Convention Check-in Day Continued…

By Jen

Yesterday I said I would post a picture of my new Stampin’ Up! messenger bag from Convention, so here it is…

Isn’t it beautiful? If you look closely, you will see Shelli’s signature. Yes, I did get a picture with her and I will spill all the details about that another day. : )

Our bags were filled with three new stamp sets that we used for our make-n-take projects, and our spiral bound Fall-Winter Catalog!! If I have not told you yet, the Designer paper and Simply Scrappin’ Kits are amazing. I was really worried when they retired every DSP and Scrappin’ Kit, but SU! really outdid themselves with what is offered in this catalog. I will not give away all the details, but I was most excited that there are several packages of DSP that are masculine designs!! I really think we needed that, Thanks SU!

Back to Convention… After Bag Pickup and Momento Mall I went on a tour of the Stampin’ Up! Riverton Campus. First of all let me just tell you that I would move to Utah in a heartbeat to work there!!! OMG, working for SU! has got to be the best job ever! Here I have a not so great picture of the waterfall in the entrance to the facility. This is were many employees take their breaks and have lunch. This shot was from up above, would have been better if I had a chance to go downstairs, but I didn’t have enough time.

There is also a creativity room. This room is for employees to hang out relax and explore there own creativity. I am sure they don’t spend the entire day in this room, probably just break time. However, the room is nicely furnished with over-sized bean bag chairs, a pool table, and ping pong table! There is also a cabinet set up with stamping supplies galore!

Check out this wall. I want you to think for a second at how this image makes you feel? When I walked into this room, this was the first wall I noticed. I felt calm, happy, secure, and inspired. I would love to go to work everyday and feel those emotions first thing! Shelli has created an amazing work environment, I wish my house was set up to evoke those emotions!! : )

The distribution center is just as immaculate as all other areas in this facility! Have you ever seen a warehouse as clean and clutter free as this!

The Legacy Room was the next stop on our self-guided tour. This room tells the history of Stampin’ Up! with some great pictures and stories over the last 20 years. There are a few pics I definitely want to show you! Here are some displays that were used to create pictures for various catalogs.

Recognize this picture? This was children’s platroom featured in a recent catalog.

This is the Tart-n-Tangy Room!

I want a bedroom like this one! Check out the Decor Elements!

Isn’t this the calmest baby room! I love the colors. And look at the designs up above…I am thinking this might be NEW Decor Elements coming soon. This is not definite, just my guess.
