUR BIG SHOT...so you can use the dies to quilt, add fabric embellishments to your scrapbooks and cards...and SO MUCH MORE.  If you have any questions about the fabric or any of the project you've seen here, feel free to contact me!

+One

Now, Stampin' Up!'s theme for this year is "+One"...They are challenging us to  kick everything up a notch and do one more workshop....or create one more fabulous project with our customers.  So, in the spirit of +One I am going to share one more picture from Convention with you. 

As Demonstrators we were able to sign up for a special +Fun class one of the evenings.  I chose the "Village of Cuteness" class. I read the description and KNEW it had my name written all over it!! Here's what we made....

How adorable is this??

We painted blocks of precut wood and adorned them with all the delicious papers (including the WOOD SHEETS) and other fun embellishments to create our village.  My plans are to decorate my little village up for the holidays with some of the new Mica Flakes and Jingle Bells that are coming soon...wait, did I just let some new product announcements spill out???

Oops.

I have SO much more to share with you....please keep coming back to see!
You WON'T be disappointed..

Convention Eye Candy




I've learned since being at the Stampin' Up! Convention for the first time last week, that when you see this sign (above) you are going to have your senses taken away from you!  The creativity and inspiration is beyond amazing.  Today I thought you'd like to see some of the awe inspiring displays and vignettes that we got the privilege of looking at (and talking TONS of pictures of!)

This was hanging over the center of the vignette display area.  That, my friends, is ALOT of gorgeous, yummy ribbon!! What I love about it...how it's hung from a simple branch. LOVE it!

Each little area highlighted a specific product suite. Watch out for the NEW product suites along the way! Here is the Paisley Petals area.

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!! Here is the Flirtatious product suite. 

How cute are they paper flowers made from DSP (Designer Series Paper)

"Just Add Cake" suite...LOVE the banner!  Made with our NEW Pennat Die!

"Well Worn"....

Check out these boots!!!

Okay, "Berry Blossoms" is probably one of my favorite product suites in the new catalog.  Check how how insanely CUTE this is...

...little paper strawberries!!


Doesn't this make you get excited about making Valentine Cards??
I am SO finding a little lantern like this and copying this idea!!

This is the vignette from the "Domestic Goddess" product suite.SO cute, fresh and fun!

...And who doesn't like a good baby display? The "Nursery Nest" suite is just perfect for this display!


 I'm going to end my little Show & Tell today with a Product Suite that I honestly didn't love before I left for Convention....and came home in LOVE with!! (See, that's how they getcha'!)
 

This super cute bird was made out of the "Timeless Portrait" DSP.  We actually got to play with the fabric during our Make & Take Projects (Just WAIT) until you see them!!  

Another small vignette using Timeless Portrait.

So, have I inspired you enough for today?? I have a bunch more pictures to share that feature fabrics, card idea and the +FUN class I took...."Village of Cuteness".

I hope you'll join me again tomorrow!
