Grandma's Rocking Chair - August 2, 2015 - Mini Stamping Convention

Today we just finished up my Mini Stamping Convention.

So what is a mini stamping convention.  It is just like the Stampin' Up! convention but a lot smaller.  We have classes, make and takes, bag give a ways and even prize patrol.  It started last Thursday with Opening Session and I had classes all day on Friday and Saturday and today was closing session.

Here are a few of the classes we had.

This was from the Black and White Class

 This was from the How to make boxes of all sizes.

 Then of course we had the Wrap a Chocolate Bar Class.

 This was from the What to do with Designer Series paper

 This was our Opening Session Make and Take.

 This was from the Man Card Class

 This was from the Single Layer Class

 This was the closing session make and take.

Everyone had a good time and it was fun making everything.

Next year you should join we will do it live but I will also send you the kits if you can't make it.

Don't forget about the Great Newsletter Contest.

In August I will be having a contest for all my Newsletter Subscribers.  I will be giving away a fun Stamping Basket to a lucky winner of my drawing.  For every Newsletter you open you will be entered into a the drawing.  If I have four newsletters that month and you open them all you will have 4 entries.  If I put out a special newsletter and you open it that will be another entry into the drawing.

If you would like to play just sign up for my newsletter on the left hand column.  Pass it along to your friends. Must be US resident.

Happy Stamping

Grandma's Rocking Chair - July 20, 2014 - Mini Stamp Convention

Grandma's Rocking Chair today will be about the Mini Stamp Camp I just finished.

Since I did not go to the Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share Convention this year I thought we would have one here in Cheyenne WY.

We started out on Thursday with Single Layer Card Class which was repeated on Saturday.

Then there was a card layering class

Then I held an Advance Envelope Punch Board Class which was repeated on Saturday.  We made a match box pop up gift card holder. This was a harder class but was really enjoyed by those that took the class.

In the Evening on Thursday I had a Shaped Greeting card class, making two cards.

Then I did a very basic Blendabilities Class which was repeated on Friday.

Friday we had the Blendabilities again. But then we had a project life class.  take a look at what Valerie did with Project life.

Next we had Bags & Tags  This is just one creation.

Friday night we had Cards, Cards, Cards just come and create cards.  It was a fun time and a lot of work got done, we even stayed longer than planned.

Saturday was a repeat of a few classes plus it had one of our most popular classes.  The Paper Snowflake Class.

Today we finished up with the general Session.  Everyone who attended any class got a convention bag. It was filled with goodies.

The General Session had 2 make and takes.

Everyone who came to the general session received a gift plus we had Prize Patrol, that popped up a few times.

It was a fun time and I think everyone had a great time.  Next year I hope to be going to the Stampin' up! Inspire Create and Share Convention in Salt Lake City.  If you would like to go you can just join my team by clicking here.  It is a great deal to join the fun.  For $99 you will receive $125 worth of product of your choice.  That can even be the Big Shot.  Pay the same price as the Big Shot plus get $25 more products for your Big Shot. Best yet if you remain a Demonstrator you will be able to go to Inspire, Create, Share July 22 - 25, 2015 in Salt Lake City.  If you have questions please ask either comment here or e-mail me by clicking here.

Happy Stamping

Few Specials of My Own

I am having a few of my own specials coming up.

Be On My Team and Receive a Free Stamp Set and other Goodies

First one I really need to get a few folks on my team and June is a great month to do that with the $50 special - for $50 you will get $55 worth of Stampin' Up! merchandise that you choose or you can still do the $99 with $125 worth of Stampin' Up! Merchandise you choose.  But if you join my team by June 29th I will also send you the clear Stamp Set Creatively Yours a $14.95 value, plus a few other goodies.  

I really would like to participate in a new program for Stampin' Up! Leader to Leader but I need at least one more on my team to do that. Here is a little something about Leader to Leader - During each Leader-to-Leader cycle, participating demonstrators will choose a product or program to develop, from the ground up, alongside the Stampin' Up! staff. Demonstrators will not only play an integral role during the development, but will also help determine when and how the product or program is launched to other demonstrators and to customers. To sweeten the deal, participating demonstrators will also be the first to try product or test a program.

I really would love to be on this team and would love to have you on my team.  Whether you want to earn some money, or just pay for your habit or just get the discount I will help you out. To be on my team click here to check it out.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy! All for $19.95 which includes shipping.
