Great Weekend :)

What a great weekend! It all stared after work on Friday. I went straight to Big Shot club, hosted by my upline from Stampin' Up! we made some REALLY cute things with the new petal cone die (Click here to order). I love Big Shot club, because you get to make more than cards, you can make SO many other paper crafts and embellishments! Saturday I went to my VERY FIRST demonstrator meeting. We made some really cute bags made out of envelopes and a birthday card. We also did a card swap, demonstrations, and the learned about new promotions at Stampin' Up! (oh and, the clearance rack was just updated!!!!).

Sunday was SO busy and so fun! BBQ and crafting?! It was GREAT! I really loved how the envelope bags were so quick and simple. So, I brought all the material that I would need to the bbq so that everyone could make one. I think it went really well and everyone made such cute bags! After a little cleaning, the crafting was continued at my house with my sister and her best friend. My weekend started and ended with crafting and was filled with lots of friends and laughter :) It was great! Now, if only I could have a day to recuperate! lol

OH! In case you have noticed, my Stampin' Up! website is now up and running. I would LOVE to be your demonstrator. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Also, if you want to receive the "Preferred Price" on the Stampin' Up! website, just select me as your demonstrator and you will qualify to receive that discounted price:) Thanks for your continued support everyone!!!

I made little Thank You boxes for everyone that came to the BBQ :) This was before I put the candy in them, I had lots of fun trying to build things with boxes :)

I didn't use Stampin' Up! paper (eek!) because I didn't have enough to make them all, but I did use one of So Many Thanks stamp from Stampin' Up! It's one of my new favorites :)

YAY!!! They're all filled with candy!

Last but not least, my uncle had surgery today and I made him this card to let him know that we're thinking of him and keeping him in our prayers. I used the Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper, Trendy Trees stamp set, and Concord Crush cardstock.
Have a great week everyone!
