I am home after having an AMAZING time at Convention in Salt Lake City! I am tired and struggling with a little jet lag but it was TOTALLY worth it!! It was great to see all of my friends from all around the U.S. and to meet new ones too! This year was especially exciting for me, I was awarded the #4 RISING STAR AWARD! I am SO excited! It took a lot of (fun) hard work and dedication to earn this award. Thanks to all of my stamping friends for their love and dedication to me and stamping! I couldn't have done it without all of you!
Here I am finding out if I received an award...I was VERY NERVOUS!!!! As you can tell by the look on my face!!!!
This is a little more relaxed after I found out I did!!
And then me on stage receiving the #4 RISING STAR AWARD during Awards Night!!
Here is my roommate, Whitney Banning, and I just before the start of Awards Night. I was so glad to have her as my guest for the night...she kept me somewhat calm and held my hand during the Rising Star Awards! They started at #15 and I was on the edge of my seat each time they called a name!!
I will have more pictures to share with you through the week of Convention! I can't show them to you all at once :) Although, I can't leave you with out showing something I stamped. I actually stamped this the night before I left for Convention. It is Whitney's gift for being my roommate. It was her first convention and I loved giving her something special. I had a great time with her and I hope she comes again next year!
This is the covered notebook I made for her...
This covered notebook uses some great new items from the NEW Idea Book & Catalog. The DSP I used to cover the notebook is called "Love Letter" it is one of my favorites. I coordinates with the NEW stamp sets Artistic Etchings and Notably Ornate. I also used those stamp sets to add some color to the paper. See those little rhinestones!!! Those are new stick on rhinestones and they add just the bling you need!! Thanks to all of the demonstrators who loved my notebook during convention. Whitney and I received a lot of compliments and if you have any questions on it please let me know!
Keep checking back this week as I have more to share with you!
