Artisan Award - Adorable Cupcakes

One of the cool things about Convention is seeing all of the creative samples and ideas! From display boards to classes to card swaps, it's creative overload! I think you could spend 24 hours a day there for the entire length of Convention and still not see everything! It can be overwhelming!

Every year Stampin' Up! presents the "Artisan Award" to about 8 or 10 demonstrators who have submitted items made with our products. They have to make a certain number of cards, a certain number of scrapbook pages, and some 3-D items. I thought I would start to show you some of my favorites.

These were created by Summer Stone, one of the AA winners this year. I took an overall picture of her display, but I couldn't get individual close-ups of items that were on the boards. For some reason my camera wasn't being cooperative this year. (Does that mean I need a new one?)

You might be able to click on the picture below for a larger image.

I was able to get a few close-ups of the 3-D display because it was a little closer. Check out this adorable suitcase and doll.

I think my favorite is this four-fold card made with the Cupcake Builder Punch. I love the combination of the bright colors and the different backgrounds. She also used glitter for some extra punch (like it needed it!)

It's beyond cute - it's stinkin' adorable!

I'll be showing you more samples from the Artisan Award winners and more of the wonderful samples that were on display at Convention. So stay tuned for more!

By the way, if you enjoy looking at my posts and seeing the ideas I've put up for you, would you please leave me a comment now and then? Sometimes I feel like there's nobody out there and I'm talking to myself...
