From cards, scrapbooking pages to fabulous 3D items.  It was truly a fabulous share night.

Jacynthe, a fellow demonstrator and I were so excited about share night. There were signs in different places of the ship to direct us to the theater.

Sometimes I wonder how Shelli stays so fit, Stampin’up! always organizes great snacks! And then there were the projects.  Lots of demonstrators brought many fabulous creations.  The next pictures are not created by me,there are from talented demonstrators but I don’t know all their names.

These cool flipflop were made with the Big shot and Stampin up flower folds die #115970.  I am thinking of making them as party favors for my daughter’s  Jordan’s 5th birthday party. Which is in July, I am kind of going threw this little crisis right now.  My baby turning 5!  This is about the time were I usually ask for another baby, but my husband made sure we were not to have anymore.  He is living with 4 women + Maya our female dog!  Oh! and my oldest daughter Megan is turning 10.  So this is kind of hard on me, right now!

Then there was Christie, she made headbands, necklaces, barrettes and broches with the bigshot and scallop circle #2die #113469.  Best part that I liked is there is no sewing involved.

We were all cramping in to see the fabulous projects.  My husband stayed away from this one!

BJ Peters demonstrated all evening these gorgeous felt flowers.  She used the circle #2 die # 114526

Has you can see, the big shot is not only for scrapbooking it is very useful to cut 50 types of material.  If you don’t have your big shot #113439 why not order it this month and get creative with lots of summer projects. Ask me about my May Cruisin’Special.  You can get a super great deal!!  Live away from me, click on my 24hrs shopping button to order and have the brown man come to your door.  Got to go my daughter is skating tonight but part 2 tomorrow.

Happy monday everyone

Brent went on stage with his baseball cap and Cheetos, red bull and made sure to express his "manly" habits to the men in the theater.

He presented two projects he had created for his son:  A frame and a 8×8 scrapbook album.  What is so awesome about My digital Studio is that he was able to do the same album twice. How? by changing the pictures only and keeping the digital layout he had created initially.  How smart is that?  So both of his sons have their own football album. You must have children in multiple sports!  My digital studio is a great way to create these albums in a flash and would also make a awesome gift for Father’s Day.

Brent used the latest digital downloads available. These files are not available with the initial digital program but are available for a small extra fee:

Wouldn’t these make great center pieces!

I will definitely do those for my daughter’s birthday party.  Actually, she will be able to help me out as it’s the exclusive Stampin’up Bigz Die Island Floral #118871. What is so practical and fun about using dies with the big shot is You can do 8 layers at a time.  Pam used the Island Oasis designer paper #117173.  The colors are so pretty.

Again using the Island Floral die from page 27 in the Summer mini to create a lei.  Pam gave us a great tip:  curl the petals with a bone folder and then use your paper piercer and string the flowers into our linen thread or hemp twine.

This is a banner Pam created  using the Pennant Die.  Guess what is celebra…?

It is celebrate in spanish

And now what is a party without favor boxes.  Pam used the island Oasis party favor boxes # 117178 from p. 27 of the mini.  There are 12 boxes with 12 bellybands included for only 7.95$ These are just stinkin’ cute!

With the same party favor boxes and island  oasis die, she decorated a string of low voltage patio-party lights.  It was just gorgeous!

Pam also used My digital studio # 118108 to create the invitation and the level 2 hostess stamp set Punched Posies from the summer mini. Get this exclusive hostess set when you have 395$ in sales or more.  Ask me how!

This is one of my favorite things that Pam shared.  She made for the bride to be a bracelet.  It is from the mini also on p.17.  She used the simply adorned bracelet #117342 with the circle charms #117349 and square charms #118476.  Inside she added movers and shakers itty bitty bits stamped images #117056.  These images were punched with the punch pack itty bitty shapes #  118309.  So no cutting involved.  How sweet and delicate.  What a great mother’s day gift or even for my sweet daughters.

I hope you enjoyed my share today, I need to finish prepping for Lysanne’s workshop tonight.

On departure, Stampin’up! hosted a sailaway party called the big Hello!  We had cool cocktail glasses that flashed.  My kids loved those when we got home.  When I got to the party, I admit, I was a little shy.  It was my first cruise. But like any other stampin’up event, I was greated by the most kind demonstrators who welcomed me on my first cruise.  You see, when you go to convention or you earn the cruise for the first time, stampin up gives you a pin.  So I was easily welcomed because my pin said first time cruise achiever.

I was also very happy to be greated by Sara.  It was the second time we met.  She came with Shelli to my workshop of a lifetime and I was so happy to see a familiar face!  She made me feel at home and my butterflies went away!

Every evening for dinner, we had a customized menu created by Stampin’up!  You may think  I am silly, but every evening, I would ask the waiter if I could take my menu?  I just love to scrapbook and I wanted to include this in my scrapbooking album.  Scrapbooking is to preserve those precious memories! Right!?

here is another pillow gift.  Can you guess what is inside?

Supplies for the make and take session on the cruise which was from midnight to 2am.  I received supplies from the summer mini and a new stamp set that will be in the 2010-2011 idea book catalogue! I will be sharing the make and takes a little later! Next:  projects from general session!

By the way, my SAM gave me a challenge today and you all know by now that I love challenges:  Help me out!  I need to book 6 parties-workshops between June 1st and June 15th!  Email me to set up your date!

It all started about one month ago, when I received my travel wallet.  My travel agent has never sent me a packet like this one, but Stampin up surely knows how to make this girl smile!  It included luggage & name tags, my tickets, storage for our passport and best of all the interior matched the new designer series paper, Island Oasis from the new summer mini catalogue.

When we arrived on the ship, I realized that I was going to be treated like a princess all week.  Honestly, I never had a job that rewarded me like stampin up does and that recognize the hard work like they do!  How wonderful to be thanked in such an amazing way! Are you tempted to join my team yet?  Ask me how?  + I have a bonus surprise this week if you do decide join in! 

Tu veux joindre mon équipe demande moi comment regardez ici?  Je suis à 10 minutes de la frontière du Québec et je demeure en Ontario. J’ai une équipe de démonstratrices du Québec et de l’Ontario ainsi que d’autres provinces Canadiennes.

I was greated to my room with this fabulous magnet! Let the tour begin!

Then, when I entered the room, on the dresser was a water bottle with swedish fishies.  We ate those immediately!

Attached was a fish, we received fishies everyday!  We would bring them to the hospitality room and spinned the Stampin’Up! wheel to win prizes. I won the oasis designer paper, mini vintage tags etc.  Best of all, we were greated with a big smile from the SU staff!

They even thought of our guests!  My husband, Anthony received a pack sac for all the excursions we were going to do and I received this beautiful clutch that matched the travel wallet.

more swedish fishies, we ate those too!

Can you guess what this is?

A huge purse, just the way I like them!  I was even able to put my mac book in there!  Now I just need to find matching sandals!

Do you like what you see?  Wait, there is more!  More  pillow gifts, swaps, share night, makes and takes… to share this week!
