A Special Team Meeting

Our monthly team meeting was extra special this month!
At our January Team meeting we set a goal for the Sale a bration period (January through March) of $10,000.00.  My team is small, but I knew that $10,000.00 was an achievable goal.  I am so proud of these gals because they reached this goal by the end of February!!
We decided that a night out at Olive Garden was in order.  (a nice break from our traditional team meetings)
I wanted to reward the girls according to their achievements.
Everyone who met their quarterly minimum received this fun Easel Treat Box (inspired by Elaine)

 The Drawer holds 3 Ghiradelli Chocolates

I broke up the sales into 6 levels so that the girls were appropriately rewarded so each level got one extra item added to their gift bag.  Congratulations to Sue who was our top seller for the first quarter of 2017!!   

I arrived early to set up the area we reserved...

 We celebrated 4 birthdays in April, 5 new recruits and one promotion!

Our team loves to share: Lynda shared this beautiful card using a lot of copper and the SPECIAL REASON stamp set and STYLISH STEMS DIES

Inez shared this cute card using the new stamp set  POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE that she won at a Prize Patrol at ONSTAGE.

 She also shared this cute CIRCLE OF SPRING card celebrating Spring

And she shared this darling bumblebee card using the DRAGONFLY DREAMS Stamp Set. She colored the bees wings with GOLD WINK OF STELLA.

Carla brought a card front to show everyone the THIS LITTLE PIGGY stamp set that we all won at ON STAGE.  I cannot wait to play with this cute little Piggy!!

I wanted to focus their Thank you note and table gift using the Sale a bration products.

Top 10

Top 10 picks from last week that I found either on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club FB page or on blogs that I frequent.  Hope these will give you inspiration for your own card making this week. Sorry that I do not have blog links for all of these.

This one was found on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club Facebook page by Fran Ward. I loved how she stamped the hearts like the Brach's Valentine Conversation Hearts.

I have yet to purchase this WINDOW BOX THINLITS DIES, but I loved this wood themed one by Pauline Barnfather

 Chat Wszelaki always inspires me.  I especially liked this one using the WEATHER TOGETHER stamp set and dies because she used the In-Color Envelope Paper.  She is using last years patterns but you can check out this years patterns HERE.  Just saying that just because it is called ENVELOPE PAPER, doesn't mean it can only be used for making or lining envelopes.  It is just a bit thinner paper. Check them all out HERE https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/searchresults.aspx

Another bundle I have not purchased yet but I love this especially because Diane Dimich made the bag and card to coordinate.  The LIFT ME UP BUNDLE saves you 10% if you buy as a bundle and all the Designer Paper she used is a FREE item from Sale a bration.  I especially love the Mint Macron cloud print, but the Watermelon print is also from that Designer Paper.  The 3/8" Sheer Mint Macron Linen Ribbon is so amazing.  It is one of my favorite In-Color colors!!

I fell in love with the DRAGONFLY DREAMS BUNDLE right away - it was one of my first purchases.  Carolina Evans uses two different Designer Papers to showcase the dragonflies in flight...FALLING IN LOVE (left) and SUCCULENT GARDEN (right).  Aren't these cards beautiful??!!

Another beautiful card  by Diane Dimich.  I love how she made a double row of hearts on the border of her card using the SEALED WITH LOVE BUNDLE and the SENDING LOVE Designer Paper Pack (6x6).  

This one is by BJ Peters.  I just love the simplicity of this one, and yet it is so elegant.

I cased this one from Suzanne Netz. I used the new WATERCOLOR PENCILS which are my absolute favorite!!  In fact I actually WON a FREE set of WATERCOLOR PENCILS from my up-up-line, Jill Olsen, in a Facebook contest!!  so cool, right!!  

These cards are from Patty Bennett one of our Million Dollar in sales gals from Stampin' Up!  You know if she has that many sales she must be top notch. I have purchased the STYLISH STEMS DIES, but did not get a chance to use them before camping out here on the couch (LOL), but I can't wait to get to them.

Last but not least - some darling little purses by Sue a YOUTUBE video.

This one is made using a 12x12 piece of Designer Paper, but she also has video for a small one using 6x6 Designer Paper.  Check it out HERE

I hope these samples inspire you to get into your craft room and start creating!!
