OnStage Days 2, 3, & 4

Two weeks ago I was at OnStage in Salt Lake City.  I shared our first days here , here, and here.  

This is the central part of the stage in the ballroom.

Stampin' Up! revealed our Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration promotion coming in January.

We love prize patrol - getting free, new product is very exciting.  My prize is the Bird Banter stamp set coming in January.

The Amazing You stamps and coordinating thinlets are my favorite in the Sale-a-bration promotion.

These displays are samples of the new products.

The Beautiful Peacock is also part of our Sale-a-bration promotion.

Aren't the samples beautiful?  We all oohed and aahed to see the ribbon unraveled for the peacock's tail.

One of our product training workshops was the Bubble Over bundle.

Our team leader gifted us a lovely set of decorated notebooks, pen and the corrugated embellishments.  She didn't know she picked my favorite color!

That night I meet with my gals on the "Inspire, Create, & Share" blog hop team.  Many of us were meeting in person for the first time.  After introductions we swapped cards.

Then we went to dinner.  We always need more time to chat and connect!

Walking past the Capitol Theatre - the lighting is captivating!

Here it is during the day, the restoration is beautiful!

The colors are so vivid.

Pillow gifts from your roomate is a fun tradition.  This usually happens the first night but I was spoiled with gifts every night to celebrate my Silver Elite title.

Saturday was a CenterStage lunch and training for Silver Elite demonstrator titles and above.  I was tickled to have a picture with Sara Douglass our CEO and her mom/founder, Shelly Gardner.

Our table decor.

We all loved the place cards.  Who knew that a copper pipe section could be so elegant?

This is the ballroom entry after our event ended.  People would fill this area as they waited for the doors to open.  It's hard to leave such an energizing event with wonderful friends, so people linger to avoid saying their goodbyes.

The view from our room was spectacular, I really enjoyed the mountains.

These are my gifts to take home from the general event and CenterStage.

That evening I joined my friends and teammates at Caffe Molise for dinner.  It was a treat to have gluten free Italian food that tasted awesome!

Friendships that I appreciate so much!  It was a very sweet last dinner together before packing to head to our home towns.

Before I headed home I had to find Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop.  Friends shared their affection for this adorable, vintage shop.  I was smitten that it shares my name.

It was closed on Sunday (I can't eat their delicacies with my gluten restriction) so the photo opportunity was my goal.

Back home I enjoy using one of my event gifts, a beautiful mug!

Isn't is lovely?  I like the vibrant colors, the unique shape, and the memories!

It was a fantastic event, I am so grateful for my family's support for me to get away.  Thank you for sharing my experience, being a demonstrator is very fulfilling and exciting.  If you would like to be a demonstrator and join my team, you could attend these events with me.  The starter kit is the best deal in our catalog, ask me how to get started.  I look forward to meeting my friends in Las Vegas for OnStage in April!

Stampin' Up! Home Office Tour

Hello, Stamper friends!  I am in Salt Lake City for OnStage, Stampin' Up!'s conference to gather demonstrators for catalog launch, product training, creativity sharing of card swaps, and reconnecting with friends.

Day 1 was a fun kick start as we visited the Stampin' Up! home office.  This is a side view to show the roof top patio, and below it is a sunken patio.  I love the open, bright spaces that tie together the outdoors to their work spaces.

The Legacy room features Stampin' Up! history and displays of our product suites.

This is the Coffee Break Suite.

 Hot chocolate bar with reading nook.

Here is the stamp making process.  It is a metal die on the right of, center is the mold, left is the final rubber stamp.

 We posed in front of the color changing sign.  This is Marcy, my partner in crime, BFF, and we often laughingly call ourselves Lucy and Ethel.

 This is our Merry Little Christmas suite.

 The wreath is gorgeous and is made from our Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper.

 Suzie Barnes is my team leader and friend.  She is one of the Platinum Elite demonstrators featured at the office.

 This display had many pieces and features the Christmas Around the World suite.

 So many fun Christmas products become amazing projects.

Metallic foil papers punched into circles and sewn into banners.

 This wall was filled with frames of chalk art and inspiring quotes.

 I only captured a few.

 I really loved the chalk art and various fonts.

 This room had decor using the Oh So Lovely suite.

 Such a pretty framed piece to feature on a side table.

 This is fun twist on a cork board to display cards.

 Aren't these so pretty and so easy to make?!?

A wall of paper flowers is such a happy sight! 

 I was very pleased to see the chalk wall designed by Sean Douglass just for this home office visit.  He made it for his wife, Sara, our Stampin' Up! CEO.

I loved this quote and had to capture all the inspiration around it.

The striped card was designed by my friend, Dani Dziama. 

I admire this graphic as it shows the values and goals of my company.  All of the walls are white boards for creativity, brainstorming, forecasting, and dreaming big for the next steps at Stampin' Up!  This graphic guides the process and decisions.

 Here we are greeting friends from across the USA as they arrive on the bus transport from the Salt Palace. 

 Time zone clocks in demonstrator support to keep track as they are working with various global markets.

 The lobby is a wide open atrium and very welcoming.  I am so happy to have returned to the home office this year!

There is so much more to share.  Please subscribe to the right so you never miss a post!
