Convention Team Meeting

One of my favorite things at convention is my team meeting.  I get to go all out to spoil them.  I rent a banquet room at the Hilton, we have a meeting, get to know each other better, have dinner, swap cards, make new friends before convention starts - so much fun!  This year, these were at each table setting for them.



 I gave my friend Jacque the measurements for the size bag I wanted and all the fabric.  This is what we came up with.  It's a little bit bigger than a card size.


The directions I followed for this project can be found HERE.  I substituted real scissors for the paper ones.

 I knew I wanted to make these from the first moment I saw them on Pinterest.  These are slightly smaller than card size, about 4" x 5", so the scissors fit perfectly.  I made the scissor charms, the rolled flowers on the bags and the keychains below.  I would rather not make another rolled fabric flower as long as I live! *Ü*


You can find the directions I used for the flowers HERE
 
Our meeting topic was on marketing yourself or 'branding' yourself.  I gave them an exercise to complete during convention and if they did, they got one of these matching keychains on the last day.  I was so thrilled that so many of them participated!    Great job girls!

Would you like to meet with us at convention next year?  It will be Stampin' Up!'s 25th anniversary and it is going to be awesome!Joining my Inking Everything team is easy, just click HERE.  If you are thinking about it but have questions, feel free to e-mail.

Hi Becky,

Just love the gifts you made for your DL. Would you be willing to share the dimensions/instructions for the tote bags?

Jovita and I couldn't make it to Convention, but we look forward to seeing you at Leadership.

Thank you!

Joanne, I look forward to seeing both of you also. Always a highlight for me! :) I don't have a pattern. I gave her the dimensions I wanted, 6" tall by 4-1/2" wide by 2" deep and let her come up with a design. Becky

Becky - love everything you do and would love to he one of your downline if I lived in the states. But I am intrigued by the "task" you set your team. Please share as I am "nosy".

Thanx :)

This is just so cute! I am curious, how did you attach the buttons so that they would be reusable? Thanks for sharing with us all : )
