Happy Sunday friends !
Oh my goodness so many bright, shiny & purple things showing up this week . The 1st thing I got in the mail was this beautiful Invite from Stampin'Up! to attend the Managers party at Leadership in a couple months . Love how they used the Elegant Eggplant for the invite ~Very elegant .
Next mail box goody is something shiny ~Stampin'Up! sent me my Million dollar pin Love it! For every milestone Stampin'Up! has a pin . They have the career milestone and also promotion pins, leadership pins etc… so awesome ! You may remember from my new stampin studio tour HERE ( in the video it's at 9:06 where the frame shows up) that I had made a special frame to hold all my pins.
Next mail goody is something sparkly, purple and it's a pickle . YES it's not a dream LOL! Thank you Sandy Weakly for your amazing sparkly purple pickle ornament you sent me . Big Daddy and I were so amazed that there is such an ornament … really every time we go to Bronners Christmas Wonderland ( which we just went last weekend ) they only have the green pickle ornaments . Thank you Sandy . I love it!
I also love your card you sent me~ It's so sparkly too !
Last but not least Wednesday afternoon Stampin'Up! sent me 2 of my videos we made while at Stampin Up! last month for my Million Dollar party .
When I hit the Million Dollar career milestone Stampin'Up! contacted me and asked if there was anything I wanted to do for the time we would be there, It could be absolutely anything I wanted to do and before the actual milestone I was talking to Shelli and a few others at Stampin up! and mentioned I would love to make a few videos with Stampin'Up! video man Dan Herbas
(he is Amazing! ) and Dan said yes that would be fun so that was something I wanted to do while we were at the home office .
Dan mentioned he wanted to make me a commercial for my business that represents me and what I do ~ OH my that wasn't what I was thinking I was thinking of making a video with Shelli (video #2) . 1st thing on the agenda was to think of a commerical currently that we could play off of .
The 1st person I talk to about thinking of a commerical is Jessie and she says something about the commercial about milkbones teeth brushing with a dog name Rudy ( that video below ). After seeing the commerical on you tube Jessie and I were going through all the scenes together. That commerical shows how Ted & Rudy do everything together from excerising, eating, and even brushing their teeth so thats how Jessie and I came up with the "Me and my stampers we do everyting together" even the end with ted going to change ~ I forget my card 🙂
Talked to Dan and it all went from there . the Actual video is 1 minute long but the video took over 6 hours to film the main reason was Hubby & I were there during a work day and everyone was scheduled to be a part of my commerical so every 1/2hr or so a new group would come in to film the next scene. I seriously had so much FUN! and it turned out so AWESOME .
The whole story with my commerical is that my stamping crew represents all of YOU!~ Yes SU! employee's even Shelli are in the video SU! empolyee's make all our fabulous products/ answer our calls ~Stampin'Up! Rocks and so do all of my stampers (You)!
The funny parts make the whole video come together so much fun and so many laughs filming this video .
- Carlos cuts his tie in the we CUT together scene ,
- Carlos runs his tie through the big shot in the We PUNCH together scene ,
then we Accessorize together You can't see Shannon West in this shot she was on the far left side but we did that scene a few times and she was throwing the sequins and the funny thing was when I got back to the hotel I had sequins falling out of my bra ( so funny).
Then the we GLITTER together .. That scene was the most fun (All the scenes were so much fun ) but blowing glitter in the air everywhere well I knew we wouldn't ever do that at home and of course we had to do a few takes of blowing the glitter and every time it got better cause I think the 1st time it was like we were doing something we shouldn't be doing LOL!
By the 3rd time we were pros at blowing glitter lol! and let me tell you it was Everywhere ! As you can tell in some of the video shots of me, there was glitter everywhere on my face, shirt, arms, hair. That was so so so much fun!
Okay the end of the video was not planned. Between takes and waiting for everyone to come in to film the next scene, Big Daddy sat down and off the top of his head he says that .
We all started laughing so hard & we all agreed we had to have that in the video somewhere. It was so GREAT! Everyone can stamp~ even a cave man LOL! Isn't that the truth?
Dan our video guy is not working at Stampin'Up! any longer his last day was Friday when we were leaving to come home and having him make my videos is such an honor . Thank you Dan !
You can check out what Dan is up to HERE
Video #2 that video is with Shelli ( that video is awesome too) and I can't share that video yet since she uses brand new goodies in the video but I will share it with all of you when I can . 1 thing about the video with Shelli is what you see is what you get . No extra takes, it was 1 take and it was awesome!

Dawn, You always amaze me with your upbeat attitude. I know you had your hip surgery just a short time prior to your amazing trip to celebrate your awesome achievement, but there you are, just all smiles and energy and happiness just sparkling all over you…well, the sparkles might have been sequins and glitter, but your commercial is fantastic. Congrats to you and the Cave Man, it’s evident how much he loves and supports you in your business. I have watched your videos for years and after watching the dryer sheet card video, I remembered I used to make those, so even though my Christmas cards are all finished, had to make another. Had to dig a used dryer sheet out of the trash can, lol, but it was clean.
LOL Your hubby rocked it Dawn!
WTG!!
Dawn, you looked like you were having too much fun blowing all that glitter around. Don’t we all want to do that? I just loved THE CAVE MAN stamping ending, perfect!! You go girl to the next million!
Your commercial was hysterical! Glad I read your narration first. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog – your videos and cards have helped me get my mojo back! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Awesome commercial…love the hubby scene!
love the video…and special guest star “Big Daddy” was special…
sorry to say the glittery purple pickle is one of a kind…it started out green and then was painted (several coats) with Glitter Works paint from Michael’s…enjoy!
Your video is GREAT DAWN!!!! HOW FUN!!!!!!!!! 😀 YOU’RE A STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
OMGosh Dawn…that was soooooo AWESOME!!! I loved it & the end was PERFECT with your hubby!!! Can’t wait to see the one with Shelli.
