Love Sparkles - Sneak Peek

Customer thank you cards

This was one of the stamp sets that all On Stage attendees received in Ottawa this past weekend. You can never go wrong with sentiment sets as you can use them on almost all your cards. I went stamp crazy with the "thank you" stamp. The above card was made using the Emboss Resist technique and whisper white embossing powder.

I used daubers to sponge on the colours (from top to bottom): Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz and Bermuda Bay.

2016 CentreStage & OnStage Ottawa

This is the bag that all attendees received which was the perfect size for all the freebies we got

This past weekend I flew to Ottawa with one of my downlines to attend my second Centre Stage and On Stage event. Stampin' Up! likes to spoil their Silver Elite and above demos with a special dinner, training session and goodie bag at an event called Centre Stage. I was humbled that I was able to earn this. I believe that only 227 demos from Canada qualified so that is a great accomplishment but I could not have made it this far without my wonderful team so for that I thank all the girls in my downline.

Write down those 6 month goals

At the OnStage event the next day I got to walk across the stage twice. Once for earning 100K plus flex points and I think the other was for either sales or leadership. I am slowly getting there. That incentive trip will happen one day. I truly believe that. Every year I am getting closer and closer to that trip.

All the ribbons I earned this year

I was so happy that I got to share this experience with my friend and downline Ruth. We both made 30 cards to swap and got back some great swaps. I also found out later that day that I was sitting next to Cathy Caines a SU Artisan - how awesome is that? OnStage is such a great experience and opportunity to meet other demos and to learn business strategies to grow our business. I still have so much to learn but I'm also excited to share what I've learnt with my wonderful downlines.

Stampin' Up! CFO Scott Nielson - I hope he'll remember my name because someday I will be on the incentive trip with him.

My make & take which I decided to modify slightly

When I got back from Ottawa I was excited to challenged my downline of 10 to make it a goal to attend OnStage in April 2017 with me. It will be in Toronto so we won't have very far to go. We will have so much fun. We truly are better together. When you love what you do, it's easy to share that love and to inspire others to be creative.
