Today was the regional seminar. It was a FANTABULOUS day of swapping, stamping and lots of fun! There were so many awesome presentations. Of course, no stamping event is complete without stamping and FREE STAMPS! All attendees received a pack of Glitter Brads and the awesome Day of Gratitude stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog—an absolute must have, in my opinion! I love fall stamps - my favorite season. I only got to complete two of the projects today as I spent much of the stamping time socializing with my stampin' friends, taking pictures and swapping cards. You can see the two finished ones at the end of this post. I did change them up a bit from Stampin' Up!'s design. I had to make them my own! I will post the rest of the projects this week as I finish them.
I was also lucky enough to win a door prize - the oh, so cute Tags til Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini. That's still not all! I was thrilled to find out that I won a $50 Stampin' Up! shopping spree when Bonnie Thurber chose me for the Best Swap Card at the Regional! Wahoo!
It was also great to see my upline Melody Bias who moved away a couple of years ago, so we don't get to see her very often. Here is a picture of those of us from Mel's team who attended (me, Melody, Tami Shortall and Sarah):
After the seminar, a group of us went to the Hard Rock Cafe including Holly who did a great Workshop Wow on stamping with a bleach and smooch spray mixture. I am sure I will be doing a card with this technique soon!
I just love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. It is so fun and rewarding! My life has been so blessed by Stampin' Up! and all the friends I have met through Stampin' Up!
This project is a sleeve to fit over a bag of treats.
