Here is Veronique perfecting a classic look with her decor frame

Please do stop by to see me these decorated frames are much better to view in person, they are stunning!

Some applied craft ink only others applied paste.  I used the paste, love texture! The important part is to emboss the image so it stays put!

My favorite color is Baja Breeze but I was determined to use some other color, the love letter designer paper is beautiful and elegant which made me focus on this designer paper.  After that everything came about on it's own.  This designer paper coordinates with so many accessories, I had to hold back because I wanted to add more.

I am hosting my gala in September for members of my team:Cupcake cuties and they will be doing something similar + be spoiled in more than one way.  I am having an event to thank them for the wonderful year they had.  And it is partly because of them that I am where I want to be today!  So I am very grateful for all of the girls on my team.  Each team member has brought something wonderful to my personal life and my business.

We are on vacation this week and yesterday we went to Calypso Water Park.  It was great!  This picture will be in my journal to remind me of one of the goals I have set for myself and my family.  By the way, I have 3 kids, any trick out there to share with me for having all of them look at the camera at the same time.  I wonder how the Gardner's do it every year on the Gardner Family Photo for the Catalog.

Have a great day!

I always use a different technique to cover my album and always use Stampinup's linen album because you can decorate them in so many ways.  This year I used the Mostly Vintage Stencil but added a little twist to my stencil technique.  I added stencil paste to my album.  And voila, it turned out great.

It rained here in Eastern Ontario, but the sun is just starting to shine, so I took advantage and went at the end of our dock to get a picture.  Nothing like natural daylight for a great picture!

Here is a close up of my album.  So there you go, you get a preview of technique #1 .  Can't wait to see you all, next week & you will get to see & create the next 23 techniques.  For those of you who got the technique album to go, I am almost done.  See you soon!

Wondering why I have supplies from the next 2010 – 2011 Idea Book & Catalogue?  Well as a demonstrator you get to preorder 1 month ahead.  So I have been rolling over with excitement using my baja breeze marker. My favorite color is back.  Youppi doo!

12h55  Door bell rang!  it was Shelli, cute as can be with the most stylish hat.  I had been nervous but in the first 5 sec, she put me at ease.  She was the most amazing, down to earth and kind women I had ever met.  Sara stepped out of the car and we chatted about the luggage and what our plan was going to be.  Despite the luggage being lost, they were so organized!  In 5 min everything was cut and ready to go.  I have never seen paper chopped so fast!  Still I looked at them and had to pinch my self a few times!! Was this real!!!!

My guests arrived and Shelli and Sara greated them, we talked about their adventure and about Shanna’s wedding plans.  Shelli talked about her family with such pride.  How fortunate for her girls to have such a wonderful mom!

Shelli’s workshop was about stencils.  How ironic, I was suppose to present at the Regional in Seracuse, but sadly it was cancelled because of bad weather.  My theme was also stencils.  I just loved them.  I have been using them for numerous techniques but Shelli amazed me with her technique.  Something I hadn’t done with my customers…

This card was her demo card:  love it…..

She used Basic gray cardstock, sage shadow and natural white. 

Designer paper was: Nouveau Chic  (got to order that!), and love the new satin ribbons from the mini.  She used the basic gray ribbon. and embellished with a clear rhinestone.

She placed one of her Elegant trio stencil from the definitely decorative insert on the natural white cardstock and used a dauber to add sage shadow ink.  Shelli left the stencil on and stamped the gratitude stamp from the stamp set define your life, which you can have for FREE if you buy the demonstrator starter kit before the end of Sale-a-bration(March 31st).  For the final touch she spritz black ink with the spritzer tool and the basic black marker.  Voila, tres chic!

 Make and Take # 1

While Shelli was getting ready, Sara "wowed" my guests with the first make and take. It was a adorable pen with a little tag that they had designed with the modern label punch and the trio flower punch.

Then came Make and Take #2

Shelli used the Note cards (you get 20 with envelops for $7.95 canadian).  She cut about half an inch and added the groom specialty paper.  She placed one of her Elegant trio stencil from the definitely decorative insert on the note card and used a dauber to add the orchid opulence ink  (one of Sara’s favorites) Shelli added. The stylish basic black image is called Vintage labels, one of many stamp sets you get for free when you purchase for 65$.  Embellishment with circle ice lilac brads and basic black satin ribbon.  So elegant!

Shelli also made this cute box which I don’t have a picture  for our BOOK TO LOOK.  I guess I got caught in the moment!  But inside was 4 little cards like you see here.  Anyone who booked a workshop that day got one of these cards with a little incentive inside.  We got 3 bookings!! Wooo Ohh for us… Sherry, Therese and Julie get to have a similar stampin party of their own to get lots of great products…For FREE

She used the in color cardstock which will retire in July…

Hostess Gift -how cute is that

Shelli taught of everything.  Look at my cute boxe.  Filled with chocolate (by the way)  We all need a taste of chocolate….  She stamped in french just for me.  "Tu es exceptionnelle" It’s the one of a kind stamp but in french.  I also loved the kaleidoscope designer paper she used. 

Ok I have lots of Stampin up products in my stamp room but Shelli did you know what I don’t have.  Now I have to make another wish list with all these wonderful projects.

When you demonstrated these products, I thought to myself they are so me!  It is like if you knew what I liked.  I am so into vintage…

Anyway this concluded the workshop, my sales are not final but I have to say 3 bookings, 1 recruit and 2 potential recruits is the best workshop ever.  Why?  because I got to spend it with Shelli and Sara.  Thank you!!

Downline Dinner

Top row:  Melissa Lalonde,Melissa Nadeau, Michelle Nadeau, Manon Parent, Roxanne Sauve, Chantale Assaly, Paula Assaly

Bottom row:  Danielle Drouin, Shelli Gardner, me, Sara Gardner and Jennifer Inskip

Some of my downline couldn’t attend but I will give them the scoop at my next team meeting at the end of the month.

Because I live in this little town, Shelli had to drive an hour and she could not drive back to her hotel room before the downline meeting so my husband and I decided to invite Shelli and Sara for dinner.  But then had the brilliant idea of having my downline, my girls attend also.  Shelli was kind enough to agree.  So we had this delicious meal in my home.  It was so much fun!

Thank you again for the wonderful day yesterday. I am in aw mode today! I walked in my stamp room this morning and it felt different! The memories from yesterday’s event, I will treasure forever. The best part was to see the reaction of all the demonstrators during the evening event. (Which I will post about tomorrow)

I am blessed to have met you and Sara and will cherish your friendship forever. My family has been touched by your visit yesterday.  I cannot thank you enough!! I will see you on the Stampin up! cruise in April…
