Ok! I think the last pictures I posted about our booth at the Island County Fair kinda looked like underwear, right? Something like this:
and this……
But it's about time to showcase the FUN stuff, don'tcha think?
So here's what I've got for ya today….
First, an overview of the whole space:
And then……
This was the logo I'd designed with "My Digital Studio" (Stampin' Up!'s digital design program) and we used in various forms throughout our displays. Man, oh, man, it took me HOURS of digital manipulation to create the basic of this, but I had a ton of fun with it and thankfully My Digital Studio was up to the task!
There's a version of it on the colorful banners that hung above us, and we had it on our name tags, and also a piece of it on the labels we placed on the backs of our give-away favors. (More about those favors in a moment.)
And well, ok, here's what we were making on site and handing out to those who would stop to talk to us.
The Fair's theme this year was "See EWE there – at the Island County Fair". And after absolutely knocking ourselves out *last* year and decorating our entire booth with their theme, only to receive no recognition at all for it, this year we decided to scale it back, focus mainly on Stampin' Up!® instead, and just give a single "nod" to the theme:
And they turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!
More coming later in future posts, but in the meantime if you visited our booth or got one of our favors, I'd really love it if you would leave a comment with your thoughts! And out of curiousity, also let me know if your favor still has its candy inside, lol!
Just click the "comment" link below and type up a little message. Unfortunately because of the proliferation of automated spamming comments these days, I've had to set my comment system to "moderate", but as soon as I review your comment I'll authorize it for posting. Thanks very much in advance!
Today I'm gonna share with you the new version of "Club" I rolled out recently. Actually, I'm not really calling it "Club" anymore, but rather a "Purchase Power" plan. But if you want to call it Club 2.0, I guess I can understand why.
At any rate it's specifically for Stampin' Up! fans who have BIG wishlists, but perhaps more limited budgets. (I guess that would cover about 99% of us, wouldn't it?)
And I've retained the features that everyone loves about "Clubs", and added a bunch more benefits for greater flexibility and options for your convenience, too.
So while I could type and type and type all day right here, I'm not gonna, 'cuz I already typed it all up once! But if you find yourself as one of those who love Stampin' Up!, and have a BIG wishlist, but a much more modest budget, then I encourage you to download this PDF document and read all about how you can get free products (hostess benefits), and free make & take classes while having fun and treating your budget kindly too!
Then if you hurry, you can get signed up (just call or email) and start chipping away at that wishlist, and get next week's Card Class ($15 value) for FREE!
Hello Island County!!!
Just checkin' in here with a quick update. You may have noticed my relative silence recently; that's because I've been spending every waking moment of the past several weeks laser-focused on getting our booth ready to open on time this morning. (And we "almost" made it, lol!)
Are you excited for the Fair?!? Or are you just dragging yourself and the kids HOME from there with tired and aching feet? Either way, I sure hope we either had a chance to chat – or will soon!
If you HAVEN'T already been there, I wanted to let you know I'll be in our booth every day from mid-afternoon through closing, and all day on Sunday. Yep, that's over half the hours the Fair is open! You can find us in our usual place in the Turner Building; just look UP above the tops of the booths for the familiar Stampin' Up! logo!
This is what our booth looked like Monday morning (the photo is actually of our next-door-neighbor booth, but ours looked exactly the same); come see how Michele and I've transformed the place this week! 🙂
And a couple other things you might like to know…..
If you have picked up a 2-for-1 coupon, you can read more about my Card Classes here.
And if you've been wanting to view that My Digital Studio Overview video again, we'll be streaming it from time to time throughout the run of the Fair. You can catch that at:
http://www.gvolive.com/conference,stamptherock
Just sign in with your full name (and leave the password area blank), and then you may have to wait several minutes for the video to start. (Unfortunately it will probably begin wherever the master video is running, rather than from the beginning, but technology is not yet totally perfect, lol.)
If, after several minutes, the video does not begin, then go ahead and sign out and try again later. The PLAN is to have it looping throughout the weekend, but of course technological gremlins may do their best to interfer with that……
Added Sunday morning:
THANK YOU to all of you coming to meet me this weekend! I've met so many fun, enthusiastic crafters and crafter-wannabees this weekend, and look forward to working with you in the future!
If you haven't yet had a chance to drop in, today is the final day at the fair. I'll be doing my drawing on Monday – from everyone who has given me their email & phone info since Thursday.
So that means if you've filled out a form to join my email list, you're IN.
If you join my list before the end of today (just click on the green button at the top of the next column to the right) – you're IN.
Or if you email me with your info before the end of today – you're IN, too!!!
And if had asked about My Digital Studio, please be sure to watch that video at the link above. Today is the final day I'll be streaming it online.
Now scroll down for my other recent posts, and…….
I'll see you at the FAIR!!!!
I have finally completed my first batch of cardstock samplers! The first 3 are gifts, promised to my hostesses from this past year who placed 1st – 3rd in workshop sales (all had parties over $500), and I've got another handful ready for sale – $30 each.
With over 60 actual samples of Stampin' Up!'s cardstock, including all current In-Colors, standard color collections, Naturals & Confetti, glossy, metallics, vellums and even window sheets, this tool is an awesome reference for all Stampin' Up!® fans. Plan the colors for your papercrafting projects, color-coordinate a wedding or other important shindig, or even select new paint colors when making over a room!
The large book ring (included) gives you plenty of room to add your own 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" samples of other materials (perhaps Designer Series Papers?), and the flexibility to arrange the contents in any way you prefer. The sampler comes sorted by color collection, but it's a snap to rearrange by colors – for instance, putting all reds together, and all greens, etc.
I'll get these set up to order by PayPal in a few days, but for the time being if you want one from this first batch, feel free to just contact me directly!
There is still space available at all 3 sessions of Card Class/Stamp-a-Stack this weekend! And also for our Crafting Adventures Make & Take Class next week.
So if you haven't yet registered for either class yet, there's still time to claim your place at the stampin' table!
I have found a new, VERY easy-to-use sign-up system where you can reserve your place at the session of your choice, and I hope you'll like this new system. But because it's designed soooo simple, there's a remote possibility of spam getting into the reservation system unless I password-protected it. But no worries, though; the password is simple, too. For any of these events, the password will be:
Stamp
Pricing will remain the same as it's been so far in 2011:
So click this green button to go give it a look-see, and if your name isn't already on there, please get yourself signed up for any/all sessions you will be attending……. and I'll see you real soon!
Did you know that even though I am based on Whidbey Island, I also consider part of the mainland to be my working area as well? Yep, that's right! The Stampmobile and I are happy to jump on the ferry and come meet your friends in Mukilteo, Everett or Lynnwood – or even areas somewhat north or south of the those communities, as well.
So I you're one of the many from those areas who land on this site while cruising the 'net, and you're looking for a Stampin' Up! demonstrator who's been around for a while (15 years, this month) – and who's likely to still be there NEXT time you call, too – please don't hesitate to contact me about doing your workshop – or even starting up a monthly class. Drop me a line and let's chat!
It's coming quick, so claim your seat! You won't want to miss all the fun we've got cram-jammed into this special event!
Registration deadline is Wed., May 11th.
