Life's A Journey

Our Nautical Theme was designed to work for a Travel Page, a Cruise Layout, a Vacation Page, or a Boating Page.  It has general appeal but definitely a masculine feel.  You'll make this layout in my Scrapbooking Class this week on Thursday, August 2nd.  We are starting a new session so the class fee will be collected.  If you are new the class, please give me a heads up by contacting me on my Stampin' Up website:  www.karenangel.stampinup.net

Stampin' Up Convention Make 'n Takes, Stamp Camp and a Little Shopping

I had an amazing and inspiring time at this year's Stampin' Up Convention.  These photos represent some of the many activities at Convention.  We did Make 'n Takes, went to a Stamp Camp, enjoyed making purchases at Memento Mall, and shopping at the Malls in Salt Lake City.  Karen Albin is pointing to the vases that perfectly match our Stampin' Up bags.  WOW!  Stampin' Up is really fashion and decor savy!
