An Unforgettable OnStage Experience

Hi Everyone, Sara here…

I am currently sitting in the airport in Brussels waiting to fly home and I am overwhelmed… in a good way. :)

We just wrapped up our first-ever OnStage Live event and our 11 world-wide Local events are concluding as well. Words cannot adequately express my feelings of gratitude, unity, and hope. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an inspiring Stampin’ Up! community.

I don’t think I will be able to capture all that went on around the world, but I have loved watching social media and seeing all of your comments and posts with friends. This is exactly what we were hoping for when we announced these new events!

We began our event here in Brussels with an opening General Session that unveiled the new Occasions (Spring/Summer) catalog! Our CentreStage event came after that later in the evening where we boarded a boat, had a “walking dinner” and a chance to visit with everyone.

Day two of the Live event included General Sessions and Product Spotlight where it actually felt like we were walking through pages of the catalog and being introduced to the amazing products inside. So awesome!

Day three brought with it the tragic events in Paris from the night before. Hearts were heavy, but the outpouring of love strengthened us and brought all of us together.

We concluded our event here with a final General Session and CenterStage Leadership.

All in all, an epic OnStage experience and new chapter in the history of Stampin’ Up! Hugs and love to all of you until we meet again in April!

I absolutely loved our Onstage Melbourne event! The global branding and gifts - the prize patrol badges, the displays, the make and takes were all AMAZING. You should be so proud of what you and your team have accomplished with these events Sara. I had 23 team members at our Australian local events and I'm sure that number will grow each year. THANK YOU!!!

Many thanks to Sara, Stampin' Up! staff & the demonstrators who volunteered to help out at the Tampa Local Event. I had a great time! And thank you for the generosity in the prizes patrol goodies, they are fabulous and I can't wait to play with my new stamps!!!!

Thank You so much Sara and Stampin' Up! for an awesome 1st OnStage Event. Stampin' Up Staff went above and beyond to make this event the best every.

From everything I've seen and heard, OnStage was successful and memorable...wherever you were together! I feel like the proud mama hen, knowing how much work goes into these events, and I can hardly wait to watch and get a taste of what you experienced!

I wasn't in Brussel this year because of our move to the US but I have already booked a room and a plane ticket for On Stage in Salt Lake City in April. See you then!

Thank you so much Sara and the Stampin' Up! team. Our event in Auckland, New Zealand was absolutely wonderful. Emma Parkin-Wilson was fabulous and we were just wowed from start to finish - I will be stalking the site to register for April 2016, and then the thinking cap is going on "because" there is nothing stopping us all from travelling to an international event - we were blessed that some Australian demos came to our event - how special is that? I loved everything ... Im a details person so all the little treasures really pushes my buttons. Project Life here I come. Oh and the humour was just fabulous ... crackup!

Thanks to everyone who made this event so very special!

Very proud to see my lovely Dazzling Dreamers team featured on your blog Shelli - thank you Sara!

In case anyone wonders - Brussels attendees didn't get different bags - those were my team gifts to help us find each other! I am serving on the Global Events Council, so was largely working and running around in-between catching up with my amazing team.

Thank you Sara for your words on Saturday morning. It was hard to follow you on stage - but by carrying on and sharing together we don't let those that seek to destroy win.

Safe travels home Sara x
