Back from Paris

Well I can tell you I had a fantastic time at Stampin' Up!s Euopean Convention at Disneyland Paris!!!

There are so many new and exciting products coming soon!

A weekend with friends near and far, sharing our passion of all things Stampin ' Up! with several free stamp sets, crafting and a lot of fun and laughter, just perfect!

I had a huge suprise when I went to register and collect my fabulous business bag - I was given a leadership award - something I never really expected to do was walk across the stage at convention and yes I did that this year!!

The theme this year was "Grow" and the inspirational displays were filled with so many beautiful flowers all made using Stampin' Up! products.

Would like to join me at next year's convention?

2nd and 3rd November 2012

at

Mainz Germany.

Convention Team Gifts

Along with general swaps we also make team gifts to share with demonstrators who are part of "Julie's Jem's", this year there are 18 demonstrators attending convention at Disneyland Paris from our team.

I made another Christmas themed swap using the brilliant Pillow Box die.

The boxes are cut from Cherry Cobbler card with a piece of First Edition paper (I do love this paper!!) stamped with the snowflake trio from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set in Chocolate Chip ink .  I wrapped some Crumb Cake seam binding around the box securing a cinnamon stick and some gorgeous lace trim in the knot. I punched a Very Vanilla "snowflake" with the NEW tripple punch and another in the NEW Gold card - it is so pretty and has a soft brushed effect, a "merry" from the Tiny Tags stamp set all tied to the seam binding with some linen thread.

I will be back tomorrow with more convention gifts.

Convention Swap 2

One of the nicest things about spending time with fellow demonstrators at convention is the sharing of ideas and inspiration and whenever we get to gether we exchange our ideas by swapping cards and small gifts.

 I made a small treat for this "swap" using mini candy canes as my inspiration.

I used Poppy Parade card for the base and the scalloped border punch along the folded edge with a strip of co-ordinating paper from the In Colour paper stack in Poppy Parade. I used Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Chocolate Chip marker pens to colour the sentiment from the fabulous Tags Til Christmas stamp set, this was then punched out with the Scalloped Square punch and fixed to the topper with a dimensional.  A mini candy cane was tied with a some Pool Party ruffled ribbon and placed in to a clear bag and the folded top was taped into place.

I will share my Team Swap soon!!

Convention Swap 1

This is one of my general swap's for convention, I decided to make a card front using the NEW cute Polar Party stamp set.

 I really love these colours together - Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White.

I stamped the little penguin and coloured it with the marker pens in Peach Parfait, Pool Party and Pretty in Pink, I added a little Dazzling Diamonds for the snow too.

I punched out the image using the extra large oval, layering it with the decorative label punch. I used Shimmery White card and embossed it with the polka dots embossing folder, the gorgeous snowflake is punched in Shimmery White card using the Doily Triple Layer punch, with a gem for a bit of sparkle.

I decided to make the layers look like a wrapped parcel with some of the gorgeous scallop dots ribbon in Pretty in Pink.  The sentiment is from the NEW Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, punched with the Word Window punch and layered with the Modern Label punch.

Back soon with more convention makes!!

Convention Candy

One of the best things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is spending time with other demonstrators and sharing ideas.  I took part in an organised card candy swap at convention - I made up 10 sets of my card candy and recieved 9 new sets back - they are all so beautiful!!  

This is the set I created using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set all embossed with silver embossing powder, the colours are Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Sahra Sand.  I have used some of the beautiful new basic pearls and rhinestones - those rhinestones sparkle more than any other gems I have ever used!!  They are excellent value at just £4.50 for 150 assorted pearls/gems!!

These are just a few of the card candy swaps I got in return - it is lovely to have new ideas and they are a perfect way to see some of the beautiful stamp sets I don't yet have.  The only problem I have now is my wish list doesn't get any smaller????

If you would like to join in the fun and share some of the generous swaps at convention next year then why not contact me for an informal no obligation chat and find out how you too could be "Sharing What You Love" in Disneyland Paris!!!!  You don't have to spend your time arranging workshops and classes - you can simply join to get a discount on some of the best products out there - so what are you waiting for contact me today!!!

More from Convention

I have been so busy since I got back from convention as I have my first Christmas class tonight and on Sunday it is Lucy's 9th birthday party - of course it is a Stampin'Up! party!!!  All of the girls will take home their little projects and their very own set of stamps too!!

This was my first convention and I had an amazing time!! This is the bag we got at convention, inside were our FREE stamp sets!!! The bag is really bright and cheerful with plenty of room inside, so I think I will be using it for the workshops I have booked.  I have noticed lucy has get her eye on this bag at the moment, so I will have to watch out!

Throughout the weekend there were some prize patrols and I was lucky enough to win these goodies!!!!!  I will be re-creating some of the fabulous projects demonstrated with them soon, the ribbon is so pretty and a handmade tag with the new basic pearls on!

This year there was a Momento Mall where you could buy Stampin' Up! goodies that are only available to those attending convention!!! This is some of my new stash, unfortunately the beautiful Greenhouse Gala bag had sold out, so I am now patiently waiting for mine to arrive in a few weeks time!!

Must dash and finish setting up for tonight, I will share some of the photos of the projects we are making tonight sometime over the weekend!!

Convention 2010

I have just had the most amazing weekend at the 2010 European Stampin' Up! convention, it was held at the beautiful Addington Palace.

It was wonderful to spend the weekend with my fellow demonstrators sharing our enthusiasm for all things Stampin' Up.  We have had so much fun stamping, swapping cards and of course celebrating the achievements of so many successful demonstrators at the gala evening.

I will post some more pictures of the amazing swaps I have recieved as soon as I have got my camera downloaded - I need to catch up on so many things!!

Although I have just returned home, I have to say I can't wait to do it all over again next year in

Disneyland Paris!!!

You can join in the fun too!!!  If you would like to find out more about joining my team and sharing this magical weekend  e-mail me for more information.
