Tulle Flower Pin

 When I was on my Founder's Circle Trip with Stampin' Up! in September, I saw this flower pin on one of the Stampin' Up! Special Events staff and feel in love with it.  Selma, in Special Events, had made these for each one of her co-workers who also attended Founder's Circle.  They wore them on their aprons they wore and were super cute.  I asked Selma how she made them and gave me a quick explanation.  About a month ago I decided to make one and it turned out super cute!  I then made one for each of team members who attended the Stampin' Up! Lansing Regional a few weeks ago.  They all wore them during the event and we got asked many times how we did it. 

These are made with our 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon we are carrying in the Holiday Catalog right now.  You get 10 yards for $6.95 and I cut each piece 26", so you can get about 13 of these out of one package of ribbon!  That's awesome!  I used a heat tool to melt the edges of the tulle as you will see in the video I have for you.  You will also see the back in the video and I explain how I added the pin.

                     

I hope you enjoy watching the video on how to make one of these and make a few for yourself!  The Tulle is only available in the Holiday Catalog until January 2nd so be sure to stock up on this wonderful ribbon.  It also comes in two other colors, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso!   

You can place your order for the tulle at my online store 24/7 HERE!

If you have any questions send me an email and I'll do my best to help answer it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Swap

At Founder's Circle we have a great Business Share and Pajama Night.  During this time we also have a card swap.  This year we had to keep it 2 layers (plus the card) or less.  I received some beautiful cards this year and a couple I have already used for classes/club. 

Shelli Gardner & her daughter, Sara, also swap with us at this event.  They always have a combined swap but it is always beautiful.  I knew as soon as I saw this card it would be a great one to show at my next club.  I love showing them new techniques.  So here is their card...

You can see the glimmer but they used the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz for the bird.  The bird is from the Elegant Bird die and used a stencil.  The leaf is from the Gently Falling set which is a Two Step stamp.  The first stamp is embossed with Gold embossing powder and the second is stamped with Island Indigo Ink.  I just loved this card so I had to make one for my ladies but I didn't have the Gold Glow Spritz so I changed mine a bit...

I made my own spritz using our new Stampin' Spritzer bottles and added More Mustard re-inker, champagne mist shimmer paing and rubbing alcohol.  It turned out darker but still had the same effect.

I just love Shelli's vintage feel to her cards but yet simplicity of them! 

I am back to a normal week for me next week so I hope to stamp away and share more with you!

Have a great weekend!

Last Day of Founder's Circle

I had a nice time yesterday just relaxing and visiting with other demonstrators.  Had a great dinner last night at a Japanese Steakhouse and then some relaxing time at the pool.  It was a great way to end a perfect five days!

I don't have much to share with you today as I am getting ready to leave the hotel to start traveling home but I do want to share with you the pillow gift from last night.

This is a beautiful charm bracelet.  The little charm is a sand dollar on one side to go with our beach theme and the other side says "FC 2012".  Each year someone is award Founder's Circle they will receive another charm to add to the bracelet.  I LOVE this idea and from what I heard around the pool last night so does everyone else! 

Well I hope all my flights are on time today as I have some tight connections!  Now that our time here is done, I am anxious to get home to see my family!

I hope you've enjoyed my Founder's Circle journey.  Thanks for checking in!

Perfect Day at Founder's!

We got on the bus early yesterday morning to tour the Kanab Facility where our rubber stamps are manufactured and then to a surprise destination for our special event.

Kanab was wonderful as always!  Go great to see the amazing staff who work hard for us! I love the warm welcome we get when we get off the bus!!! 

When we got back on the bus we headed another hour to the Colorado River and did a slow raft 3 1/2 hour tour down through Glen Canyon!  It was amazing...

Looking back at the dam where we started and the other rafts. The other side of the dam is Lake Powell. And further down the river is the Grand Canyon.

These are my friends I got to enjoy this amazing experience with...Karen & Jackie.

Our guide was Brad and he made the experience even more enjoyable.  John Wesley Powell, who explored the Colorado River in 1869, was his idol and told us lots of stories which were fascinating.  Brad also played the guitar and sang to us...it was a perfect trip!

Afterwards we grabbed our dinners and they were in these cute little bags.  Since our rafting was so long and we had a 3 1/2 hour ride back to the hotel we ate on the bus with all our friends.

When we returned to our room these were waiting for us on our beds.  The perfect way to remember this day! 

This picture is of Horseshoe Bend which is a beautiful section of the Colorado River at Glen Canyon which we floated down yesterday.  Of course since we were floating we couldn't see this view but could see others at the top taking pictures down as this is a popular tourist destination and hopefully you can see in the picture why!

When I returned to the hotel I hit the hot tub for some relaxing with some friends and then played a wonderful game of water volleyball with great friends!  It was a great time and a VERY late night. 

It is more relaxing and maybe some stamping today.  Have a great Saturday! 

Founder's Day 2!

Today was a nice relaxing day.  I went shopping with my friends, Jodi & Georgia, to the local mall this afternoon.  Then we went out to an amazing restaurant for dinner, Anasazi.  They use hot lava rocks to cook your food to your liking after they have seared it in the kitchen.  It was really neat experience!  Here is the group of us...

Sara, Me, Jodi, Karen, Mom Pat (Shelli's Mom), Shelli & Georgia

It was a great dinner with some great friends with some good laughs!

After dinner we had our Business Share & Swap event while in our pajamas.  This is Kimberly and I with a new way to collect our swap cards from others.  It worked great!

Here is my swap!

I will share with you all the items on this cards another time.  It is getting late and we have a 7am-9pm day tomorrow taking a bus to Kanab and then a bus to our Final Event night.  It has to do with the beach theme we just don't know what yet but they always amaze us!  But I will share with you my pillow gift for the night...

The last blanket I received as a pillow gift, Lauren has claimed and I've never used it again.  This one is MINE and I am super excited!

My eyes are getting heavy...Goodnight all!

 

 

Founder's Fun

I am in St. George, Utah with 120 other top demonstrators from U.S. and Canada at the Founder's Circle Retreat.  I am having a great relaxing time and enjoying the company of friends and new friends!

This was our table place setting last night at dinner.  The theme this year is a beach theme and from growing up around a beach I feel at home! 

Each day we get to play Plinko...my FAVORITE game on Price is Right :)  Today I hit the "Full House" slot and I received all three of the Designer Series Packs you could win!  How fun!

Last night our pillow gift was the items to make our Make-N-Takes.  Since they consist of new product which will be out in the Occasions Catalog in January, I can't share the package on here but I can share the finished projects once I make them.

Here is another simple card I made for my Just Card class last week.  Super simple!

I hope to share with you after tonight's Pajama Night where we do a Business Share and our big swap, I will share my swap card with you.

Thanks for coming by!

Very Honored!

When I checked in at Convention on Wednesday I was presented with a letter with some VERY exciting news!  I was awarded the honor of being part of Founder's Circle 2012 which means I placed in the top 100 demonstrators in the U.S.!!  The last time I was part of Founder's Circle was when I was awarded Rising Start Award two years ago.  To be here at the top 100 was even more exciting!  I want to thank my customers, team members, friends and family for all their support over the past year to help my earn this award.  I wouldn't be receiving it if it was for all of you!  Here is a priceless picture of me when I finished reading my letter.  I told my friends no camera's but obviously they didn't listen :)

It was because of my team that I was awarded this Founder's Circle Award!  They worked so hard and I am pround of them!  This picture proves it!  Mandy and I got to celebrate this Leadership award together!

We were called in groups of 10 and these were the other amazing ladies that were called with me.  I am happy to say we were the first group called which calmed my nerves for the rest of the night!

Dawn took this picture of me while I was posing for Stampin' Up! for their Founder's Circle yearbook.

And me with my fabulous Founder's Circle bag that we were given during the Awards Night.

I also wanted to share a little bit of Memento Mall with you...

I think you can tell we had an AMAZING time at Convention this year! I love having my friends and team members at Convention!  Now to get things ready for my team meeting in a little over a week!
