Penny's Creative Corner

Back from Convention

Sorry, I've been missing from my blog posts for a while.  Several weeks before Stampin' Up!'s convention I was busily making around 350 cards to take with me to swap.  Here are the cards layed out all in their bags ready to take.  I was in Salt Lake City for a week, using a few days to do some family research.  The convention started on Thurs., July 18th, and there were around 5800 demonstrators in attendance. 

This is the view I had from my hotel window facing the capital building and the mountains in the background. The big square building in the foreground is the Family History Library (where I spent a few days doing research and trying to find some history on my ancestors).  Right after I took this picture there was lightening and pouring down rain.  I was glad I was in my hotel all safe and sound.

Here are my Ohio demonstrator friends (except one) that I had lunch with on Saturday:   Back Row - Roxanna, Carri, Carol;  Front Row - Penny (me), Ann (my 4th upline from Wisconsin), and Sally


Stay tuned for the next couple weeks when I'll be showing
some of the cards that I made and cards that I received swapping!

Leadership 2013

Sorry....I've been missing for a while.  I went to Stampin' Up!'s 2013 Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida.  I loved the weather.  When we left Columbus it was 30 degrees and they had to de-ice our plane before we left.  When we arrived in Orlando it was 79 degrees.  We were sitting around the pool absorbing the sunshine.

I wanted to share a few pictures that I took.  There were approx. 1500 demonstrators from all over United States and Canada there to learn.  Here are a few of us swapping outside the theater.  I ended up taking about 186 cards to swap with other demonstrators.  I'll be sharing some of those next week.
