Melbourne Regional Team gift

Had a great weekend in Melbourne, using and playing with lots of new products.  I also had to participate in Product Playground, which was exciting and fun.  Got to use lots of new products and get sneak peak of new stamps and products.  Can't share with with just yet but will as soon as I can.  (September 2012) But I can share with you the gifts I gave to members of my immediate team.

These are little tool kits, so you can keep all your tools together, and easy to take with you.  They are all made from Stampin' Up!'s wonderful 100% cotton fabric.

Stamp Club Swap

Hello Everyone,

Thought I would share this lovely card, that I have cased from Rita's Creations.  I have changed the colours, and a couple of the images.  I absolutely love this stamp set, and you can use it in so many way.  I have used Sahara Sand as the card base, Whisper white, and stamped in baja breeze.

Here is the original link http://ritascreations.blogspot.com/2012/01/just-add-kathy.html) . Thank you Rita for your inspiration.

And this is Sue (Friend) who has just become a Grandma to her first grandchild.  A dear little boy Landon Arch.
Congratulations Sue.

This little box has delightful chocolates in it.  Well did have, they were divine. I received this with a single stemmed yellow rose when I received 21st place in the Demonstrator of the year.  I was totally surprised, but very honoured.  Check out the bow just love it.

This gorgeous frame was given to many of us at Managers' reception, that was held at Parliament house.  Aaron, Shelli and Pam shared with us a few secrets with the up coming catalogue.  Loads of new products and surprises.  Can't wait.

My name tag, and I am badge. Many demonstrators enjoyed a new class (3 hours of stamping) I am Creative this year.

 
This was one of my swaps for Convention 2012, the technique is called bandana. I made suit case tags, and some bag tags.  It is a little time consuming, but well worth the effort, I think.

Next years Convention is in sunny Brisbane, if you haven't been before, I strongly suggest that you consider it, and start saving to come.

Autumn-Winter Mini Lauch 2012

Had a lovely day on Sunday 1st April , 8 lovely ladies gathered at my place to play with some of our new products. They were all so happy with the wonderful new products, and their projects they created.
I purchased a Sandi MacIver tutorial  http://stampingwithsandi.com/ to do this class, and she has so many wonderful tutorials to purchase.

All these wonderful ladies having fun showing off their creations.

The following photos are of the projects they all made.  A wonderful little memory box.

 The following are the 4 cards.  They are so beautiful, thanks to Sandi MacIver tutorials.

 

If you like these projects, contact me for purchase the  products to make them, or book a workshop and we can create one something like it at your very own home.
