Stampin' Up! is searching for event display stampers for the 2014 annual Convention!!!!
The event display stampers have the privilege of inspiring thousands of Convention goers with projects made with products from the 2014-15 Idea Book and Catalog on the convention display boards.
To be considered for three cards, one scrapbook page and two 3D items need to be collected or created.
I decided to try my hand and submit my projects for the honor of being an 2014 event display stamper. I did a mix of creating as well as collecting for my submission.

This month as a special treat Stamping Royalty gives us two color challenges. The color challenge is Peach Parfait, Summer Starfruit, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point.
Here is the retired Domestic Goddess designer series paper to make a beautiful retro Mother's Day card. I took the dress framelit and dressed it up with a doily apron. The card was perfect for this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge. 
I just absolutely love this week's Retro Sketch. I always wanted to do a triangle card and I get to do it with this week's sketch. It is also perfect for this month's Fiskateers challenge which is to Back to Basics with only using our paper trimmers as a tool. I cheated a little with my rounded corner. I just can't seem to stop doing that!
This week Stamping Royalty brings us a photo inspiration. I just love the pretty pastels in rainbow of colors in the photo. The photo inspired me to pull out the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper for the project.
Here is this week's My Favorite Things sketch. I can't believe my beautiful niece is going to making her first communion this year. When I got the Dress Up Framelit, I knew I wanted to try my hand at making a First Communion dress with it. So her is my dress. I used some tulle to make a veil. The collar on the dress was made with 1" circle punch and then trimmed.
Who doesn't need more birthday cards on hand. This month's workshop is all about birthday cards! Come to my workshop and learn how to heat emboss, sponge and paper pierce and go home with 3 cards.
