Just sharing an easy & fun Christmas card today ...

I LOVE the Merry Music Designer Paper in the Holiday Catalog.  It is so much fun and festive!  I had some extra pieces left over from the name tags I made for the last Suite Stampin' event I did.  Here's a pic of the name tags...

I decided to take some of the leftover pieces and make a card with it!  So fun, right?!  Such versatility with Stampin' Up! products!  I love all the elements...the fun gold glimmer snowflake, the foil snowflakes (flipped over so the vanilla side is showing), the ribbons..it just all makes me swoon!!!

And just saying again...I LOVE THIS PAPER!!!!  It's fantastic.  You probably need a pack for your holiday fun, so let me know if I can help get you some.  :-)

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you enjoy!!!  Let me know if you have any questions!

Getting Spoiled at On Stage...

Not only does Stampin' Up! spoil us with prizes and gifts at On Stage...I also have friends that do the same thing!!!!  I wanted to do a quick post sharing all the fun gift I received from friends while I was there.  Seriously...HOW TALENTED are they??!


Look at all these fun treats!  Love them all...such clever ideas!!!

This was from on of our TGIF Design Team leaders...homemade cookies in a Mason jar...oh for cute!!!!

Check out this show-stopper card...

This is how it opens up....I mean serious...SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!


And look at this cute thing...

 This was from my upline and was filled with Stampin' Up! products, treats, and other goodies!  

These were from my roomies....SO SPOILED!!!! ....


And this is from a dear friend of mine, Daune, that I met at a Stampin' Up! event a few years ago.  We became fast friends and I. Love. Her. To. Pieces!!!!  I cried when I opened this beautiful box...

The box is a work of art!  And look at what was inside...

She had a clear block ENGRAVED with my name and the event/year on it!  I mean...seriously...😍😍😍!!!

I truly was spoiled and I will cherish all of these gifts.  I am one lucky gal to have such amazing people in my life!!!! 💖💖💖

On Stage 2017...In Salt Lake...

Oh man.  What a blissful couple of days this On Stage event was!  I again want to just lead you on a photo journey through this event.  😀  Want to see what we were up to?!

First day...

Of course we take a lot of selfies.  Hee...


Waiting for Main Stage to start...


The doors open and the crowd goes crazy, the Stampin' Up! home office employees are there cheering and clapping for us...it's SO MUCH FUN!!!



I have such a fun team!  Love my gals!!! ...


The have so many fun photo op places...


Robyn had fun glitter she was putting on people's faces.  😁   We joked that we were "branded" by her...

Stampin' Up! started out by gifting us with a fun 30th anniversary bag and pin...because we are starting Stampin' Up!'s 30th anniversary year!!! 🙌

We also were given the new upcoming catalogs at this point!  The Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure!  They sure do know how to spoil us!!!

This was my upline, Brandi's, team that was there!  I'm in the back row!  SUCH a fun group of gals!!!

That night we had a fun CentreStage event...it's an event for the leaders.  They totally spoil us with a fabulous dinner and entertainment.  Check out the fancy...




I even got to chat with the co-founder of Stampin' Up! (I've had quite a few interactions with her throughout the years and I'm always so impressed with her sincerity and love she exudes.)
This guy was our entertainment.  Oh man...he had us all laughing like crazy...

2nd day... 

More selfies...
I met these girls in Thailand this summer.  I LOVE that I got a chance to reconnect with them at this event.  💓
(Ok...this was from Wednesday night but I forgot to include it and I love this photo!  So just pretend it was from the 2nd day.  Hee.)
This girl is SOOOOOO talented and was getting awards all over the place!  So proud of her!!!
This guy is lives less than a mile from me...but I didn't meant him until recently...and through Stampin' Up!  One more reason to be thankful for Stampin' Up!  😀

And lots more fun...

 Jumping photos are always my fave!  And look at this one that a Stampin' Up! photographer caught!  It was even on the highlights video.  SO FUN!!!

And this girl, my dear friend Sherri, and I ALWAYS take a jumping photo!  So much fun!!!
Sadly...one of my team members took quite a fall as Main Stage was starting.  So we ended up taking a trip to the EMT office!  

And of course we have stamping and make & takes at these events!  Look how cute my team is!  LOVE THEM!!!

A selfie with the CEO...Sara!!!  (Shelli's daughter)  She. Is. Amazing.  Love her fun and spunky spirit.  She makes me laugh and is also so genuine and loving.  💖
 This is the TGIF Design Team!  LOVE these girls and all our crazy!  😀
And of course dinner times together are always fun!!!!

3rd day...

Of course more selfies...



 Thanks, Snapchat filters, for some hilarious entertainment.




 I. LOVE. ALL. THESE. PEOPLE.  I seriously can't express how much gratitude I feel for having these people in my lives.  My heart is full.


While I was at a Leadership training class, my cute team all went out to lunch.  My heart was so happy that they sent me this pic of them hanging together!  LOVE THEM!!!

Ok...HAVE to share this experience.  Wendy is one of my fave peeps.  We have SOOOOO much fun together.  She's always up for whatever crazy, and comes up with some crazy on her own.  Hee.  Well...we decided to grab a few selfies while we were walking across the stage for some recognition.  We had to be quick, but we wanted both views.  So we quickly snapped a few...and then SHELLI LEGIT GIGGLED AT US!!!!  Then mentioned our crazy selfie taking antics afterwards!  It. Was. Awesome.  A highlight for sure!  Then Shelli's son in law showed me this pic after...

He's one of the photographers and I can't believe he caught this!!!  Total swoon!!!!

And the last photo as we were walking out of the convention center...

I TRULY do Love. It.  I feel so lucky to be apart of something so much bigger than some ink and paper (although that is pretty big as well!)

All in all, I can't believe these few days I had.  More fun than possible was had and I'm so grateful for the people, this company, and all my experiences there.  (And seriously...when Shelli blogged about it...I made THREE of the photos on her blog!  Check it out: http://www.soshelli.com/blog/2017/11/14/onstage-november-2017)

I would love to have you join with me! Let me know if you have any questions as to how!!!  Thanks for following along with me sharing my experiences!  😀
