Stampin' by Genny's Blog

Today was the last day of convention.  Although I was tired I still did not want it to end.  So many great classes and so much fun!  It was hard to say goodbye but that’s okay because there’s next year.  Stampin’ Up!’s next convention dates are July 18 – 20, 2013.  Make plans to attend.  It’s sure to be a fantastic one.  Stampin’ Up!  will be celebrating 25 years in business.

It was also announced by the Richtar where the next destination for the Incentive Great Vacation.  Who’s the Richtar you ask will here’s a picture of him.  Richtar knows all and sees all.  For him to answer your question you have to insert a stamp.   Next Incentive Vacation is a – Western Caribbean Cruise.  It looks awesome.  I’m sure going to make it a goal to win it!

the Great Richtar, aka Rich Jutkins, President of Stampin’ Up!

pay him in stamps and he’ll tell you what you want to know – Like where is the next great vacation

The last session before it was all-over was so fun because we viewed more stamping projects demonstrated by Sara Douglass and Carrie Cudney.

The projects presented by Sara were all about creating gifts with jars.  Such cute projects.

Carrie Cudney revealed she plays the bagpipes.  She came out with her brother playing.

Her presentation focused on flowers.  She demonstrated making all kinds of flowers featured in the new Idea and Catalog book.

The two step stamp set Stippled Blossoms was used to create this image.

She also demoed how to make these giant flowers with 12″ x 12″ paper.

Another fun activity  is PRIZE PATROL!  This is where they flash the color of your entry wrist-band on the screen and if it’s your color then you get a prize.  Today Erica and Shannon won!  However, we were all winners because of the great classes and because we all received 3 additional stamp sets.  We all received the Ronald McDonald stamp set Moving Forward, the I am stamp set commemorating convention and hostess set Mixed Medley.  So cool!  There were also other stamp sets and accessories given away.  Too many to mention.  That’s all I have for now but I will be posting more pictures of convention when I get home.  Here’s the link to the official convention video.  I can’t get the song out of my head.

So start making plans to attend next year – July 18 – 20, 2013.
