What an honor it was to have her come present to us!  And I was lucky to have her stay with me for five days!  I'll be posting separately about some of our adventures while she was here!

Here are some pictures from the Stamp Camp!

Here is Bonnie helping me set up, and wouldn't you know it, the air conditioning in the room was broken that day!

Bonnie had a captive audience!  I received many thank you emails after the event thanking me for having Bonnie come and share her wealth of knowledge with us!

Here are some pictures of the days attendees!

My group that were able to attend, The Pacific Stampers and Bonnie!

A few of my favorite stamping sisters!  Thank you Kristina for the beautiful lei that I am wearing, and thank you Connie for the beautiful tulips (I enjoyed them for several days after camp and now have a beautiful vase) and thank you Melissa for the beautiful bulletin board!

And special thanks to Naoko and Jane who helped me so much with preparing for the camp and the day of!  I couldn't have done it without them!!

And last, but not least, the projects!

Color Combo Flip Book

Naoko designed this darling Easter Bunny Basket project and also made the pretty favors for everyone!

Jane designed this oh-so-cute Matchbox Chest of Drawers project!

Thanks Tish for taking and sharing your pictures with me and the rest of you for attending and making the day so much fun!  Hope to see you all again soon, and if not at our next demonstrator Stamp Camp, which will be held in March 2011!

Pacific Stampers Demonstrator Stamp Camp Invitation

Everyone gets a personalized bag when they arrive.  Brenda always makes a creative welcome sign for us, and this time was no exception!

She also makes beautiful favors for everyone!

We always have great door prizes!

Here are some of the happy winners!

We also have a table full of great samples for everyone to ooohhh and aaahhhh over!

Krista demonstrated the new punch style and showed several projects using the new punches!

We had four great projects!

Which resulted in a lot of happy stampers!

Thanks to my Pacific Stampers who work so hard to make the day so much fun for all!

If you would like information on attending one of our future events, please feel free to call or email me!

You'll notice that in addition to our regular Stamp Camps, we have a couple special camps planned.  May is National Scrapbooking month, so we will be doing a special Scrap Camp that month.  October 2 is World Wide Card Making Day, so we have a special Card Camp planned that day.  And you won't want to miss our Fifth annual Holiday Stamp Camp!  Invites will be sent out approximately six week before each of these events!  Call or email me for more information.

My picture just does not do this great bag justice.  I love the colors and the "Do What You Love" design!

I also got a Do What You Love journal from my SAM.

We also got several free stamp sets!  Love them all!!

The Managers Reception was held at the Corona Ranch and we received the Love Bandit
stamp set as a gift that night.

In addition to the gifts that we received, we had the opportunity to buy some logo items in the Stampin' Up! Memento Mall.  I bought the Designer Ribbon Watch, some Sweet Pea Reusable Shopping Bags…

And the Pink Flamingo Beach Towel and Flip Flops!  Too cute!

If you would like information on attending Leadership and partaking in all the fun,
please feel free to call or email me!

I invited some other demonstrators to come over and enjoy the Front Row Regional with me!

We watched the DVD and it was just like having Shelli and the other presenters right in the room with us!

We stamped the projects, ate tons of food, and everyone brought projects to share.

Here are the projects that we made.  The first is an 8 x 8 scrapbook page and the project on the right is a little holiday gift box.  All projects used the Berry Christmas stamp set found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Next we made these cute little mini note cards.  I usually don't stamp my envelopes, but the directions had that and I love how much it added to the projects.

And finally, two holiday cards.  I don't know how I'm ever going to have naked envelopes again!

I returned recently from the annual Stampin’ Up! Convention and had an absolutely fabulous time!  In addition, to the great things that I learned and the upcoming new products that Stampin’ Up! has in store for us, I had a wonderful time with my downline and my friend from other groups around the country!  Here are some pictures!

The new tag line for Stampin’ Up! is Create.Inspire.Share.  From left to right, Steph, Jane, me, Naoko, Lorinne, Sonya (standing), Jenn (kneeling), Nancy and Shelby!

Here we are again on awards night.  Naoko and Jane earned awards in the Demonstrator of the Year category.  Stampin’ Up! recognizes and awards the top 100 demonstrators in this category.  Naoko came in at number 79 and Jane came in at number 84!  Jane also earned the Rising Star award and came in at number 12!  Congratulations to them both!

As part of the award for earning a DOY spot, Naoko and Jane are going to Founder’s Circle and also got these darling bags!

Here are some of the group with Beary the Build a Bear Mascot.  More about Build a Bear to come in a future post!

We had shirts made for our group that said p.s. i love you.  Our group is the Pacific Stampers.  Here are Sonya, Lorinne and Jenn.

On Friday, Shelli demonstrated a new Simply Adorned product line that we have coming out soon (more about that too in a future post!).  She made some charms and then gave them away (like door prizes)!  Steph (our disengaged group member) won one and gave it to her upline Naoko!  What a treasure, Steph and the charm!!

Here I am with two of my favorite friends on awards night!  Debbie and Dawn are from the east coast, and I would never have met them if not for Stampin’ Up!!

Dawn has a fabulous downline!  Here are just two of them that I absolutely loved!  Kelly and Jody!

From left to right, Nancy, Karla, Dawn, me, Debbie, Jenn and Rachel!

Here we are at Takanashi enoying a fabulous Japanese meal in downtown Salt Lake City!

It was a wonderful time and fun was had by all!  If you would like information on attending a future Convention, let me know!
