loved general session today! Shelli showed us a lot of projects that she uses for Home Decor during the fall and winter holidays. If my kids were older I would decorate my whole house with her ideas! Other demonstrations included a lot of 3D projects. Really cute and easy. If I had some pictures I would show you-it was too hard to get good pictures from the Jumbo -Tron. I will play around with some of my favorites to post real soon! The picture to the left is Renee jumping up and down waiting for the prize patrol to bring her FREE STAMPS!
During lunch I went to the SUDSOL gathering. Laura came as my guest. SUDSOL is an online group for demonstrators only. We share business ideas and tips with each other online. I was able to put faces to the names that I have seen on countless emails over the past 6 months. I was also finishing up some swaps for a WOW CARD SWAP that was going on at the same time as the SUDSOL gathering. 
I swapped with other demos for 3D and WOW Projects. There were so many great projects at the SUDSOL gathering I didn't even go to the WOW swap! I will post some of the items I swapped for separately. The "Warm Wishes" card you see above and to the right is what I used as a WOW swap. Everyone loved it! The original idea came from Cathy Watson, another demonstrator that I see at my upline monthly meetings in Franklin. She is a very talented woman! The presents pop up in the center and you can fit a check or cash in the middle as a gift!That night we went out to PF Changs for dinner. Then we finally had a chance to go to Coyote Ugly! That was the only thing I wanted to do outside of Convention all week. What a let down!! We walked in and they were playing RAP music! There were women on the bar dancing that just shouldn't have been !LOL! I guess I expected some talented dancers/bartenders to be on the bar with country western in the background .... I stayed all of 5 minutes and then we went back to the Paramount Cafe for Happy Hour!
WARM WISHES CARD RECIPE:
STAMPS: Baroque Motifs, Hugs and Wishes
INK:Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy
PAPER:Brocade Background DSP, Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla
ACCESSORIES: Rhinestone Brads, Ticket Corner Punch, sponges, 12" paper cutter with scoring blade, cream ribbon dyed with bravo burgundy reinker, dimensionals.
In side of the card: One 8"x5" piece of Very Vanilla Card stock. Fold Very vanilla card stock in half to form center crease. Place card stock in 12" paper cutter vertically (lined up at 4" mark) place cutter blade over card stock and cut from center crease out 1-1/4" in each direction (there should be a slit 2-1/2" in length). Line up card stock at 2-3/4" mark and cut from center crease out 1-1/4" in each direction. Line up card stock at 2-1/2" mark and cut from center crease out 1-3/4" in each direction (there should be a slit 3-1/2" in length). Flip card stock over and line up at the 4-1/4" mark, cut from center out 1-3/4" in each direction. Now turn card stock horizontal and connect slits for two presents with scoring blade. Fold at creases so that the presents pop up. Cut Designer paper to fit over presents (1-1/4"x 2-1/2" and 1-3/4"x 3-1/2") and adhere. TIP: When adhering to Old Olive card, don't put adhesive on 1/4" strip between boxes....you can place the money/check under this so it does not fall out of card!
I hope the instructions make sense! The card is really easy to figure out if you see it for yourself. Ask me to show it to you when I see you. Call me if the instructions don't make sense to you, I would be happy to help!
Happy Stamping!!!
