Leadership 2013 - Organized 3 x 3 Love Notes Swap

Are you a swapfanatic?  Of course you aren't, but I am!  I love to swap at Stampin' Up! events.  Today I will show you a glimpse into my world of swapping!

I hosted an organized swap for "3 x 3 Love Note Cards", there were 20 per group and we had 2 groups.  These little cards are perfect to add to a gift bag, or tuck in a lunch box.  Enjoy looking at the swaps I received back, including my 2 cards.

I must give credit to Pam Hegarty, my downline, best friend, and swap-making assistant. She designed, and made all 40 of my cards for this swap.

Leadership 2013 - Part 1

It is so exciting attend a Stampin' Up! event.  This year we were in Orlando, FL for the Leadership Conference.  Here are some of the highlights of Registration Day:

We did not get an official Leadership bag this year.  We were told to bring one from a past Leadership event.  I chose to carry the bag from my first Leadership Conference.  Laura made the most beautiful pin for me.

It has become a tradition to decorate your name tag.

Stampin' Up! always makes us feel Welcome!

Ruffle Tote Bag Roomie Gifts

Would you like to see what I made for my roommates?  Because we weren't getting an official Leadership Bag, I decided to make us one. So I made one for myself, Laura and Melissa.  Everyone was asking us to pose for pictures with our bags, they were a true hit.


I used the New Stampin' Up! More Amore Fabric to make the ruffle trim.  It took one package per tote bag, the more ruffles the better!Laura designed and made the flower to embellish our bags as her gift.  We were in this together.

I have so much more to share, so check back.  I look forward to reading your positive comments!
