Stampin' Up! Regional in Nevada

The Idea of FILLING a Large Convention Center was a HIT with Susie, my Upline and Big Sista, Candace, my downline and roomie... a few other down and side line... we made a ROAD TRIP.. with my youngest creation...


Lil Arabella was a HIT - ha, ha... I was asked often what she was able to be swapped for....

Candace, at two weeks into becoming a Demonstrator... she was up for the trip and was excited to meet Shelly, the CEO and Driving Force behind Stampin' Up!.... What a pleasure it was to connect w/ this amazing lady!
At Conventions we Stampers like to SWAP - I created 50 3D items and 50 Cards to swap... THIS is my 3D item... what do you think?? I love how I stamped the key 3 times - creating a swinging feel to it... the Big Shot popped out this embossed black heart, this cute lil 3D Pop Up Card in Pretty In Pink, Whisper White and Black was a HIT and a favorite of mine....


As you 'close/collapse' this card it goes flat but makes a big impression...


Flat but Fabulous... I had a blast swapping out for some great ideas... this 3x3" card was a great 'oldie but goodie'...


Kind of like a pink Tiffany's box... I love the look of this Herringbone Impression Plate that I brayered w/ Black and ran onto Whisper White... the black grosgrain ribbon just made it a clean and crisp look...


BAM!! Clean, Crisp and pretty....



Susie Reno is an amazing upline and friend... she's been in my corner from day one and so loving and encouraging... I adore her... it was some good quality time w/ her... and who doesn't love quality girlfriend and mentor time??



Candace Yager and I had a blast... rooming, dining, car rides and laughter... we swapped out hearts' content and really had some fun girlfriend time!! I LOVE the Stampin' Up! family... and having Candace in my life makes it a fun place to be!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
