Convention samples- Things I love...

This year I was selected to be a Convention Display stamper. I made samples that are displayed on the boards for all the convention goers to see. They use the stamp sets that convention attendees get in their bag! I am so honored to be chosen by Stampin Up! for this amazing opportunity.

I made over 25 samples using 4 stamp sets. I will be sharing them here over the next few weeks. Convention goers should see many of them on the display boards!

off to get some of my swaps done!!!
