Oh my gosh…time has gotten away from me! Can you believe that is Wednesday and time for a sneak peek at this week’s Pals Paper Arts card? After Convention, I am still so far behind with answering emails and checking everyone’s blogs. Plus, I didn’t get the Twins back from Michelle the Handler’s until late tonight. Of course, they want Mom to get off of the ‘puter and play with them. So…I will oblige them by making this a quick post! I hope you join me for Thursday’s reveal of a vintage-style card!
Would You Like Today’s Card?
It can be yours simply by leaving a comment on today’s and tomorrow’s posts. I will randomly select a winner to receive this card…if he or she would like it!
My Gift from Shelli
As a person who was lucky enough to find someone to enjoy the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit this past April, I was designated a VIP at this year’s Convention. One of my perks, among many, was a VIP tour of the Riverton Stampin’ Up! headquarters. At the end of the tour, each of us received a cellophane bag filled with carmels and a roll of the new IN-Color ribbon. Adorning the bag was a tag/bookmark, made by Shelli and her daughters, Shalae and Sara. Shelli autographed each one! Don’t you just LOVE it? I did!

How cool that you got a hand-stamped card by Shelli! I won her Simply Adorned charm that she and Sara stamped 2 years ago at Convention – it’s a treasure, that’s for sure!
Sorry I missed bumping into you this year! Cindy Beach is my dear friend.
I enjoy hearing the escapades of the twins on your blog!

I am so darn happy for you reaching VIP status, Ann! You are a wonderful face for SU, so kind, so funny, so talented. 🙂
Congratulations on reaching VIP status. Glad SU recognized what we already knew. I’ve seen pictures of you at convention. Looks like you had a really good time. I’d love to win your card.

What a great goodie bag after the tour. How special to receive such nice gifts. Can’t wait to see your card tomorrow. Looks like some pretty colors.
Good to have you back…and creating. Glad to hear you have a great time at the convention! and thank you for sharing the pictures!
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s PPA challenge!
As always…sending my best!
Hi, Bette! It is my card that I am giving away, not Shelli’s bookmark 🙂
Ann!
How nice of you to share your talent with all of us. I am amazed that you are willing to give one of us your very special gift from Shelli – I would be thrilled to receive such a nice gift. I hope I win!
Of course I would love to have this card -the colors look very enticing 🙂
Glad you are back all safe and sound and with VIP status to boot! Fantastic! Love Shelli’s creation too. Was this heat worse in Utah or here? It is a bit more than I can stand! Looking forward to the reveal tomorrow – fun colors! Hope you share more adventures of the convention! So glad Brody’s eye is better in your absence. Give the fellow a chuck under that cute chin of his and Muffy a scratch behind the ear for me. Rest up the best you can!

Congrats on being a SU VIP. Well deserved. Looking forward to the reveal Thursday. I’m sure you’ve put some of the new product to good use. Beautiful bookmark – It could be framed.
Congratulations on your honor at Convention! The bookmark from Shelli is pretty neat too. Love the colors of your card and the pearls…….wow! Would I like one of your cards? I would LOVE one of your cards! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Oh, I love those colours! And the pearls, of course 🙂 So glad to have you back; I missed my daily Ann fix. But not nearly as much as the twins, I’m sure. Have a lovely romp with them.
I could get an Ann original? Oh how that would make my day! You are my “vintage” idol!!!
What an honour for you! The bookmark is beautiful and one I’m sure you will cherish.
I’m excited for the big reveal on your vintage card.
Very interesting, Ann! Eagerly waiting to see the whole card.
It looks like you are using the new color Pool Party. And of course, you’re using your signature pearls. I would love to have a sample of your work. Congrats on your VIP status at SU! You certainly deserve it. The bookmark from Shelli is certainly something to treasure. Glad you had fun.
Ann, it sounds like you had a wonderful time at the convention and was treated like any VIP should be. I am sorry that I didn’t get to meet you. I did look for you one day in the VIP section as your picture was flashed up on the big screen. But to no avail. I am like you in that it has taken a couple of days to recuperate…can’t seem to recover as fast as I used to. Your card looks very intriguing and I am sure that it is just as beautiful as the snippet you have shown us. I am sure that the twins were happy to see you.
The tag is gorgeous and I’m sure the caramels were delicious. I am so happy that you received VIP treatment/recognition.
Have fun playing with the Twins!
Congrats on your VIP status! How amazing that must have been…and well deserved at that!
Would love to have a card of yours. What an honor to be a VIP…a bookmark signed by Shelli would be a treasure…how lucky you are.
I can see pearls…. The sneak peaks always keep me in suspence.. I try to guess what it is going to be like..lol I am never close. I would love to have one of your creations..
hugs

Ann, your sneak peek is fantabulous! I can’t wait to see the full reveal tomorrow.
And that bookmark from Shelli is to die for! What a treasure and so well deserved for you. I’m so glad that convention was a blast!
Adding my congrats on the VIP status! Super! I would love to receive an original card from you!
I’ll be back tomorrow to see the full reveal!
Ann congrats on being a VIP but you always a VIP to many of us in blogland!
Lovin’ the looks of this peek. It reminds of the a chicken wire BG stamp I have…??? I LOVE that stamp but forgot about until now…Can’t wait to see the reveal.
PS:
You must be so happy to be home with the twins, but exhausted from your trip too. I know my 11 days with grandchildren wore me out! Gramma is pooped!
Hugs.
How wonderful for you to be honored by Shelli as a VIP! You are definitely a VIP in my book! That bookmark is beautiful!
Love the sneak peek, I can’t wait to see the reveal tomorrow, and would surely love to win one of your gorgeous creations!
So glad you got to be an VIP of SU! Congrats! You certainly deserve it with all of your great creations, of course that wasn’t the reason you were picked this time, but I am sure if the went on merits of creating you would be an VIP then too.
I can see Pearls on your card and they look like they are colored to match your card.
I hope I can be lucky enough to be the one to receive this card!
oh Ann! To receive a piece of original Ann artwork?? Of course I am interested! Love that bookmark too! I can imaging how behind you are…I didn’t even go but I am behind just from following everyone’s adventures!
