How can I sum it up but AMAZING! I feel so privileged to be an adult and be able to "go away" and have my engine recharged with being around such amazing and positive people! Brian and Pam totally outdid themselves with an amazing day!
I must say….I was a bit pooped from my plane, trains and automobile experience but I have to say, I cannot tell you how many times I just bust into a chuckle that I thought that I slept the whole way on the plane….just my luck but I still think it is super funny!
I have had so many highlights from yesterday and I soooooo wish that we all could be together to share this fun that we are having! There were a couple of "must haves" that I wanted to accomplish and I am happy to say I can cross them off!
- I was able to meet my downline, Joanna L that live in Georgia…this was a first and it was just wonderful and she had a great time! Fun, FUN!
- There were 2 people that I really, really wanted to meet as this was the 1st…..Michelle G and Claire B…..we have only talked through email but it was a HUGE highlight to meet and get a big hug!
Today I am going to share with you 5 swap cards that I received…..it was OVER THE TOP FUN to swap and I walked away with 55+ cards! The talent is soooo darn amazing!
The whole day was filled with fun, games, education, amazing display boards, tips, make -n-takes and more but leaving from the day…the best feeling was the laughter and reaffirmation that I have for doing what I do!
Here are some BEAUTIES for you! Love them and I look forward to sharing more with you….(I know that if ou are like me, seeing other peoples work is a huge highlight and a great way to get your mojo going!
Is this amazing or what!I was fortunate to sit with Barbara and so proud to have this beautiful card! LOVE her coloring….I will remember this one..its a keeper!
I am NUTS about this card, doesn't it make you feel like Fall is here! I adore the layers and the movement of the leaves…and the burlap ribbon – wowzers!
Is this a "Susan card" or what! I adore everything about it…simple, classic…FUN and this was made by one of "my must meet" people!!!! What a treat!
Fun, FUN! I have this stamp set but I not "inked" it up…adorable and I love the plaid paper. It makes the sweet penguin POP!
This is one STUNNING card! The picture does not do it justice but I think that you can see what a special card this is! The white boarder makes it POP!!!!
Time to count sheep and I hope that you enjoyed seeing these great cards! I leave you with a thought and something that I hope the you can think about and embrace.
The power of you making a card, a gift of art from your heart is priceless….so being together with over 100+ demonstrators made me realize even more how important and meaningful all that we do does make a difference! I hope that you can get "inky" today and have some "me time"
I’m so glad you got there and are having a great time! I hope you slept well. Have a terrific day today.
The cards you shared are beautiful! I love the different stamp used with the wreath framelits.
Cyberhugs!
So happy for you. Beautiful Cards!!

GREAT CARDS and thanks for sharing! If there is any way to share more on this particular wreath card, I am sure many would appreciate it…. It is absolutely GORGEOUS! Have a terrific Day #2 and enjoy!!
Wow! Beautiful cards … thanks so much for sharing them, Susan. Have a great second day!
Gorgeous cards. Now we want to see your name tag! I know it was a HOOT being with Bryan and all the fantastic demonstrators around the US. Enjoy!
What beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing your experiences. You are a comedian as well as a great card maker! Oh and a good soul saving your wonderful animals
Glad you had fun. All those cards are top notch!!
So happy you have had fun and will be having more fun today! How exciting to be there to get ‘recharged’! Can’t imagine what you will be creating now!! Thanks for taking the time to share with us! You’re the best!
Beautiful cards! Wonderful to have positive people around you for a whole day. The fact that you can still chuckle over the whole plane ordeal makes you super positive. Laughing at ourselves when we do a blooper is a very positive attitude. Enjoy today! Who won the ugly name tag contest? What did yours look like?
I’m so happy for you that you were able to go experience WCMD with so many fun and talented demos. I can only imagine the excitement that was in the air! The swap cards are all amazing, and I hope you are able to share more. Have a safe trip home…I hope you really can sleep the whole way this time 🙂
These cards are fabulous. Looking forward to all the ideas you’ll take away from this fun get together and share with us on your blog. Safe and restful travels home.
Wow! Those are great cards. Thanks for sharing them. Can’t wait to see the new ideas you bring back with you. Safe travels on your way home.
I had a big giggle on your sleep experience ….so funny . The cards you are showing today are great idea stokers . Thnx for sharing your fun time ! Will be waiting to hear more !
I sure enjoyed your story of getting to Atlanta but am sorry you had to go through that. Just have to figure, there is a reason it happened that way. Beautiful cards — all of them, but I am especially taken with the wreath one. I see others have asked how it was done and I would love to know as well. Worked on my Christmas card for your swap this weekend and have it ready to send. I am eager to see the other cards you show from yesterday and then we will have the card swap cards to enjoy too. I love that you do all this for us. God bless.

Descartes Susan, What a great trip. I am so proud of you and your many ways you earn trips like this trip. I am so glad I found you and your site a while ago. I enjoy you and your site every day. The cards are so beautiful. There is so much talent out there. Can you please go into a little more detail on the wreath card, this card is stunning. Please enjoy each day of this great trip. Safe travels on the way home. Make sure you get some sleep. Hugs, Elken Hinds
What an amazing weekend adventure you had! I love hearing all about it. The cards you featured here are so cool – each and every one is amazing in their own way! Can’t wait to hear more about the weekend! Can you imagine the conversation your two seat mates had with their significant others? Definitely a Silly Susan adventure! Love it! Off to Brian’s blog to see what he had to say about the weekend!
Thank you Susan, I’m honored. So happy to finally meet you yesterday at WCMD.
Oh, Susan, it sounds like you are.having an amazing time and so inspirational! The swaps are beautiful…such talent! Hopefully your flight home will be “boring.” Can’t wait to read tomorrow’s post.
Hi, Susan, I just saw that you posted my swap card from WCMD! Thank you!! I am very flattered!
To Deb H, who asked about the card, I used the block stamp from the “I Think You’re Great” stamp set and stamped blank paper using the “baby wipe” technique in shades of blue. Then I cut out the wreaths with the wreath die. The wreath is attached to layers of Smoky Slate and I used a stamp from “Chalk Lines” to add the border.
Love your blog!
