Training Day Make and Takes

As part of the fun at last weekend's Regional Training, we did some make and takes. I loved playing with the new Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Twitterpated papers - so pretty! We made not just one project but three - a scrapbook page, a card and a cute mini milk carton. Just goes to show how versatile these products are... :)

P.S. I'm a genius! :lol: I took 4 photos with me for the make and take as I didn't know what colours we'd be using and what would suit... when I saw the kit it HAD to be this photo of DD2, cos isn't the colour of her cardigan just a perfect match for the cardstock? :D

Summer Mini Makes!

I went to a fantastic, fun, inspiring regional training day yesterday. Met lots of other very lovely and talented Demos and enjoyed lots of chat, giggles, crafting and inspiration.

Part of the fun of the training days is that everyone makes swaps to trade with the other Demos. It's incredible to see the creativity and sheer ingenuity of my fellow Demos and I came back with a fantastic collection of beautiful makes.

I also spent a few days frantically crafting to make my own swaps to take and trade at the training. Most of the stamp sets etc used in these makes are from the fabulous new Summer Mini Catalogue...

Under construction!

Welcome to my new blog! :)

I've been blogging for a while but I thought it was long past time that I started a proper blog specifically for my Stampin' Up! stuff, where I can share my projects and inspiration and the scrummy products available from Stampin' Up! :)

There's lots of prettifying of the blog still to come - and info about Stampin' Up!'s products... and maybe even some goodies to give away! - so watch this space!
