Took me long enough, eh??? I've been so crazy busy lately. Whenever I finally do get a free minute to myself, I can only find the energy to play the most addictive game on the planet...Bejewewled Blitz 2 on Facebook. (I shake my fist at you in the name of consistency, Tink!!!) So, about 3 weeks ago, I went to the Stampin' Up! Regionals down in Québec City. I was so very kindly asked by the lovely Carrie Cudney if I would do a presentation on a Workshop. It was super fun and I felt like a rockstar! I ended up losing my voice because I practiced it so many times. The whole thing was in French which is SO not my mother tongue! I had this plan in my head of being so well organized and professional. Ya...I forgot half of what I was going to say and ended up winging it with humor. When all else fails...LOL! Everyone was very supportive and made me feel great. I told Carrie and Shannon that they should feel free to call me to do a presentation at Convention next summer... . Hey, a girl's gotta work it, right? LOL!
This is one of the cards that I demonstrated. I wish I could buy 10 sheets of that velvety paper...
Here's the second one...I must confess that I love this card.
ETA: I'm not a big poster of "recipes" for my projects but I've had a couple of people ask how the sky was made on the polar bear card. It's Night of Navy cardstock, completely stamped in Versamark ink and then covered in Iridescent Ice embossing powder. Heat emboss and voilà!
It was a wicked awesome weekend with my lovely and talented downline and friend, Julie Charbonneau. We chatted about everything under the sun and ate donuts at 11 p.m. What could be better? I got to meet a bunch of awesome women that love this crazy hobby as much as me. All around great weekend! I hope to be able to find some time to post more frequently soon. Don't give up on me, ladies! Ske-doosh.

Great job, Brandi! You are a rock star.
Awesome job on the cards. GORGEOUS!
I have a small piece of that wide ribbon. I'm going to do the same thing with it. I really like how the button looks.
Your cards are beautiful, I love them both!! Mostly I needed to comment because I can SO relate to your Bejeweled Blitz comment...I can't stop!!!! Here's a little something for you to have running through your head all day "One Minute..." Haha. Thanks for sharing :)
Je sais que je te l'ai déjà dis mais j'ai adoré ta conférence lors du séminaire! Brandi la rock star!!! YÈ!
J'espère avoir la chance de te revoir un moment donné et pouvoir jaser plus!
Congratulations! I know you were awesome! I love both cards. I'm completely with you about that flocked paper. Do you know how many packages of that DSP I bought just to make my Christmas cards? Ain't life grand? You go, girl!
these are LOVELY and i'm dying to know how you made the black glittery, multi-colored background! hope you find time to post how-to's on these soon or sometime.

So glad that your presentation went well. You should love that second card, it is awesome.

You did a fab job and I was a proud upline mama! :) Your cards are fabulous. I think I have a soft spot for the bear one, because a) could that bear be any cuter?, b) I love everything that sparkles and c) love that you found a reason why the bear is looking up! ;P
How awesome would that be, you presenting at Convention next summer?!?
BTW, if you have that picture we took together at Regionals, could you e-mail it to me?
TaTa!
