Sweater Weather Sneak Peek

Hello!

I hope your week is going well!  I am back from a fabulous time at our 25th Anniversary Convention!  I’m finally beginning to get back into the swing of things.

I saw this sketch from my friend, Amy, over at Freshly Made Sketches, and knew it would work perfectly with a new stamp I received at convention.

Here’s what I came up with:

Now, you may recognize the sneak peek of some new designer paper from the Holiday Catalog, called Sweater Weather.  I also used the new Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder from the Holiday Catalog.  But, what you may not recognize is the stamp.  It is a Stampin’ Up! exclusive stamp, but you won’t find it in any catalog.  It’s a special stamp that was given to all of the Senior Executives and above last week at a special event at Convention.  Isn’t it beautiful?   At each major Stampin’ Up! event, they have a special gathering for all demonstrators that are at the title of Senior Executive or above and this year’s event was extra special!  We got an hour and half to spend looking at all the displays and product booths before the big crowds came in later.  It was wonderful!  And, as we were leaving to go in early to the first general session in our special reserved seating up front, we were given a beautiful box full of goodies!

Here’s my friend (and up-upline), Jann McCollom, and I with our beautiful boxes.

Here are the 3 things that were inside:

Isn’t the necklace beautiful?  It was engraved with our convention theme: “Be the Difference”.  Notice the box of chocolate caramels is empty…. hmmm….  I wonder what happened to those???

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
