Here we are at the middle of November.
Thanksgiving is just a week and a half away.
I received some great swaps when I attended the Founder's Circle Retreat.
I got over 100 swaps and these ladies and one gentleman did such
a wonderful job.
Here are some of the fall cards that I received.
Lighthearted Leaves Stamp Set
Vintage Leaves Stamp Set
I love the color combinations on all of these.
Come back tomorrow to see more great fall cards.
We finished up the very first On Stage Local in Milwaukee yesterday.
It was a great day. There were 15 members of our team in attendance.
We got a sneak peak from the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration brochure.
You are going to love them both — sorry can't share more than that.
Yesterday I posted part 2 of the Fall Fest Retreat Swaps — those that get the email feed, sorry — I forgot to enter the time so the email didn't go you then. You are receiving yesterday and today's post.
Here are the rest of the Fall Fest Retreat Swap Cards.
This time they all fall into Christmas cards.
Great job ladies and Jose.
Carol made this card with the Boughs & Berries embossing foler.
This card was made by Linda Pawloski — great job Linda.
Margo made this beauty using Cherry Cobbler card stock (her favorite) and last year's designer series paper.
Roseann made this card featuring the Woodland Embossing Folder,
The red and green ribbons are from the Holiday catalog.
This was Tammy Korczyk's swap card.
Tammy won 1st place in the card contest — can you tell why???
I have two more cards but I may be using versions of those cards at class this week so I'll hold off on that.
Come back and check it out.
Last night I arrived in Milwaukee for one of Stampin' Up!'s very first On Stage Local events. We had a wonderful catered dinner and received a stamp set from the Occasions Catalog which won't begin until January.
We also received a special gift for attending the evening — which was called Centre Stage. It was a great time — we saw some demo friends and had a wonderful training session on Leadership.
Hope to have a few pictures for you tomorrow — I have 7 team members attending too.
For now, here are a few more swaps from Fall Fest.
Gail Diss's swap came in 2nd place — this card had a great fold.
Rorie Lindell used the Decorative Dots embossing folder to give this card a little texture.
Marianne Hatch did a great job — butterflies are always a favorite.
