Go Hawks!!

Hello everyone!  Did any of you watch the big game on sunday?  We did!  Our whole region had been pumped all week, just waiting to watch our Seahawks win the Super Bowl!

Early in the week, full excitement set in and I carved a whole set of Seahawk themed stamps using the new Undefined kit.  I stayed up a little too late doing it, but it was so much fun!  (& much easier than you'd think!)  I used it to make this simple, fun card.

The kit comes with a good sized piece of rubber, a matching sized piece of foam, four wood blocks, two carving tools, and an Island Indigo marker.  For my set, I made of course started with the Seahawks logo.  One of my favorite Seahawks is Richard Sherman - so of course, I needed a  Legion of Boom (LOB) stamp.  I also knew that a 12 would be necessary, as would the #GOHAWKS! hashtag.  To finish up my set, I carved a simple football.  Then - ta da - I had the set I wanted!  

I took the stamp with me to church on Sunday.  I knew my entire 1st/2nd grade Sunday School class were all 12's - and that they would love the stamps.  After getting through our lesson, I stamped each of their hands so they'd be ready for the game.  They were so excited!

During the general session - I won a prize patrol!  I was given the new Decorative Window Gift Boxes from the Holiday Catalog, along with Linen Thread, a pack of Hardware Clip Essentials, and an awesome personalized stamp.

After general session was done, we were free to spend the day in the Demonstrator Resource Center.  One of the things we were invited to do was to take part in a service project.  We put together 3,000 "Birthday Kits" for kids who have to spend their birthday in the local Children's Hospital.  The kits included banners, journals, and other fun stuff.

On of the other new products announced was the new Undefined line.  Undefined is Stampin' Up!'s new stamp carving line.  The kit comes with everything you need to carve your own stamp!  It sounds a lot more challenging than it is; and it is so much fun!  My friend Lisa and I decided we wanted to make puzzle piece stamps, in honor of our girls who are both on the Autism Spectrum.

After a full day in the Demo Resource Center, it was back to the hotel for a quick change.  We then rushed back to the Salt Palace for Awards Night, which was followed by a 25th Anniversary Party.

Throughout the whole party, we had live music provided to us by The Spazmatics.  

This party had everything that a great party should have.  Yummy dessert - check!  Party Favors - check!  Fun music - check!  Games - check!  We even had a fun green screen photo opportunity.
