Quick and Easy!

Good Morning (afternoon!) Happy Stampers!

We are just coming off of our Convention 2015 (#inspirecreateshare2015) high and are getting back down to business.

Have you a need for a quick and easy card for any occasion?

Simplest way to achieve that is to find a great image stamp....add a sentiment and embellishment and go about your day.

What makes a card quick and easy?
Find a stamp set (or framelit image) that is a focal point.... Stamp that image (or adhere it!) in the center in a bold color.
Add a quick sentiment and a few background images or some bling...and VIOLA! here you go!

Here are a few great examples from our Design Team that will help you do a quick and easy card for any occasion.

Masculine Monday

A little over half of our design team traveled to the 2015 Stampin Up! Convention this past week. Although we all were a little scattered in different places throughout the four days, we were able to all come together on the last day to snap one group picture of the eleven of us who were there. Of course we had to throw in a little SILLY!!

Convention Fun!!

Convention has been VERY FUN!  I am so proud of our team and the joy and kindness they share with each other and the random acts of kindness that they do for other people.  I am so happy to be a part of a team that not only loves to stamp but also loves to give back and lend a helping hand to those in need!

This year we have 11 of the 19 Design Team Members at Convention!  WOO HOO!  We will have a full team (those of us who are here) picture tomorrow!!

But first...here are a few of the fun things we have done this week...
