Haitian Relief efforts by Stampin’ UP! ®

On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. As a Stampin′ Up! Demonstrator, I can help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by selling, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.

Help make a difference! From now until February 28, 2010, $2 form every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set I sell will be donated to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount (block D recommended) #118571 $18.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount #117010 $26.95

Day 1 of Leadership

Like all Stampin' UP! Events you can't stand in line and wait for the doors to open without SWAPPING!! I have gotten some really good ideas for both Cards and 3D's that I will try to post when I get home. My 3D made it on the display board also.....how cute is this for a Valentine, not to mention it includes chocolate.

The theme is so perfect "Love What You Do" and it truly has reminded me why I love Stampin' UP! and everyone that I have met because of Stampin' UP! which is why I Love What I Do!!

Shelli's opening was moving as always and the demonstrations that were shown during General Session has given me a lot of cute ideas for classes and camps. Pam Morgan presenting some really cute crafting ideas.....but of course you can't make a craft without a little stamping.....how cute are these...... She made roses using Baby Socks and a Bunny with a white wash cloth.

We have gotten to see a lot of our new product that is now available in our Occasions Mini. Not only are we now offering positionable stamps and clear mounting blocks, but we have some great accessories, new punches that are redesigned for easy storing and great DSP that already has the glitz of Dazzling Diamonds.....Look for upcoming events that will showcase all of our great new products, not to mention Sale-A-Bration has started and it is a great time to earn those free stamp sets!!

At the end of our classes today, I hit the town for a bite to eat at Sam's Cafe with my friends from Tennessee Beth (Who I met at the Chattanooga 1/2 Day Regional where we had the opportunity to have breakfast with Pam Morgan) and her friend Angela. We also hooked up with fellow Demonstrators from D.C. and Canada.

Leadership 2010 Is Here

The Holidays are over and it is time to get back to business. What better way to start off the year then to attend Leadership in Phoenix, Az. Since this is my first Leadership I was so excited, but with 3 birthdays and Christmas last month I didn't not have a lot of time to make my swaps, but I had some time to kill at the airport so I was able to get them knocked out, only having to put the finishing touches on once I was on the plane :)

Once I landed and got checked into the hotel it was no time before I ran into a Demonstrator that I had the pleasure of meeting at the Chattanooga 1/2 Regional, it was nice to know that even though I came out here alone, you always have friends around the Country within Stampin' Up and now I don't have to eat alone. Looking at the display boards before my Make and Take session I found my Finished swap on the display board, how cool is that!!

Today is Opening session and I can not wait to see what they have in store for use. Keep a look out over the next few days, got to go SWAP!!!
