Convention Wrap Up!

No, this will not be the LAST time I mention the Stampin' Up! convention in a post. But don't worry, if you need some new card ideas, I will have some more up here shortly! I had such a fun time - getting some creative inspiration, and meeting some truly amazing people.  Here were a few of them; Jennifer, Karen, Rhonda, and Michelle. And who is that in the middle of the photo? Yes, that is Shelli!!!!  She is the Co-Founder of Stampin' Up and a truly wonderfully sweet lady. I am so inspired by what she has created in this company, not only with their products, but how they operate the organization.  They are always focused on ways to make a difference in the world. 

While I was at convention, I was able to participate in a service project with other demonstrators. We put together two thousand birthday kits to be delivered to a local children's hospital. The kits included birthday banners that we assembled along with other supplies to make their day a little brighter. Stampin' Up also donated a lot of supplies as well as the kits.  Imagine how much brighter that day will be for any child who has to be in the hospital for their birthday.  We also had a visit from Ronald McDonald who talked about the ten years of Stampin' Up partnering with the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Every  year, in addition to thousands of volunteer hours and cards at Houses nationwide, Stampin' Up creates a special stamp set that is designated as the RMHC set for the year.  For each set sold, Stampin' Up! donates three dollars to RMHC.  Here is the set for the 2013-2014 annual catalog

 

This set is called Tag It and is priced at $22.95 (item 130300). It is a great all around stamp for different occasions and it also coordinates with the Chalk Talk Framelit Dies. If you are ready to order this set and help support this great cause, please visit my site at www.HilarySmith.StampinUp.net today.
