SU! Regional in Chattanooga














I went to Chattanooga yesterday with Mary Ann, Jane, and Alli for Stampin' Up!'s half-day Regional Seminar. We had the best time!!! We laughed A LOT (one of us even snorted!!), ate very well, stamped some cute cards, and saw several display boards full of inspiration! We even won a stamp set!! I won Autumn Adoration and screamed so loud when my name came up that the ladies in front of us JUMPED! I still laugh when I think of that! We got lots of good business tips and saw several wonderful projects demonstrated - hopefully, I will be able to make them and post them here this week. I LOVE the card we made using the poinsettia blossom from Berry Christmas to make a Christmas Tree!! You definitely need a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line it up, but mine turned out OK freehanded! Thanks for stopping by on this cold Monday morning - have a great week!

TODAY'S GREAT TIP!!
The images in Berry Christmas are difficult to line up without a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. Instead of stamping your image on the SAMJ imaging sheet every time you use the set, take a piece of medium-weight acetate that will fit in your stamp box and stamp the images in Staz-On on all four corners (you can even use the back if you need to). This way, you can store the acetate with your stamp set and you're all ready to go any time you want to use it.

Sounds like fun! We went to Chattanooga a few weeks ago for a day trip and loved it. Those cards are gorgeous!
