Hi there peeps. I’m back with another instalment of photos from my recent trip to the USA. So far it’s been all about theme parks and shopping but the main reason I went to Florida was to attend the 30th celebrations for Stampin’ Up! ®. The Live ‘On Stage’ Event was held at the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando.
I was excited about attending On Stage in the USA as I knew it would be pretty special. It lived up to my expectations and so much more. The highlight for me was meeting up with some of my on-line friends who I’ve known for many years through Design Teams or the stamping community in general.
Registration Day
Look who found us on the way into Registration; the lovely Jenny Hall.
We got to meet Patty Bennett and I gave her one of my swaps!
What a good sport she was to have her photo taken with all of us!
Some of the ‘Condo Crew’ meeting Sara Douglass, the CEO of Stampin’ Up! ®
I got to share one of my swaps with Sara and she was keen to know how I got the rusty look on the corrugated silver foil.
Photo Opportunity not to be missed!
It was quiet by the time we rocked up to Registration.

It was an eventful four days catching up with friends and getting a sneak peek at some new products – truly a trip of a lifetime. Would you love to be part of the Stampin’ Up! ® family? I’d be thrilled if you joined my team, the AddINKtive Designers and maybe we could hang out at the next On Stage in New Zealand in April!!
You look just as happy and having fun as you describe it all! I have a big smile on my face and my tired day will end with that happy smile! Thanks for sharing! Love you aussies and kiwis!
