Stampin-Up Convention 2012

Well that just flew by, back to reality already! It was 5 days of fun, laughter, friendship and creating.
As always Stampin-Up hosted another fabulous event where we were totally spoilt with New Products and Sneak Peeks from the next Catalogue coming out in Australia/New Zealand on the 1st of Sept.

It was wonderful to catch up with the Just Add Ink girls and friends old and new, for me that is definitely a highlight and my roomies were a laugh a minute. Our days were spent attending classes and general sessions....Oh so much to take in, but heaps of great info and brilliant ideas from everyone.

I returned home with a rather heavier suitcase....:0) Chock full of awesome swaps and new toys, not to mention getting spoilt with yummy pillow gifts every night from Andrea. Here are a few of the swaps l took with me and few little team mate gifts.........

I had only decided in the eleventh hour excitement to make general swaps.......

These sweet little gift card purses are made using the Framelits Dies, Blossom Punch, Boho Punch and Petal a Plenty embossing folder, Basic black grosgrain ribbon, Tag punch and Tiny tags set for the sentiment.

These were my JAI girls Convention Gifts, l was lucky enough to find some cute little notebooks in the same colours as the Twitterpated DSP. I also used the Framelits Dies and Apothecary art set, along with each initial embossed in Cherry Cobbler E/P from the Broadsheet Alpha, l love making and giving personalised gifts and the second pic is them all wrapped up ready for Convention. I packaged them in envelopes made from re-cycling the mountains of brown packing paper that comes with each Stampin-Up order.

I also have some more swaps to share from an organised swap with the JAI girls, but l will wait to share those till l know everyone has received them.

            "Thanks for popping in, enjoy your day!"
