Stampin' Up Convention

Wow! This has been a crazy month for me! I have hardly been home. But I have had so much fun. The last four days I was at the Stampin' Up Convention. I was soooo happy that is was in Denver this year! It made it so convenient for me to go. My upline, Linda and I rode together everyday.



The theme this year was Dream Big. They had wonderful sessions and classes and hundreds of ideas! Here is one side of the many rows of card ideas.


On the first night, they had a Pajama Party and Linda and I made all of our great make-n-takes.


I also got to talk to and meet the amazing Shelli Gardner who is the Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up! She was so sweet.



Linda and I had a very fun (and exhausting) four days and now I have lots of awesome new ideas to share with you! I can't wait to pull out my stamps and start creating some new projects!


Don't forget, I am having and Stampin' Up Garage Sale with Linda this coming Saturday, August 4th. We will be selling a bunch of our retired stamp sets at 50% off!! And of course, I bought some of the awesome new product for you to check out!

I am also having a Make a Wish birthday card class on Saturday, August 18th. I have some fun cards planned. Come this Saturday and you can check out the samples ahead of time. Contact me if you are interested!

Wedding Journal: July 14, 2007

Wooohooo! So Clint and I have been officially engaged for one month. Wow, the month really flew by. And there's lots of wedding planning to still be done.

I have some very exciting news though!!! Yesterday, Friday the 13th, I bought my wedding dress! I love it. It is so gorgeous. Perfect for the type of wedding we are having. My mom, bridesmaid Hannah and friend Ariana came with me to make my final selection. Hannah took some fun pictures, but you'll have to wait until January to see! Hannah also tried on some bridesmaid dresses so we could see what we liked. Here are two of the styles we liked the most, but I am thinking I want to do something in a different fabric that will go better this the dress I got.




My mom and I are heading down to Texas next week to do the majority of the wedding planning. I have to finalize details with my venues, interview a pick a florist and locate a good baker. My Maid of Honor, Kim has really been helping me narrow down the options. I've put together a little wedding planning book that has pictures of the flowers, dresses, cakes, etc. that I like so I can show the vendors when I met with them. It's all slowly starting to come together.

I am currently working on printing the Save the Dates and I plan to have those in the mail early next week. I'll post a picture of them on my blog once everyone has received them!

I also finished up Clint and I's wedding website! It's not anything fancy, but if you have a chance, feel free to take a look. I am also adding it to my sidebar so you can go back and view it at anytime. Click below to view:



I have lots of pictures from the Caribbean that I want to share with you, but it will have to wait for another day. More wedding details to come soon.
