CONVENTION 2011 - MALE CARD SWAP

Please don't be too shocked that I've posted on my blog. Will try and do it more often now. Here's a card swap that I made suitable for a man (they are always difficult to make for). The way swaps work is that we take a number of card fronts that we have made and then swap them will fellow demonstrators. We all then get lots of new ideas.

I used:
Stamps - Woodgrain, Party This Way and Every Little Bit.
Card - Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.
Ink/Markers - Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand.
Accessories - Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder, Curly Label Punch, Word Window Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Sponge Daubers and Crimper.

Thanks for looking! Will be back soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CONVENTION SWAP FROM NOV 2010

OOPS I HAVEN'T UPDATED MY BLOG FOR A LONG TIME!!!

Apologies for not updating my blog for a while. Time seems to have passed so quickly and days turn into weeks and then months and I still haven't updated it. Over the next few weeks I will endeavor to put some cards and projects on that I have made but not put onto my blog. I'll try and update things a bit more often from now on!!!!

CONVENTION 2010

We have just returned from the European Stampin' Up! Convention which was in London this year. We had a fantastic time and met with lots of other demonstrators from the UK, Germany and France. It was great to catch up with some of the people that we met at last years Convention in Germany.

This is our table at the Awards Night. The photo shows our team plus Sandra and Angie fellow UK Demos and Eileen from Demo Support in Germany.


Here's a photo of myself and Eileen having a bit of a giggle. Eileen is a great help to us when we have any problems or questions. She is based in Germany and we speak on the phone regularly so its great when we can catch up each year.

This year the theme for Convention was Share What You Love and the stage was decked out in giant wooden stamp blocks.

Here's a picture of our team. Myself, Abi, Rosina and Steph went to London this year.

Here we are again with Shelli Gardner Co-Founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! She is a great lady and very down to earth.

We all had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of becoming a Demonstrator.
