Saturday marked the 14th annual demonstrator training event that I have helped organized. Formerly Spring Into Stamping and now called Vacation Stamping School, we moved our event to late summer when Stampin' Up! starting holding On Stage in April. The timing works out perfectly as it gives us an opportunity to train our team and demonstrator friends on the upcoming Holiday Catalog. 
It's a full day of stamping and sharing -- from morning and afternoon demonstration fairs (with a total of 10 booths to view), make and takes, and main stage presentations -- I think it's safe to say that everyone left feeling inspired and motivated as we prepare for the launch of the Holiday Catalog next week. Here are a few photos that capture some of my favorite things:
Terri Gaines, a Million Dollar Sales Achiever, was our guest speaker this year. She shared her 12 Weeks Before Christmas project collection with us and WOW!! Each project was amazing! Here is one of my favorites. I created the half-circle pop up card four years ago and was so excited to see Terri breathe new life into this card design with the Let It Snow Suite and new Snowman Builder Punch. Click here to see my original tutorial.
My favorite technique was one shared by Linda Yearsley. She embossed the colored foil sheets with the new Winter Knit embossing folder, applied Versamark ink, and heat embossed with different metallic embossing powders. The result was stunning!! I can't wait to try this technique!
Have you seen the Feels Like Frost Designer Paper? This 6x6 paper pack is gorgeous with photo-realistic images on one side and metallic designs on the others. Rachel used this paper on the card above and Ramona Simpson created the card below. Ramona also shared how she added color to the metallic side to make the paper more versatile. Wow!!
A special shout-out and thanks to my co-organizers, pictured with me below: Mary Ellen Stites and Meg Loven with long distance support from our upline Kim Peck. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing team to work with!
And many thanks to our special guest from the Stampin' Up! Home Office, Jen Campbell! It was such a treat to hear Jen share a little behind-the-scenes insight on what it was like to work on the Holiday Catalog. She also shared some of her favorite projects that she designed as a Concept Artist.
Stay tuned! I'll be sharing more projects this week, including the make and takes that I designed for Vacation Stamping School!
