Last year, I started the 12 Weeks of Christmas program and it was a great hit! Today marks the start of the 2008 12 weeks program! Subscribers to my email newsletter will receive a new holiday card, gift idea, ornament or tag idea in their email inbox. Make sure your signed up to receive these great holiday ideas! The subscription box is in the upper left corner of the blog. Each week will bring new projects that are sure to inspire!
I completely fell in love with this card while at Founder’s Circle and knew this card would be the first one I showed you! It was created by Dorothy Seatter from Canada. She stamped the flowers on Very Vanilla Cardstock and then used a vellum overlay to emboss the greeting in Gold Embossing Powder. The Riding Hood Red Ribbon and Gold Cording really added a beautiful and elegant touch!

Isn’t it a gorgeous card? I hope you enjoyed this card idea!
I just can’t get over how perfect our week in St. George was. The weather was absolutely perfect and I had such a fabulous time!
Here are some hightlights:
Unlimited candy in the Hospitality Room. We were able to come in anytime and fill up the adorable little silver buckets with any type of candy we wanted. I’m all about the "Jelly Bellies"! This room was also used as a room to sit, relax and chat; for make and take’s and for the Pyjama Party and Business Share!
On our first full day, a bunch of us took part in an AWESOME Jeep tour! It was so beautiful and I was excited to get some great pictures. (Amy Celona, Stacie Clark, Michelle Weinmann, Michelle Rahal, Julie Salva, Joann Wiemers, Dawn Raspas, Me and Georgia Giguere)
Amy Celona & I
Dinner out with Friends: Karen Duke, Dorothy Seatter & Amy Celona
At the Pyjama Party/Business Share we were treated to some Root Beer floats and some yummy snacks!
We visited the Kanab Manufacturing Plant where we got to meet the wonderful staff who create and package the stamps! We got a chance jump in and cut and package some stamps-it was alot of fun to see how they’re made. Here’s a photo of Shelli Gardner and I.
We attended Huckleberry Finn, a spectacular outdoor show at Tuacahn. I also met a new friend on the bus ride there…Hi Missy!
Here’s a photo of all the Canadians who earned this Incentive Trip. This photo was taken at a Golf Course where we got to watch an outdoor movie. Here’s a fun tid-bit: This is the location that High School Musical was filmed.

At the Movie Night, Stampin’ Up! had pizza’s, drinks, popcorn and candy… all with lovely banners made with our Big Shot and some of our Designer Series Paper. Just as the movie started and the sun went down…the BATS CAME OUT! They were flying around us for about 20 minutes! Yikes!
Well, I could go on and on about Founder’s Circle Trip…but, I’ll just finish by saying: "BEING A DEMONSTRATOR IS AWESOME!" I have truly been blessed with a great business that has not only benefited my family financially, but, has also brought me friends all over the world!
I’ll be starting to share some great Christmas Cards again this week! Make sure you come back for more!!!
I returned from Founder’s Circle (a retreat earned by the top demonstrators) on Sunday night with a suitcase that nearly wouldn’t shut! I got to make some new friends (Hi Missy), spend time with Shelli Gardner and some of her amazing employees and enjoy the very picturesque St. George, Utah! While there, Stampin’ Up! showered us with lovely "Pillow Gifts". I thought I’d share the gifts we got this past week just to show you how spoiled we really were!
Each one of us was welcomed by our very own name plaque on our doors! This made it very handy to find our friends! The whole Hotel was filled with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators…it was nice to be able to have our very own "place!"
A new make up bag…which was filled with a new stamp set, some ink pads and a roll of lovely ribbon!
A pen and note book set to take notes at our Pyjama Party and Business Share night!
A lovely new monogram necklace!
A sweet wallet that matches our lovely pink purse we received before Founder’s Circle.
AND lastly a snuggly pink blanket!
It’s almost feels like it’s too much doesn’t it? NAH….it’s the perfect amount! 🙂
