Petal Passion Swaps

Hi!

Sat down today to make some swaps for a friends downline team meeting and training event tomorrow!  I'm a guest presenter for her, so I get to swap with her team gals too!

Ever since my Event Council pals presented this product suite at On Stage back in November I have been wanting this suite and to have some time to play with it!

Here they are, all done and ready to bag up to swap!

Here's the swap card - featuring the Petal Passion DSP which is all Black and White and a variety of patterns!  Stamped Petal Passion floral image and cut out with the coordinating Petals & More Thinlits.  I colored with the new Stampin Blends and of course added some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to it!

And a close up but it's still hard to see how shimmery they were in person!

Thanks Lorri for having me as a presenter and including me in your team activities!  Stay tuned to see what I presented and my display items!

Getting Bubbly with Susan!

Howdy!

Happy weekend!!  You made it and I hope you are doing something fun this weekend!  I have been back to work at the medical office so my routine at home is slacking but I hope to get some stamping time in for some last minute ideas with some adorable things from the holiday catalog, while you can still order them!

So we have 7 of us on the North American Events Council team, with 2 in Canada and 5 in the USA.  This next gal and I have known or at least recognized each other for almost all of my 20 years (she's in 22 years!!) by flying in and out of similar airports, even on same flights sometimes and attending events.  She is from New Mexico and just a great friend!

This is SUSAN's card and she was assigned the same product bundle that I was, the BUBBLE OVER bundle!  Look at this cutie of a a card that she stamped!!  She said it was so easy to line up because the stamp set is photopolymer!

Have a great weekend!  I'll probably take the rest of the weekend off!  We have NOT yet begun to decorate for the holidays!  Although all of my fall decor has been taken down and put away, time to clean up and bring in the Christmas stuff!  Looking quite sparse in here!

Thanks so much,
Rhonda

Petal Passion with Sherry!

Hey there!

Today is from my friend Sherry who is also from Canada!  I'm so glad we were able to meet this Nov in SLC.  She started out quiet but she's so fun!  And has the sweetest Mom too!

SHERRY's card features the upcoming Petal Passion set that was used on Bonnie's card too.  Look at how sweet this little bird is, the awesome textured embossing folder, layered with a bit of vellum and a strip with the new border punch from the annual catalog!  Why do I forget it, LOOK - just a little touch is so pretty!  (sorry its hiding under the watermark)

Stop by tomorrow to see another one!!

Tutti Fruitti Linda style!

Hello!

I hope you are enjoying another sneak peek into what's coming!  We had fun and I'm so glad we did this swap!  Now as I have them in my hands and on my display boards, I can think of each of them and smile!

Tutti Fruitti is as fun as it sounds!  Although the set has some small pieces, there's a lot of creativity within these products!  Wait until you see all the fun accessories and coordinating punches and Stampin' Spots ink pads too!!

Meet my Events Council Friends!

Hi!

This week I will be introducing you to my teammates on the North American Global Events Council Team!  We have been serving and meeting for over a year now, and last month On Stage Live was our first time meeting in person!  We had so much fun!!  We are now united at such a deeper level as friends, so much laughing and coming together as a working team!  I know we will be friends way beyond our 18 month term on the EC Team.

Because this was the only event that we will get to do together, we decided we would have a team swap using our new products!  So I will be sharing their swap cards this week with you!

Alphabetically here we go!  This lovely card is from BONNIE - isn't it yummy!! A lovely new set - heck it's got a whole product SUITE called Petal Passion!

Have a great week!  Come back for more!
Rhonda

2nd up, SixLet's Swap

Hi

Second Up, my sweet dear friend Marlene Salvato from Gilbert, AZ.  I'm so blessed that she lives here and is part of my life and stamping team, adoption is a great thing!  We met so many years ago and I can't imagine life without her!

Love the perfect lil bow and wood accents!

Thanks and have a great day!

INKstravaganza, Swaps Part 4

Hi!

Hope you are all doing well and having a great week!  Today brings you two more swap cards that were shared!  I hope you are enjoying seeing what fun we had that day!  I just love my team, they inspire me each and every day - you never know who on which day or what may fuel me, but they do and they probably don't even know it!

Simple and Cute, by Cindy S
lots of layers and texture, simple crisp stamping

Great Christmas Card, by Sheri S2

Watching them enjoy my INKstravaganza days does bring me joy!  It does a heart good to know that you've made someone else feel good and special.  And giving is always a greater feeling than receiving.  Don't get me wrong, I think everyone loves to get a little bit now and then, I mean who doesn't love being spoiled right?  But when you think about what lasts longer, for me at least, giving always trumps receiving.

Anyhow, I have loved the time spent reminiscing about this fun day and seeing it play out not only through pictures but in my mind!  So proud of those team members that earned it for the 1st time, way to go girls!!  And to my consistent achievers, I am equally as proud of you for what you do every day, every month and every quarter to be consistently giving of yourself to your business too!  I wish success to all of my team members, in whatever your personal goals may be!  Just be happy, just keep stamping!!

with love, hugs
Rhonda

INKstravaganza Swaps Part 3

Hello,

Welcome back and today I have a couple more cards to share with you from our swaps!  I put these two together because they are sweet and dear gals, and I was SO HAPPY that Kristen decided to participate in our swap long distance that I am sharing her card today with her stampin momma Diana's card.

Here we go!

this beautiful card is from Kristen
I love this adorable sweet little winter scene in our DSP
topped off with some background stamping and glitter to bring it to life

this wonderful creation is by Diana (and Sara Douglass)
Di received this swap at Founders Circle from Sara (Interim CEO
and Shelli's daughter) and loved it so much to share it with us

So there you have it and there's 2 more for tomorrow, so stop by again!

Hugs
Rhonda

INKstravaganza Swaps Part 2

Hi!
Today will be quick, just a reminder that we have our ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA sale going on this week, Nov 23-30 -- with Flash Sale #2 on the final day for a few more great steals!  You can find the details in my prior post here.  Thanks for shopping with me if you don't already have a demonstrator that you currently work with, I appreciate your business and the chance to serve you.

So on with the SWAPS, that's what you're really here for, right!

Okay so today will feature one of my favorite little sets in the Holiday Mini, did you guess it?  SNOW PLACE and the coordinating SNOW FRIENDS framelits!

The festive little guy is from Stacey B (and her lil helper Jacob!)
LOVE all the pieces in the set and the Real Red Pom Pom trim ear muffs!

this was my swap card, love love love snowmen!  my favorite!

My card was inspired by Amy S and this adorable lovely project I found online or via Pinterest - too cute not to show you!  I just took her layout and idea and made my own version of it using Stampin' Up! products and made it into a card vs a gift sack!  And look how stinking cute it would be on our white polka dot glassine bags!  I do love her version too, so it's your BONUS idea for today!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
Rhonda

INKstravaganza Swaps Part 1

Hi there!!

Well we are nearing the close of this fun wonderful event.  I so enjoy hosting for them, I will have to put my thinking cap on to see how the new Career & Compensation Plan changes my team recognition event!

There's one thing you can always count on when we gather, a swap is a must!  There were 10 achievers and even the long distance can send in swaps if they want to participate and this time Kristen I from my home state of MI did!!  It's always optional but I hope they feel kind of special that it's only open to them on this special day.

Here we go, as Diana would tell me, space them out!  I'm like the WORST at sharing 1 a day ... so here goes, a couple or a few but not all of them!  (love ya Di!)

In the spirit of it being FALL and THANKSGIVING and all ... we will start with those!!

This adorable acorn card by Lori B
I love how it all ties together, definitely THANKFUL for my team!

lovely swap from Jan J - it's one of my favorites, so much texture
and color and i love the leaves laying over the front flap of the card

Stay tuned, check back and see ya tomorrow!

INKstravaganza Swaps!

Hello again!

So glad that you are stopping by today since I'll be sharing LOTS of LOVE and INSPIRATION with you!  At my team meetings we have an organized swap every month, and this month's theme was using Occasions Mini Catalog products!  We are at the 1/2 way point in this catalog so it's a great time to get some fresh new samples to share with customers during April and May!

Quickly I am going to post the swaps from that day!  Please know if something looks familiar, then it might ve been CASEd from another awesome demonstrator sharing her art for inspiration!  However they came to be, these are the AWESOME cards that were shared and swapped at my INKstravaganza event!
