Stampin' Up! Convention 2012 Attendee stamp set - I Am...

I just love the word fabulous. It means so much more than "great"....it may even sound more exciting than awesome...anyway here is my fabulous (LOL) card for today. At Convention we received this stamp set (I Am...)  just for attending our classes. Easy right? I loved all of my classes so stamp set or not I would attend them all! But, isn't it nice to receive a stamp set for doing something you planned to do anyway? I think so!

For this card I used:
stamp set: I Am
Paper/Ink: Pacific Point, Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla, and Crumb Cake card stock
Accessories: Lace ribbon, Linen Thread, Buttons, Chevron Embossing Folder

I Am...   stamp set

Blast Off stamp set with embossing

Today's card is for my upline's grandson. Not long ago he wasn't feeling so well, so I'm sending this card to cheer him up. Hopefully he is doing much better. It's no fun to be sick, especially when you are little and you don't really understand what's happening.

Here are some more of my swaps for your enjoyment.

More Swap Shares

I have been so impressed by the wonderful swaps from this year. I hope you are enjoying seeing them as well. Before I share today's swaps I want to share this fun picture that answers the question - Do men stamp? Yes, they do and they are very proud about it too!  While walking through the convention center on my way to one of the general sessions...this is what I came upon...

Look closely...do you see the SU shaped out on the back of this demonstrator's head? Isn't it awesome? It's proof positive that men stamp too! Every time I saw him it put a wide smile on my face. He wore it well!

On-line purchases can be made HERE!
Each of these cards was created by a different talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Credit for each is given under each card. Enjoy the swap shares:

Back in the Groove...Convention Swaps!

I think I am finally back into the groove of being home. Back to cooking meals and washing loads of clothes...you know all of the exciting stuff:-) Convention was such an amazing time full of thrills and surprises that it takes a minute to return to reality.

Today I have a few swaps that I got from some creative women while at Convention. I am sure you will ooh and ahh over them the way I have been doing. There are so many. I will continue to share them throughout the week. So if you have time, check back regularly and see the creativity. I am sure you will be inspired.
