I can’t believe that it’s Friday already! I had a great day yesterday! I hung out with the Pals during opening session, they covered the new compensation plan and then we had lunch. After lunch we went back for another general session and they told us about the new way they will be doing events in the future. They will have two events every year, one in April and then another one in November to coincide with the catalog releases. Shelli also come out and did her stamping presentation which was hysterical because she was using some words to describe things that everyone found quite amusing, even she couldn’t stop laughing! I met up with Maggie, Nicole and Jacki so we could go to the mall for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. After that we wandered around and did a little shopping and then came back to the hotel and hung out in the bar. Good time with great people, who could ask for anything more?! Here are a few pictures from yesterday. The first one is Me, Maggie, Nicole and Candy.
Here are Windy and I.
And here I am with Nance squared!
Now off we go to today’s card. It uses another one of the watercolor backgrounds that I made, this time it’s with Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon. My greetings are from the #hello Stamp Set. The @ sign is stamped in Lost Lagoon and punched out with the 2″ Circle Punch, I use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card. The greeting is stamped in Blackberry Bliss, I flagged the right side and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. A very simple card but I think that the watercolor background gives it a lot of oomph! I hope that you enjoyed the card and my little recap of yesterday! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous Friday! 🙂

Hi Justin, Great pictures. I really just love seeing SU-ers. Look at the smiles!!!
The card is very nice. Love the colors. The white bird peeking around the corner to see the card is very cute too.

Hey Nancy!
Thank you! We all had a great time! Glad that you enjoyed the card too and the props! 🙂
Oh Justin – it is such fun to read about all your adventures while we sit here looking out at what will end up as another foot of snow on top of the two + feet we got on Thursday. It gives me reason to smile.
It’s hard to believe that the Blackberry Bliss and the Lost Lagoon look so great together. I know you had fun making the watercolor backgrounds which makes them fun to look at.
You keep having lots of fun. Might as well enjoy every minute while you’re at leadership. Thanks for sharing all those great photos. We all love seeing them. Hugs to you my friend! 🙂
Thank you so much Grace! I’m glad that I get to share them with you! I really do love the way the colors change a bit when you watercolor with them! I did have a good time making the backgrounds! I did enjoy every second! Can’t wait to see my friends again at Convention! 🙂
Hi Justin! I have to agree with Grace, great color combo that I would not have put together. Really love the watercolor backgrounds. The sun is shining here today, which helps out with the very cold weather we are having. Great pics, thanks for sharing those. Continue to enjoy your fun! Have a great day Justin!
Hello Karen!
Thank you! I love the watercolor backgrounds too! Glad that you had some sun! So Happy that you are enjoying the pics! 🙂
Hey Justin, I bet stampin up events are so much fun, I would so love to go to one. I planned to go with my demonstrator/friend one year, but then I started working with her and now we can’t have time off together 🙁 You are packing your days with fun and friends – that’s awesome! We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills the day we flew home from the USA, delicious but a very sad day! Thanks for keeping us updated with your adventures! Love today’s card too, the @ stamp is great, and looks fantastic against the pretty background – you’ve done it again!! Cheers, Justin xxx
Hi Kelly!
