Update to Movin' On!

I was able to link you to the NEW catalog.  Please note that it is a PDF file and it is HUGE!  I am definitely on the road now.  I am not sure if Stampin' Up! will be posting a catalog online other than this PDF file.

The links to the Spanish catalog were not working when I had a chance to update, but I am sure it can be found on the SU website shortly.  Just click in the top right corner and pick United States - Espanol.  This is at www.stampinup.com.

I have to go now!  I will try to update links and such when I can.

Until then...

BYE!

Movin' On!

So as you may know, we are traveling.  Well, I was hoping that the links to the new catalog were going to be posted so that I could provide you with shiny new links.

Alas, Stampin' Up! has been true to it's word.  Looks like it won't be posted until noon (MST).  And we are just about to leave the comfort of our hotel to go camping.  I shall not have internet connection *gasp*!  - unless I steal the SUV and head to a Starbucks...  Hmmm.  That's an idea!

Anyway, in case I can't get back to a computer, you will be able to find a link to the new catalog, both the Fall Winter 08-09 IB&C and Celebrando Creatividad, directly on my "official" Stampin' Up! website.  You can get there by clicking on the Stampin' Up Logo in the top right hand corner of this blog.

Or , if you want to bookmark it, here is the URL: http://TheCreativeStamper.stampinup.net

Enjoy the new catalog!  Hope to "talk" to you soon!

AFK

Yeah, that's me.  AFK - away from keyboard.

I never did post any further updates regarding Convention.  It's so sad.  There is some great stuff!  At Convention, I would stay up late and wake up early.  By the third day, I was totally non-functional.  I really did try to post, but I sat in the lobby of the Hilton and fell asleep with my laptop, well, in my lap!  lol

Convention totally wiped me.  As soon as I got home, I had to start getting ready for our family vacation.  Yes, I know, I just came back from Convention and now I am leaving again.

Note to self - do not schedule a family vacation a few days after Convention.

Anyway, I am bringing my laptop with me and I hope to be able to post.  The 11th is a big day and of course there are a ton of promos debuting that day.  How could I not post?  I'll have to find a Starbucks or a Panera.  I think my WiFi even works at select McDonald's locations.  It's sad when you go on vay-cay and can't bare to leave the laptop behind.  I swear I am attached to this thing!

Well, if you don't hear from me, now you know why.  We'll be out until the 18th.  I should log off now.  I have to finish packing and get the house straightened out.  My housesitter will get lost in this mess if I don't get to cleaning!

Oh!  I did manage to update the Convention Album with some pictures.  It's just the pictures without descriptions, but you'll get the idea.  Check out these 2 pictures of me pointing at some cards.  I found two of my cards on the display boards at Convention.  Wooohooo!  BTW, these are definitely not the best pictures of me.  I crawled under the barriers to get this close.  I didn't have time to pose and look all pretty.  I was scared the SU police were going to scold me for ignoring the barrier!

See ya in a bit!

Day 2- Fun News and More Promised for Tomorrow

Opening day was really fun here at Convention.  Thousands of screaming Stampin' Up! demos.  Ladies swapping, waving flags, wearing funny hats, matching tees.  Wow, it is too hard to describe how much energy and enthusiasm there was in the room!

We saw some really neat NEW stuff and learned about some new things that Stampin' Up! is planning in the future.  Here are a few things...

• Shelli (the owner and co-founder of SU) will have her own signature collection.
• Shelli will have her own blog (soshelli.com) and will be posting like all us other bloggers.  She will have a creative challenge posted in which she will personally choose her favorite of all the entries!
• NEW Decor Element images in different colors!
• Discount on selected new stamp sets!  The promo starts August 11.  Stay tuned to this blog, as I will post the names of the new sets that will be offered at 15% off.  Yeah!

 If you want to see a few more picture than what I have here, check out my Convention Album.  There are a few more pictures there.  I didn't want to bog down this post too much.

Here's a peek (they should us a TON of new images, but I don't want to spill all the beans!

To tide you over a bit, here are some pictures for you to peek at.

Aren't they SO cute!  There are a bunch of new colors and images like I've said.  They showed us a baby themed one and a lot of holiday themed ones.  They are going to debut Phase 2 "in the fall", so I don't want to show you too much!  Add me to your blog reader.  You know I'll post everything as soon as they tell us it's okay!  I have a few more Decor Elements pictures in my Convention album.  More of the same of the as above.

Speaking of Decor Elements, check out this picture of some of the swappers in the Decor Elements swap I hosted.  Look at the guy on the left with the video camera.  Kim (s1itcher46) let him know that we were doing a HUGE swap and he came over to tape us!  SU has camera people throughout Convention taking pictures and videos which they use at closing session.  Maybe so of us will be on the big screen!

Here are some swatches of some of the new Designer Series Paper. I know this doesn't show too much detail, but it's still fun to look at! lol  Be sure to check out the Convention Album to see swatches of ALL the new papers.  I don't know the names of all the packs yet, since I STILL have not really sat down with my catalog.  I have a feeling that I won't be able to view it while I am here in SLC.  I need to snuggle up on my reading couch at home and study it there.

Please forgive the blurriness in my pictures.  This is the best I can get with all those crazy demos jocking for position.  lol  For closer (but a bit blurry) look at some of these, check the Convention Album.  These are Love notes, gift card holders, Carousel notes and die cut blooms.

Check out these new ribbons!  LOVE them!  LOVE them!  Did I already say that???  lol

Notice those rub-ons?  Check out the one on the left.  Halloween! Too cute!

Here is more new stuff!  Top left are the new buttons, right below that are those clips that I mentioned yesterday.  Then stylized brads.  Gorgeous!  There are the new felt flower colors.  VANILLA hodgepodge and then punched CS with our new punches!

I neglected to post this last night, so I am doing it now.  This is a swap from the SCS Dinner from last night.  This card was made by Ruth Schow.  This was my FAVORITE card of the night.  CUTE CUTE CUTE!

Okay, it's 2am.  I need some sleep. Hopefully I have more for you tomorrow night after RockyMountainStamper's 80s night!

Bye for Now!
