Stamp Studio Make Over by the Garner's

2012-01-29T19:43:00.001-05:00

Last year Stampin Up offered a make over for one lucky demonstrator's stamp space, you had to video your stamp space and they would choose from the entries. Well here is a video of the makeover that Shelli Gardner and her family did for Tamzin Cochran from Austin, TX. See the drop leaf table on the right that is where I got the idea that it would work in my stamp studio and I found one on Craig's list last week and later found two chairs that I will paint before I put pictures on line for you. Thanks for looking and stay tuned for new ideas in my stamping space. Frances

If you read or follow my blog you may have noticed that I decorate my foyer table in seasonal fun things that I mostly make or sometimes purchase and add something to do with Stampin' UP! on it.

I saw this on Pinterest but the person (can't remember where it was to give her credit) only punched out hearts and I did that and added Real Red cardstock behind the punched out hearts and then added the LOVE letters cut from the big shot Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits dies #115951. I tore out pages from an old paperback book that had aged some (that made it perfect) and strung it on Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine #123125.

Thanks for stopping by!

This is our theme this year. MY WAY!

MANAGER'S RECEPTION
The acrobats were amazing.

This is a pic of myself on the left and Nancy Lewis my room mate during the reception.

This is my friend Jeria Coleman and myself at the reception. What a good time we had.

It is a ritual among demonstrators that room together to make each other a roomie gift. This is a cute mug hugger that Nancy made for me. I love it!

I made the notebook below to write her notes in at the conference.

This is our little group at one of the general session. Front left to right Sandy, Nancy, Me, Nola; back row, Jeria, Peggy and the other two were demonstrators we didn't know.

The waffles at our hotel were in the shape of Texas,. Love it.

Thanks for stopping by. I will have samples later this week.

I'm Back....... from leadershp

2012-01-22T02:52:00.000-05:00

Remember the Alamo, how can we forget it and the wonderful time we had in San Antonio, it was a fun packed busy 3 days.

Nola and I met for lunch (we have been internet SU friends for years and we finally met last year in person at the leadership conference in Nashville) and we made sure we got together again. This was a Mexican Restaurant on the Riverwalk. I forgot the name of it.

Below is Nola and my room mate Nancy whom I had never met before this conference. We had a great time and know we will go again next year.

Here we are all doing the make and take projects, what fun. I don't have a picture of all of them but will pull a few I took at the event.

We were in line to go into the make and take when the guy at the door ask us if we would like to be at the VIP table with Stampin UP employee PAM MORGAN? Of course we were thrilled to be asked. We had such a good time. Pam not only works in the home office but is a Stampin UP demonstrator. We all had a great time and laughed and got to know each other. Left to right (me, Peggy, Nola, Pam, Mary, Jeria)

When we sat down at the table they had this cute, cute box of handmade chocolates that a SU employee had made for all of us. How sweet.............. truley it was delicious. We also go the cutest portfolio that I posted earlier this week that matches our bag.

REMEMBER SAB BEGINS TUES. I will be placing an order Tuesday morning so if you would like to add my order just let me know and let the fun begin and don't forget the "FREE STUFF" for every $50 you order before shipping and tax.

To add to my order call me at 919-334-8800
or
email wagstamp@bellsouth.net
or you can order directly from my website at www.franceswagner.stampinup.net 24/7

Stay tuned I will be posting more this week. Thanks for stopping by.

Managers Reception

2012-01-19T00:55:00.001-05:00

Tonight we went to the Lila Cockrell Threater at the convention center and saw Chinese Acrobats of Hebie that were stacking chairs, hat juggling, pole climbing antics. Cool show, fun night.

Earlier today at our make and take session we received this darn cute porfolio. This matched our bag we got yesterday and I am loving the new fabric that will be in a future catalog.

This is the reason I LOVE coming to leadership each year. If you are on my team I would love for you to come with me next year and if you are thinking about becoming a Stampin UP demonstrator contact me for a special starter kit price of $125 during Sale A Bration starting on January 24th.

NOTE: to stamp club members and upcoming hostesses you are going to LOVE the new samples I have and new ideas for you to try. Stay tuned for new samples when I get home and get them on my desktop computer.

Thanks for stopping by and drop by again tomorrow to see what new ideas I have to share.

On my way to Stampin UP Leadership Conference

2012-01-17T09:57:00.002-05:00

Today I am leaving for San Antonio, Tx for leadership conference. I look forward to this all year and can't wait to see my demo friends from across the county that I keep in contact with on the internet. I will be coming home with new ideas, classes and projects to share with you! Stay tuned for blog post and pictures from San Antonio! YEEHAW! Deep in the heart of Texas....

Leadership Treat Swap

2012-01-16T02:29:00.000-05:00

I have been working on my swaps for SU Leadership swaps today and this is a fun swap that I am in for treats.

I choose this little cookie box that I had from a sample about 5 years ago and I can't believe I found it. I did have to adjust it to make my individually wrapped cookie to fit. Of course the original box was put together a little different and it was a children's project but it just shows you that you can change stamps, ink and cardstock color and accessories and you get a wonderful different look each time. Using our scoring tool made it soooooo much easier.

Stamp set: PS I love you
Cherry Cobbler ink, cardstock, baker's twine; dsp paper from twritterpatted collection; pinking hearts border punch.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for blog reports from leadership!
