I am back from Convention and WOW, OMG was it fun! I had heard lots of people talk about Convention and say how amazing it was. I can honestly say that it was just what I expected and hoped for. The 3 days were filled with lots of fun, music, ideas, demonstrations, more ideas, dancing, and more! I have so much to share with you....but I will start with sharing Day 1;)
We started our journey from Elk Grove, CA to Salt Lake City UT on Wednesday. It took us 11 hours to get there! That is 11 hours with constant potty brakes, lots of DVDs for my 2 and 3 year olds and lots of snacks. This was what the road looked like for about 10 of those hours. Oh my goodness, it felt like we were on a treadmill...moving forward but not getting anywhere :) LOL. My husband and kids are the best to tolerate all that for me. Thanks a bunch!
When I checked in on Thursday I was greated with treats! We received a Convention bag in a fun summery pattern. Inside were lots of goodies including 3 stamp sets (2 from the new catalog and 1 from the Holiday Mini that will be out in September) and a matching wheel. These are my new favorites sets. They even had multiple display boards showing tons of samples with these sets.
Of course, no visit to Convention is complete without vising the Momento Mall. The Momento Mall is like a souvenir shop for SU. They have a ton of cute stuff...but it sells fast! By the time I was ready to buy some of the stuff I wanted was sold out. Oh well, it is okay. I got this cute craft bag that will be really handy. It has lots of room for ink pads, punches, and even my 12" paper cutter and supplies. Isn't it cute!
Naturally there had to be some stamping at Convention. In day 1 I attended a Make and Take workshop were we made the projects below with my new stamp sets. We used lots of cool techniques to make these including sponging, using markers, tearing, versamark ink. I will give you lots of details throughout the week to these. For my club girls, a couple of these will be your projects this week!
This was just day ONE. I have lots more to share with you. Come back this week for more pictures and product ideas!
Plus, I will be announcing new Class Kits by Mail and Product Shares tommorrow. Stay tuned.
