I have recently returned from a fantastic conference in San Antonio hosted by Stampin' Up!  I have come back rejuvenated, inspired and ready to share fabulous ideas and products.  Stampin' Up! has some wonderful products and changes on the horizon - it's a great time to be a Stampin' Up! customer and even better to be a demonstrator!

While in San Antonio, I participated in a swap - which is basically an opportunity for demonstrators to exchange card ideas.  It's a fun way to get a variety of styles of cards that I may not normally have an opportunity to showcase.  Here is a photo of my swap:

I can across the color combination in an old scrapbook magazine.  I don't think I would have put Real Red and Pool Party together, but coupled with the black, I found it a really refreshing, trendy combo.  In addition, I find the colors to be gender neutral which can work with a number of types of cards or projects.

My card uses a couple of new products available in the current Occasions Mini catalog to include the Fashionable Heart embosslit die and the Adorning Accents embossing folder.  How can you resist those adorable hearts?

Are you ready for some exciting news?  Within the next 24 hours Stampin' Up!'s most anticipated event begins...Sale-a-bration! For every $50 spent on product, you will earn FREE product in the Sale-a-bration catalog. Don't believe me?  C'mon back tomorrow to see for yourself!
