Denver Day 3!

Each Day in Denver was jammed packed with things to do! I woke up at 6AM each morning to get to the Convention Center by 8AM for General Session. This was at the "MAin Stage". All Convention Attendees were together each morning during General Session for demonstrations, announcements, entertainment, and FREE STAMPS! As you can image approximately 3,000 people in one area at the same time was very LOUD! There was so much excitement in the air. After each presenter was done they would flash a wristband on the JumboTron and anyone that had that wristband won FREE merchandise that related to the previous demonstration. The requirement for receiving your FREE merchandise was that you jumped up and down until someone in the Prize Patrol ran over with your items! It was hysterical! 50-100 people jumping up and down to get their FREE stamps! I guess you had to be there, LOL...

After general session, and lunch, we were able to attend specific classes. One class was called "Color your world" where we learned watercoloring techniques. Here is one of the cards I made:

STAMPS: Fun and Fast Notes ; PAPER: Purely Pomegranate, Watercolor Paper; INKS: Soft Sky, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava, Rose Red ; ACCESSORIES: Dimensionals, Watercolor Brushes, Groovy Guava Double Stitched Ribbon

I was so surprised how easy watercoloring can be!!!

Here is another card we made, this time we used color to decorate the new Pretties flowers! The flowers are white. The larger flower is colored by applying pastels with a sponge dauber. The smaller flower is color applying classic ink with an aquapainter.

STAMPS: Fun and Fast Notes; PAPER: Sahara Sand Gift Notes; INK: Groovy Guava; ACCESSORIES: Fairy Tale Ribbon Originals, Pretties Kit Flowers and half back pearl, Mini Glue Dots, Pop-up Glue Dots, Aquapainter, Sponge Dauber, Ballet Blue Pastels.

At night we attended the INKcredible Dinner hosted by Tina Rosenkrans. We had a fabulous dinner at the Crowne Plaza! One of the demonstrators in this group, Dawn Byers, completed 60 cards from the new Winterbright Simply Scrappin' Kit! I was so excited to see this because I just ordered the kit myself to plan out the Christmas Card class that I am planning for my customers! I am going to be having a 60 card class with this kit and I just loved the cards that can be made with it!!

After dinner, we went to the "Paramount" for cocktails. We became regulars that week due to their great Happy Hour Specials!!
