Regional Highlights!

Hello Stampin', Scrappin' and Paper-craftin' friends!

This past weekend was absolutely incredible. It was amazing being in a room with hundreds of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the western provinces of Canada and some from the United States! The energy in the room was uplifting. This is part of what Stampin' Up! Regionals is all about.

The minute we left the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel, you could just feel the energy. When we arrived at the Canada Place, the energy was all around us. We went inside, put our bags on the ground in the line-up, and it was instantly then when we began to swap! Here is a picture of me swapping with other demonstrators.

The excitement continued all day long. One main highlight of my day was meeting Shelli Gardner, the CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!. Her presence is amazing. You feel inspired just listening to her talk. Here is a picture of Shelli while welcoming everyone at the beginning of Regionals. We also had a picture taken with Shelli with our demonstrator group Canadian INKspirations. This is our teams name.

Another highlight from Regionals was being asked to go on stage and partake in a friendly Stampin' Up! version game of Family Feud. Bev, Sonia, Maggie and myself made up our "INKspirations" family team... The questions were all related to being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and we had a blast! We were tied going into the third and final round and unfortunately the other team managed to steal the 140 points we had managed to get up on the board... oh well, we each left with a free stamp set and some extra memories! Here's a picture of us up on stage. I am just about to ring in for my question.

I learned many things at Regionals and I will be thrilled to share them with you all! I took 199 swap cards and managed to swap just about every one of them. There should be a card or two on my display boards that each of you will be inspired by.

Happy Stampin'!
