Stampin' Up! Convention 2011

Got home a few days ago after a FABULOUS week in Salt Lake with my Team and I attending this years Stampin' Up! Convention, theme "Grow"!

We had with us a handful of first time attendees from my team, Ink Pad Artist...Ruth, Cesilee, Sharon, Sally and two of my side lines Shelly, and Toni!  Others from my team that attended (besides me and my hubby, he goes every year!) were Kristi, MarKaye & hubby Eric, Melanie, and Linda W., Linda C, Raini.

Our first time attendees got to walk across stage!  What a surprize to all of us as this was something new that Stampin' Up! chose to do this year!  "A First Timers March"!  Guess what?  the gals likes it so much they want to Walk Stage Again!  I can tell you that this experiance is Fun and exciting and addicting!  Want to know why?  You are up there getting recognized from everything to Anniversary years with stampin' Up! to sales, Sharing (recruiting) and just about any and all you do for FUN with this company.  All while you "Stamping Sisters" cheer you on!

MarKaye got to Walk for hitting her First Mile Stone..... selling 100K in her career!  Also we both walked for our Tenth anniversary!  Can you believe it....TEN Years!  And all we wanted to do was to  "buy at a discount" and Stamp!

I walked for several awards:  sales, recruiting and my team promoting.  I also got a fantastic surprise to find that I earned Founder's Circle!  This will be my second year!  A very special award presented to the top 100 in the USA and fifteen in Canada. And whith this I received a beautiful handbag, pin, and get to spend four fantastic days with Shelli Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!  So another great time in St. George, Utah with Shelli, her team from Stampin' Up! and  over 100 of my stamping sisters!

To sum it up.....

We attended classes, Make & Takes, Stage Presentaions on New Products, saw New Projects,  won FREE stamps , Punches, and other items, received a great convention bag, and much, much more! We also went to Dinner  one evening for our own awards presentation where Sharon earned my highest award fo the year...Ink pad Artist's Shining Star award!   So why not come join us next year....watch
