Using the adorable stamp set from the Occasions Catalog called “ A Mother’s Flair”.   I think this set has been a sleeper…but once you start using it , it is super, easy to make cute and quick cards for all occasions …. for all the wonderful women in your life….Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and coworkers!!

A MOTHER'S FLAIR CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET
Price: $18.00


Stamped in Archival Black ink  and colored in with our Stampin’ Write Markers in Lemon Lime Twist and Real Red.


As of right now we do not carry Real Red ribbon…so I colored my own…using a Cherry Cobbler Light Stampin’ Blends and I used my Cherry Cobbler Dark marker to color the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  The gems accent the flowers so nicely.…don't you think??



Finish off the inside with a strip of polka dots …add a flower and a gem…perfect for Mom!!

Alaskan Trip Achievers Blog Hop…Onstage 2018

Welcome to the Alaskan Trip Achiever's Blog Hop.  This Blog Hop is done by the top Stampin’ Up! demonstrators….those who earn the Incentive Trip!!  Our theme this month is all about our recent Stampin’ Up! Conference called Onstage!!  Onstage is a conference held twice a year in several locations all around the world attended by demonstrators all around the world!  So today…I am going to show you some of the highlights from my trip. 
Our nearest location was in Milwaukee WI.  Just an 1 1/2 hrs. away!  We are so lucky here in WI….Onstage is usually near by for us!
We started out our excursion with a special invitation to an evening for top demonstrators called Center Stage.  Since Stampin’ Up! is celebrating their 30 year anniversary….the theme for the evening was the 80’s.  I have been blessed to be with the Company for 21 of these 30 years!!   Many demos (not me ..I’m a party pooper!) dressed up in an 80’s theme….including our founder Shelli Gardner!!


We were so lucky to have Shelli at our location!!!  Love her!!

Still grooving in the 80’s theme!

Table décor…and we all got an awesome lightbox to take home!! 


But the best thing about Center Stage…is we get our brand new catalogs!!  Woohoo!

We learned all about all the new colors coming to Stampin’ Up!  Some of our favs are being retired….but oh my gosh…the new colors are to die for!!

Here are the New In Colors!! Love them!!!



Another awesome part of Onstage is seeing friends from all all over the US.

And meeting up with other members from our Team!


Not to mention all the “loot” we get from Stampin’ Up!  They spoil us!!!


Now onto Day 2!! Onstage!!

Love this notebook/planner we receive at each Onstage….in a new color …Merry Merlot!!!  Love it!

      
And the darling vase full of butterflies….do I see a new framelit??  They are guarding our make and takes of the day!!


Here is my team of Water City Stampers!!  We had 12 ladies able to come!!  WooHoo!!

Each Team member that came….got this darling bag I made!

In the bag was a personalized bone folder….with their initial charm and a heart charm…because they all are “A Piece of My Heart!”  Thank you to my dear hubbie Paul who drilled all the holes at 9pm the night before!!

They got a Water City Stampers Team pen and

a charm for their key chain!


They all got their catalogs!!

And Free Stamps!!

And more Free Stamps!!

And here I am walking across stage …getting a hug from Shelli for reaching $800, 000 in sales this past year!!!  WOWZA!!  Thank you to ALL MY AWESOME CUSTOMERS who helped me reach this huge milestone!!

Two other AWESOME demonstrators achieved this success this year as well…Dena Rekow and Karen Titus!!!  Dena took this fabulous selfie of all of us with Shelli!!  Thanks Dena for the great picture!!!  Too fun!!

All over the venue are beautiful displays…..

and sneak peeks of wonderful products to come!!

Not to mention….swapping!!!  Gotta swap when with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators!!

Fantastic demonstrations all day long from super talented demonstrators!!

How bout some mid afternoon sugar as a little pick me up!!
