Stampin’ Up! Convention Day 2 Plus Blog Candy

Hi Everyone!

Wow are we having a great time at the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Salt Lake City.

In case you don’t know I have been rooming with the fabulous Sandi MacIver and Carole’ Anne Sluchinski.

We’ve decided that we would share a few of the high lights with you on a Mini Blog Tour of sorts. So please feel free to click on the link of my Stampin’ buddies!!!

Last night we went to the Over the Top Swap that Barbara Jackson puts on. The cards were fabulous and I will be sharing them with you in the next week or two.

For now I’d like to show you a few pictures of the event and showcase the winning card done by Carole’ Anne.

convention thursday 2 135

This card has hand made Aurum Lilies….OMG….is this not beautiful? Carole’ Anne did and outstanding job with this card…..it’s just gorgeous and her talents just amaze me. I’m so happy that I have one of these…lucky me!!!!!

swap cards and lns event 001

This is a card I did for a General Swap…..lovin’ that Chocolate Chip Fine Cosmos Glitter. I think I still have Glitter all over me from this one. hehe

swap cards and lns event 003

This was my Over the Top Swap for Barbara Jacksons event. My flower is made with the Circle Die and some Chiffon Fabric. Pretty, huh?

Here are Jill Kocherans and bonnie Thurber doing a little duet on stage.

This was so funny….they sang a song “Sisters” here…what a hoot!!!! It’s so appropriate as it sort of defined that we are all Sisters!!! Like the Feathers? they got a little fun with those!!!!

convention thursday 2 042

Bonnie just cracks me up!!!!! she is quite a character and I know that to be true as I had the pleasure of sitting with Bonnie on the bus ride at Leadership. She is so-o-o-o funny!!!

convention thursday 2 069

This was a cute card posted on one of the display boards…isn’t is sweet…love that new DSP!!!
