Back Stage 2023 didn’t disappoint! This is an event for Stampin’ Up! Leaders. We enjoy two days and two evenings building relationships while learning.
I am always saying stamping has brough so many friendships and sisters into my life. ( May of you know I have 3 brothers and no sisters) I arrived a few days early to meet up with friends across the globe. We stamped, talked business, I learned some new ideas. In between we enjoyed some pool time at one of the 9 pools! We chose the large pool with the fountain. We grabbed a burger and drink at the poolside grill. Cooked to perfection, my burger was SOOOOO yummy! Here is a collage of some of the friends that have been in my life for 15+ years. One has been in my life since I began this stamping thing 23 years ago!
Thursday brought more attendees arriving & gatherings as we joined with others for more talk & fun. I was happy to see many friends that I met last year, in New Orleans, arriving.
The festivities officially began Thursday evening. We were all invited to a Swaps and Sweets Party poolside. As usual, it didn’t disappoint! There was a fun game to get our gift. As you can see above, a hand emerged from behind a black curtain, we put our gift ticket in it, and then received our gift. Tables filled with shortcakes, ice cream sundays, veggies, chesses, dips, and so much more! There was a light-up chess game and huge Connect game. If the talk, food and games weren’t enough you could always head over to the dance area. The D.J. kept everyone dancing!
Back Stage 2023 classes were phenominal!
Friday and Saturday was filled with classes. We learned from demonstrators and Key Note Speakers. We chose which classes we wanted to attend live, and those we couldn’t would be available online, later. I have been attending these leader events for over 18 years. You may be thinking, “What can you learn?” I always find a nugget or two from every class. Sometimes it something new, and other times a reminder.
As you can see, it is more than just stamps, inks, and paper! My personal classes/ events, plus those like Backstage 2023, and my team have brought such joy into my life.

Until we meet again. . .
