Stampin' Up! Baltimore Regional Seminar

This past Saturday, October 2nd, I spent the day at the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar in Baltimore, Maryland.  What a great day.  We learned lots of new tips and ideas for our Stampin' Up! business.  It was also nice because 9 of us from this area - all downlines of some level under Gail Murray.  Gail arranged for us all to have dinner together at the M&S Grill at Baltimore's Inner Harbor after the Seminar.  It was so nice to see everyone and spend the day doing what we love together.

My Upline is Jacki Montgomery.  She has become one of my closets friends and Saturday was her Birthday.  I'm so glad she spent the day with us.  I drove down with her and one of my fellow demonstrators and one of her other downline, Maureen Gold.  We had a great time catching up on the drive down and back.

The restaurant we had dinner at printed up special menu's for us in honor of Jacki's Birthday.  They said Happy Birthday Jacki on them.  How awesome is that!

Stampin' Up!'s Regional Seminars are great.  We get a FREE Stamp Set, get to make 5 make-in-takes and learned lots of great ideas and tips.  I swaped 100 card fronts and got some really great ones back.  I will post some of the swaps in the near future as well as pictures of some of the samples they had on display for us.  We were also provided lunch and a 3 pm snack of ice cream.  That was a great idea!  We were also given a commerative pin and a pack of the new glitter brads.  This is the 3rd Regional I've attended since joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator in August of 2004.  The others were in Atlantic City and Philalephia.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a Creative Day!

Stampin' Up! New Recruit Offer

I spent yesterday at the Stampin' Up! Baltimore, Maryland, day seminar.  It was terrific, I learned lots of great stuff and had a blast with my Stampin' Sisters!

Stampin' Up! announced that along with the cool tote that they are offering to new recruits who sign on by October 17th the new recruit will also get the stamp set Eat Chocolate for free.  The Eat Chocolate stamp set is from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog that will be out in January of 2011.  I will post some sample they had using this stamp set.

If you are interested in signing up to be a demonstrator now is a great time.  Contact me at hustedde@msn.com or 609-335-3586 to discuss signing on!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a creative day!

Stampin' Up! Stamp Club

It's that time of year again.  Fall is almost here, summer is over, weather is getting cooler (finally!) and school has started.  It is also the time of the year that I start my Stamp Clubs again.  I really enjoy the stamp clubs.  One, it gives me a chance to spend an evening a month with some of my great customers and it also makes me sit down and create projects and spend time doing one of my hobbies.

Here are the projects for my September Stamp Club which will be next week (the 3rd project is the Dark & Dreary Card in my previous post):

Thank You Card (Thanks to fellow SU Demonstrator
Maureen Gold for this idea which she learned at Convention)

Batty Trick or Treat Card

Thanks for stopping to look!

Have a Creative Day!

Stamp Club at the Mays Landing Library

On Tuesday evening I will be demonstrating the Secret Hidden Message Card to the ladies at the South Jersey Stampers Stamp Club at the Mays Landing Library.

We meet once a month and learn a new technique or creative idea.  We each take turns demonstrating an idea to the group.  We also do Card Swap.  There is a specific theme for the month and you make a card with that theme.  If you make a card, you get a pick a card.  If you choose not to make a card that is fine also.  Also, some people make their own version of the idea shared with us the month previous.  It is a lot of fun and a nice time out doing what I really enjoy.  I have made some new friends, all the ladies in the group are so nice.

I wanted to share with you my card for the Swap (hint to those in my Stampin' Up! Stamp Club - this is one of the cards we will be making next week).   Also, this card idea was taken from one of the girls at our Stampin' Up! downline meeting at Gail Murray's a few weeks ago.  I'm really sorry I don't know her name, but I wanted to thank her for the cute idea on using the new Web Embossing Folder.  If you see this post and it was you please leave a comment with your name so I can give you credit!

Secret Message Cards

As I posted earlier one of our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's Deb Clark brought a project for us to do at our Downline Meeting last month called a Secret Hidden Message Card.  Here are a few I created in preperation for Demonstrating the technique to the South Jersey Stampers Group that meets once a month at the Mays Landing Atlantic County Library.

I really enjoyed making these samples and look forward to teaching the card to all the ladies in the South Jersey Stampers Stamp Club at the Mays Landing Library.

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!
