Friends!...
Inspiration!...
...It was absolutely great! From arriving before 8:00am and swapping cards right there in the line ups. Everyone was ready for a busy, get down to stamping business kind of day!!!
The Pan Pacific and Convention Centre were fabulous hosts to our Weekend of Stampin' Up! fun. Imagine 500 or more, very excited women (and a couple of men) gathered to share a huge passion for Rubber Stamping! Pretty awesome!
Here's some of our memeber from our Victoria based CanadianInkspirations Group. Maggie, Me, Sonia, Bev, Lorraine(in front), Lucie, Alicia, Melanie and Stacey. And yes, snuggled right in the middle is CEO and Co-founder of Stampin' Up! Shelley Gardiner.
And this is our extended group, over into Vancouver, with the Canada Inks Up! Ladies.
Maggie and I were eager and ready to get our new "free" stamp set and get it put together to use in our projects throughout the day.
Busy busy busy... No time to chat... okay, lots of time for my friends, old and new. We were busy creating cards and scrapbook pages throughout the day. We listened to "stamping experts" share their secrets and drive home that motivation that keeps the passion alive.
Aren't they great! I can't wait to share them with you in person. So much fun and really... so easy (well yeah with all the paper cut and the sample right in front of us on the big screen). Hey... now I really know why so many ladies like coming to my classes... samples and paper and accessories and supplies ready to go... how great!!!
A great end to our day, with 4 of our group ladies invited up to the stage for a friendly game of Family Feud "Stampin' Up! Style". What fun!!! Bev, Stacey, Maggie and Sonia represented us well!!! And even though they didn't actually win in points, they still walked away with yet another "free" stamp set. Don't we all love Stampin' Up! that much more?!!!
I have the best group of ladies in our group and it was definitely a pleasure to share this journey with them. Thanks everyone!!!
Have a great day! ...and of course...
Happy Stamping!!!
