Salt Lake City Here I am!! Stampin' Up Convention 08

Left Sunday morning at 6:30am and landed in Hot, Hot, Hot Las Vegas. 6 Hours of driving. I drive my motorhome slow 55- 65, better on gas and safer..... Monday morning left at 6:30am and landed in Filmore, Utah, another 6 hours lots of up hill too.....Ok today left Filmore to Salt Lake City, Only 3 hours this time. The average driver can make it in around 10 hours in a car.

Here are some pictures of my co-pilots and my motorhome all set up at the KOA in Salt Lake City. I put my Stampin' Up banner in my front window in case there might be others Demo's in their motorhomes.

Swap #6 Done!!!

This card was inspired by Dawn and her great video, If you have not checked out her site it really is fun. I love the Polka Dot Background Stamp ( yeah not retired!!), Other stamps: Everything Baby and Fun & Fast Notes. Inks: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Black, Baja Breeze. Paper: Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose. 1/4 in hole punch, 1 in hole punch, Any Scallop punch will work. Ribbon: Light Pink Gingham.This was the swap I came up with when I was told our Women in Ink group was swapping at our dinner at the Olive Garden. I thought "oh my another 30 cards"...I'm tired...Then I made 60 of them cuz they were so cute and I thought some women are going to have full cards like this to swap also. Ok I'm done for a while...I will be posting from convention if my wireless card and wifi is cooperating. Bye for now!! Wish me a safe driving Motorhome trip to Utah and back!!!!

Swap #5 I've been playing with Shrinky Dinks again!!

Shrinky Dinks were such a fun part of my life growing up...Have I really grown up??? That's debatable. Well now I am really having fun with them. This is Swap #5 for Convention 08. Notice how big they are to begin with....Then how small they are after!! I stamped with Ruby Red and Certainly Celery Classic Ink. Then aquapainted in with Cameo Coral. For stamping I made myself an acetate mask for the flowers so I could stamp the leaves but still see the flowers underneath.


These are the finished product on their swap card. The original size of the leaves is the background on the cards. I think these will be a

popular swap... I hope!. This was my most fun Swap to do!! Added note I heat my Shrinky Dinks in the oven with parchment paper over them...be careful not to burn use a lower tem like 300. I scorched a batch.
