More stamp club projects

I have two more cards that I cased this month.  One was from Tami White and I'm not sure who did the other one, but they were hits with my stampers.  Love the Butterfly Basics Bundle and the Lotus Blossom is the most popular Saleabration set this season.

Stamp Club Projects and Weekly Deals

So somehow the "Weekly Deals" moved to the right hand side of the blog.  Do you have things just rearrange themselves when you think you know where they are?  If I ever master all of this computer nonsense, I will be a happy camper.

I promised to share the projects that I have been doing for my stamp clubs this month so here are the three projects and a variation that I had to do as one of my members attended their stamp club and another workshop, too.

 Stamps

Sheltering Tree

Paper

Pool Party, Real Red, Whispering White

Ink

Early Espresso, Pool Party

Accessories

Square Framelits. Heart Border Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Rhinestones

This card was inspired by one that Dawn Olchefske put on her blog and Dawn Griffiths had posted several similar.  It uses the fun new Sheltering Tree stamp set and when I needed to do another for some that had already been to the workshop that I featured this at, I created a spring card to reflect the wonderful weather we have been having.  The ingredients for both cards are listed below each card.  I'll post the other cards that I have been doing tomorrow.

With all of this spring stamping, I am so happy that our weather has been spring like.  We have been setting records for warmth in the west.  So sorry for all the snow in Boston.  Couldn't happen  to nicer people.  Go Seahawks.  Hugs, Sherron

Lots of stamping events

It has been a busy three days.  Stampaholics Anonymous was so fun on Sunday with everyone catching up on their missed workshops and some stampers copying some of my swaps from leadership.  Monday was a wonderful day with the Impression Obsession Wild Women during their monthly stamp club.  Nancy did an awesome job with all kinds of Valentine decor and great salads, sandwiches and dessert.  I had so much fun that I forgot to take any pictures.  How bad was that.  Today I cleaned up and got ready for tomorrow's final stamp club of the month and continued to design or copy projects for the two classes later this month.  Talked with several of my downline and a former demonstrator who is thinking of rejoining.  Spent a little time on revisions to the compensation plan and started an info sheet on some great events that several demonstrators have shared that I think my downline could use.  Stay tuned for more pictures of this months projects after tomorrows workshop and some sneak peeks at some of my class projects.

Oh, and check out this weeks Weekly Deals by clicking on the "Weekly Deals" icon on the left hand side.  There are some great bargains.

Hugs, Sherron

Card Candy swap and Thanks

I mentioned that I was participating in a Card Candy swap while at Leadership.  I have never done anything like this before, but it was very fun.  At first I was concerned about being able to do a decent job in just 2 inches, but I was amazed at my swap and the ones that I got back in return.  These are perfect for putting on a card with a background paper or embossing folder and creating a simple but fun card.  What do you think?  Here is mine again.

And here are the ones that I got in exchange for the ones that I made to trade.  Aren't they so fun.  I think I may want to do this again.

I've been working to finish up my Paper Pumpkin treat bags to be used this week for my workshops and gifts to my family.  I gave away six of them at my school workshop this week and have a bunch more to give away.  I really love the January Paper Pumpkin and had such fun making these.  Now I need to make a few cards with the great stamps and Real Red ink that came with it.

I also got my February thank you notes made and added them to the orders I delivered today.  They will be in all of the orders that I deliver this month.  They were pretty simple but fun.

Stamps

Hello Life, Another Thank You

Paper

It is always fun to create something so simple and feel that I have actually been creative.  Hugs, Sherron

Leadership swap and Paper Pumpkin

Today was my monthly workshop at Olympic School.  I decided to get started on January's Paper Pumpkin kit and make a few little treats for the staff who attend the monthly workshops.  They all really appreciated the cute little Valentine treats.

Aren't they cute.  The package came with supplies for 24 different treat packs so I have 16 more to make for some other lucky stampers.

After making 50 swap cards to swap with stampers at Leadership, I still had a few odds and ends of supplies from making them and decided to finish them today.  I got some awesome swaps and will be using a bunch of them for my classes later this month, but thought you might enjoy seeing the cards that I made to swap.  Do you recognize the pretty Designer paper that I used for the background.  I won't list it in the supplies, but you will find it on the reverse side of the Saleabration cover on your Occasions mini.

Stamps

There were so many fun things that I learned at Leadership and I am looking forward to sharing a bunch of them with you.  Hugs, Sherron

Last of the Aerubbecisor swaps and more Leadership pics

Today was such a nice relaxing day.  I spent some time this morning visiting with one of my direct team members and showing her all of the wonderful swaps from Leadership and telling her about all of the changes to our compensation plan.  She shared her two very cute Valentines that she is doing with her daughter's school teachers.  Then it was time to sort all of my swaps and start putting them into set sampler's to use at my workshops.  I'll post some of my favorites in the next weeks.  I picked out several to include in my Birthday Blitz on the 28th and my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch on the 24th.  Here are the last two swaps from my January Aerubbecisor swap.

 Lovely Lace Embossing Folder with Lotus Blossom Stamp set by Laura Vilhauer

Lacey Brocade Embossing Folder with Flower Shop Stamp set by Verna Almer-Tidd

 This was the bag that we received at Leadership based on the Saleabration set "Best Day Ever"

 We had several all attendee giveaways and this was the Birthday Bash DSP that we received

 We got a sneak peek at the next two Paper Pumpkin kits which are awesome and received a past one free to share.

 Flying home on Alaska Airlines we got the Russell Wilson Chief Football Officer Seahawks plane.

 Everyone was dressed for the game including all of the flight attendents.

 The plane had interior lighting in Seahawks colors.

When we arrived back at SeaTac, there was a photo booth with props and #3 cookies handed out.

Leadership was such a great opportunity to learn and share and I came back enthused for the next year.  There are so many great promotions coming up.  I can't wait to share them all.  If you would like to know more about being an active part of it as a member of my team, just let me know.  I would love to include you in all of the fun adventures.  Hugs, Sherron

Crazy, crazy week

To say that the last week was a really crazy time is an understatement.  How did one week go so fast?  After non-stop classes and events at Leadership last week, I flew home on Sunday just in time for a Super Bowl party (we won't talk about that outcome), though I am so proud of my Seahawks.  Then it was racing to finish the preps for my February workshops and two stamp clubs on Monday and Tuesday.  Now I hope to have a little time to catch my breath and share some of the fun of leadership.  I have so many swaps and card candy pieces to share that it may take me all month to catch up. 

Monday was my Earlibird stamp club workshop and today I drove the 96 miles round trip to do the Fuzzy Pebbles.  It was a great return to reality, but fun times with some special friends.  I'll share the projects that I am doing this month after they are all done.  I have my Olympic school teachers and staff on Thursday and then two more stamp clubs next week.  Here are a few more of the Aerubbecisor swap cards for January.

Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder with Sheltering Tree Stamp by Darlene Almer

I should be able to finish up the Aerubbecisor swap cards tomorrow and start putting some of the great swaps on from Leadership.  I'm not sure how to post all of the fun times that we had in the last week, but here are a few pics of my good friend and roommate, Carol Sanderson and my wonderful direct downline, Christine Ekrem.  We had such fun at Hollywood Studios at DisneyWorld for our last manager's reception and shared some great times during Leadership.  More tomorrow.  Hugs, Sherron
