Amazing 4 days at Convention

Wow - what an amazing 4 days i had at the 2nd European Stampin' Up Convention in London- oooohh where do i begin to tell you the fun I had!

My fun began with meeting up with the lovely Debbi  and Helen and Gatwick airport on the Thursday lunch time and then a mega thanks has to go to StampingCaz(Caroline) for arranging to collect us from Gatwick - thank you so much - you made it so easy!  Caz dropped off Debbi and Helen at the Croydon Park Hotel and then we continued on to our Hotel, the Hilton Croydon.  It was here that i had the chance to meet up (for the first time!) with my SU mummy - the lovely Jules and all the rest of my teamies. It was a delight to meet up with them all at last, face to face, they were all lovely and so welcoming, so thanks girls for making me feel part of it all!  I also met up with my roomie Claire who i had not met before, so thanks Claire for putting up with me for 4 days - hope it wasn't too unbearable!

We all trotted off to Pizza Hut for an early dinner, which turned out to be a treat from our SU mummy - thanks again Julie, we had lots of fun and 'talking tommy' certainly raised a few laughs!  We returned to our Hotel to join in Monica's pre- convention party- as we are part of Monicas downline were were presented with a delicious bag of goodies - a free stamp set, a lovely little sports watch and the must have sweeties,thanks Monica x We did a couple of M&T's, loads of swopping and mega amounts of chatting before turning in for the night, we had an early start the next day!!

Early breakfast, then onto our buses to head to the amazing AddingtonPalace, where we were met by our lovley  CEO Shelli Gardiner - what a delight she is!

We had to register and queue up for our Convention bags - can you imagine the noise of almost 300 eager and excited ladies waiting in line!! OOOh the fun of all the swopping - it got rather frenzied at times!  We had some informative classes and the chance to check out memento mall before lunch - the goodies were beckoning us all, so another queue formed and the swopping fun began all over again!  I got speaking to a lovley French demo while standing in line and she has asked me to be her penfriend, how wonderful and i am looking forward to hearing from her. I have had some lovely swops from some very talented ladies and will treasure them all - so mega thanks goes to everyone who i  managed to swop with xxxx

My lovley supportive SU Mummy, Julie Kettlewell did a fabby presentation and kept us all thoroughly entertained, she even managed to rope in Chris the cameraman - what a hoot! well done Ma - you did us proud xx

The awards dinner was superb - everyone dressed up in their finery and we had a lovely evening, This is just some of the girls in our team, Me,Jules, Melanie(adopted jem for the weekend) Kate and Lynda.

Day 2 followed with more swopping and we got the chance to do some stamping -  we had received 2 new stamp sets  in our convention bags - wooohooo!  We made four projects - well some did - others were so busy chatting that they took there projects home to complete! Some more fantastic presentations, both Shelli and Pam Morgans demo's were inspiring.  We were also told about next years convention - well we all knew that we would be heading to France as we were in Germany last year and the Uk this year - but oooooohhhh the excitement and the cheers when the venue for next year was announced.........we are off to DISNEYLAND PARIS   for convention next year - so if you to would like to join the fun contact me soon to find out about becoming an SU Demonstrator - you won't regret it!   

will catch up soon with more piccies from an amazing weekend

Trendy Trees punch sample tag booklet

Hi been out all day at my sons footie tournament.......and guess what ......no rain -the sun actually shined instead, certainly makes it much more enjoyable not to get soaked!! First game tomorrow at 9am, so he has to be there for 8.15, so another early start!

I was tidying up some bits and found a little box of skateoard stickers and books etc and as I had no use for them was about to bin them when I changed my mind - the little sticker book had plastic coated pages and i had a light bulb moment! The other day i had been wondering what stamps would fit inside some of my SU punches, so i decided to make myself a punch sampler booklet. I split the pages and cut them in half and separated the cover into two pieces. I covered the covers with retired SU d/p and added a stamped trendy tree to the centre of 2 co-ordinating punched scallop circles, I then took all my punches and punched the plastic coated pages with them - i wrote beside each punched hole what the name of the punch was - this allows me to show customers what the punches all punch out like and also allows me to place the sample over text to see what punch fits best. It is kept alltogether with a binding ring and have added some bits of SU ribbon to make it pretty.  Hope you like it x

Trendy Trees

Today it is the turn of tendy trees to have an outing - this is another of the August 2 step stamping offers,another great set at only £10.36 for this month only.Email me on evsline@hotmail.com if you are interested in having this set.

Whisper white base card with layer of retired d/p, used direct to paper technique to colour strip of whisper white card to rose red, attached this to bottom of another layer of d/p, trees stamped with rose red,barely banana and certainly celery ink, edges softened with sponge dauber and certainly celery ink, sentiment from the same stamp set inked in rose red ,pearls added from stash

second card,using the same colours as the card above, chose 2 colours of d/p and the eyelet border punch, I also used the speckle stamp from the  bird on a brach set from yesterday to create background(can't stop using this, as it makes such a subtle background) the sentiment is the second sentiment  stamp from the trendy trees set, pearls added from stash

Off to organise sons footie kit as he has a football tournament this weekend - hope the weather improves as it's very grey here today - whats the betting i will be getting soaked  through for the next 3 days!!!

see you soon

Bird on A branch # 2

Another card using the same products as the previous card, the only added extra was the matt of chocolate chip designer paper.  I brayerds the base card and used a post it note to create the moon, and used the branch to create the  detail at the bottom of the card the sentiment is from the thank you kindly set

Bird on a Branch

Morning everyone -  This is my offering for today -

I have used the versatile Bird on a branch set -its one of the 2 step stamping sets on promotion this month, and at only £11.96 it is super value-

Base card is whisper white folded to create A6 card, this has its edges distressed with a spong dauber using bareyl banana, the little speckle dots in this stamp set is just soooooo useful,makes a great textured background in seconds, have then over stamped  this with the tiny flower cluster around one side edge and the opposite corner.  Smaller panel created by using whisper white and sponging the edges with bashful blue ink to soften the line and again over stamping with the little speckle dots in the same ink, used close tococoa for the branch and so saffron ink for the bird - sentiment also from the same set, stamped in close to cocoa and edged with the same bashful blue ink  as before-gems added from stash

A couple of small thank you cards to pop in with cutomer orders - the stamp is one of the new single stamps available from the current mini catalogue -which is only available till end of september  - so don't miss out, get this super handy stamp now.  It  fits perfectly inside the  SU scalloped square punch too, papers are from a retired set of SU dp
