Stampin' Up!'s Managers' Reception 2014 at the Houston Aquarium

Stampin' Up!'s Managers' Reception 2014 was at the Houston Aquarium. Having been to many different Managers' Receptions, I would have to say that this one was one of the best ever.

This is the view from the top of the ferris wheel.

Stampin' Up! reserved the entire aquarium so there were no lines for any of the rides.

We could walk through the aquarium area to see the fish, snakes and other reptiles.

This train went through a tunnel-type of aquarium where you could see sharks swimming all around you.

Off to Leadership Day 3 adventures!  I'll post more pictures on my Pinterest board and blog more later.

Stampin' Up! Leadership 2014 Day 1

I'm posting a few quick updates from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in Houston, TX between classes.

The big announcement was that Stampin' Up! will be launching their new Blendability alcohol-based markers in the first quarter of 2014.  Here are the colors they will come in.  Each color with have a set of 3 markers:  light, medium and dark.

One of the Stampin' Up! staff members demonstrated how to use the new markers.  I have to admit that I'm a little jealous.  I would love to play with them too!

Here is a sneak peek of the new customizable stamp that will be in Stampin' Up!'s new catalog.  It's a photopolymer clear stamp!

Okay, I have to get to class.  Will update as time allows.  Looking forward to a HUGE stamp class tonight with just shy of 1000 Stampin' Up! demonstrators where we'll get to play with new products!

Valentine's Day Favors and Cards

Valentine's Day Favors and cards, Stampin' Up! style, are a great way to let your family and friends know how much you appreciate them.  At our demonstrator meetings, we swap cards and projects.  And we have show and tell.  I wanted to share with you some of the ideas our group has for Valentine's Day.  This Envelope Favor is a quick way to share a treat and note for your special someone.  Check out my free tutorial for making this envelope favor using a piece of 5 x 5 designer series paper.

The mini espresso cups are another quick way to give someone a treat.  I get my cups from webstaurant.com.  Please email me if you would like a free template.

Melody Smith made this treat bag with a card that also fits in the bag using Stampin' Up!'s exclusive Valentine products which are only available through January 27th. 

Janet Holmes made these projects using Stampin' Up!'s Monster Girl and Monster Boy kits.  The monsters are designed to hold a little treat.  Sorry about the bad photography which makes it look like the boy monster has a cataract. LOL.

Marilyn Young made this card using the Language of Love stamp set which is available in the Occasions catalog.  

Cindy Peterson made this card using the starburst technique.

I hope you enjoyed these Valentine ideas.  Follow my Valentine Pinterest board  for more ideas.
