Stampin Up Convention Paris 2011

Well this was my first convention and boy did I love it :) spending time with the thing I love...... Crafting
First day began early as Memento Mall opened at 8am, so had to get there before then to get our convention bag and then get into the queue to go shopping.

Then it was straight into the first session. The room was amazing. With great ideas on the boards to inspire and also demos on stage from Shelli amongst others

And of cause plenty of swapping was done. It's great to get new ideas from other demos from the UK and both France and Germany.

Here is one of the displays that was in the room it's a mini garden made of paper.

Just to finish off here is a picture of my roomies for the weekend, my upline Victoria and my fellow Jelly member Tracy. Thanks for a great weekend ladies

European Stampin up convention

Well everyone I have been to Paris for the annual Stampin up convention and what a great time I had. I meet some lovely ladies and have a lot of new ideas from the swaps I received from the ladies. I saw Shelli demo some great products and ideas :) I saw my upline Victoria collect a selection of awards on stage at the awards dinner. Well done Victoria.

Also just want to share with you a picture of my cat Sophie whilst I was packing for Convention ...... I think she wanted to come and see Minnie with me lol

Wedding and christening cards

Following me publishing my wedding card on Facebook a friend asked if I could make both a wedding card and to match a christening card in light olive. So I set about designing the wedding card first....

Then set about designing the matching christening card. This was something I hadn't done before, matching cards but was very happy with the outcome :)

The end result was great and yes my friend loved them. So did the receiver of the cards

Christmas card class

Well I know what you are all thinking not Christmas already but hey as a crafter you have to start early,with so many lush papers to use and my personal favourite colour combo of cherry cobbler and old olive :)
Here are the pictures from my class on Thursday my ladies made 6 cards and decorated a paper bag.

Giant clothes pegs

After seeing these on a number of American blogs I just so needed them:) so I set about getting me hands on some. I have had to purchase them from the USA as we don't have a stockist here. When they arrived I couldn't wait to start!
So here is the end result ......
