Occasions & Salebrations and a fun stamping event

Besides going to a few local cardmaking, crafts events lately, I have been having so much fun with the Stampin' Up Occasions mini-catalog and Saleabrations...!  When new catalogs come out many of us demonstrators do swaps using the new products.  It is exciting to see the awesome designs.

This time I remembered to take pictures of my swaps and wanted to share some here...So I did my usual routine of moving them from my camera to a folder on my computer and edited some of them.  But when I tried to save all my photos the program did some weird thing and said it couldn't save some of them.  What that actually meant was that those photos were lost for good - argghh!  Of course some of those lost pics were of my swaps and only one card's pictures were saved.

So here is the only one of my swap card pictures that got saved.  It used Stampin' Up items from the Saleabrations and Occasions catalogs....There is only until the end of this month to buy any of the products from these two catalogs, so if there is anything you wanted, order it in my online store ASAP.  Remember that you get to choose free items with a $50 order, and if your order is $150, you also get $25 free credit to buy more!

My computer did save many of the pictures I took at the Spring Fling I went to last month, so I thought you might like to see some of the great cards that were displayed!  The light is not real bright in the room, but quite a few of my pictures came out fine...

 Here are the fearless leaders who do this event in AZ not once, but twice a year - Diana Gibbs and Rhonda Morgan.  They work very hard and always do such a super great job and we have tons of stuff to do and take home.  If you ever get a chance to attend one of these events, you won't regret it, but they do sell out so pay for your spot ASAP.

 And despite the long hours that they put in to plan, organize, and coordinate all the great projects, Diana always manages to come up with a really great display.  What an inspiration she is and I am glad she is my upline.  If you became one of my downline members by joining Stampin' Up, you would be a part of her team as well!

Here is the table I sat at and as you can see, we have tons of stuff on the table and are hard at work!  Gee, we are so lucky to have such a fun event in our area that we can go to twice a year :-)
