Swaps for Convention ~ part 2

Earlier this week I shared the first of my 2 designs for swaps at this weeks’ Stampin’ Up convention in Salt Lake City, UT and promised to share the 2nd design.  Although we are still in the middle of July and the 100F Texas heat is beating down, it is not too soon, in the card-making world, to start thinking about Christmas/Holiday cards.  So my second design has a very ‘Chrismassy’ feel about it.

Swaps for Stampin’ Up Convention

Every year during July, Stampin’ Up holds it annual convention.  This is open to demonstators and guests, and is an opportunity for demonstrators from all over the US as well as other countries to get together in Salt Lake City, UT  with  Corporate leaders to (amongst other things) recognise acheivement, to hear and see new products and ideas.

Thank you……….

‘Thank you’ is probably the first phrase we are taught as children – it certainly was in our home and I observed my sister and her eldest daughter do the same when they started their families.  It takes but a few moments to say but it can have so much impact. I decided to share my ‘thank you’ cards I sent to my customers in June. Continue reading
