SU Regionals 2011

I'm off to SU regionals on Saturday. SU events are always fun and informative. This is my swap this year. I've used the "Creative Elements" stamp set which I received at Convention. I've embossed the "Perfect Plum" card with the "Petals-a-Plenty" embossing folder through the Big Shot, I've cut a "Top Note" die with "Very Vanilla" cardstock. Stamped the leafy flourish in "Garden Green", stamped the flower in "Poppy Parade", stamped the butterfly with "More Mustard" and "Perfect Plum" using the rock n' roll technique. Cut the butterfly out and attached with a dimentional. Daubered some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on the flower and butterfly and popped a pearl in the centre of the flower and on the butterfly. Stamped a greeting using "Short n' Sweet" stamp set.

I'm looking forward to Regionals at the Covention Centre at Darling Harbour but also to Rock Eisteddfod Challenge which is tonight at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, go Lisarow High, you rock the Entertainment Centre one last time. Olivia has been waiting 5 years to do Rock Eisteddfod and finally her time has come, her first and last Rock Eisteddfod. This will be Matt's 5th and final Rock Eisteddfod. Such a great experience for the kids performing at the Entertainment Centre in front of thousands. Can't wait. :-)

Stampin' Up Regionals Sydney

Last Saturday I attended the Stampin' Up Regional meeting in Sydney at the Sofitel Wentworth. It was a great day of catching up with fellow demonstrators, sharing swaps,doing some make and takes and listening to guest demonstrators talk about various topics. The above 3 photos were 3 of the make and takes we did, I am yet to make the 4th one. We received the "Every Moment" stamp set for attending regionals. This was not a set that I had on my wish list but we learnt tricks about watercolouring and it is a lovely little set to do watercolouring with. I will be running some Watercolouring classes in the New Year with this stamp set.

Stampin' Up Regionals

I am off on Saturday to the Stampin' Up Regionals at the Sydney Wentworth.

I am really looking forward to the day.

I have finally finished making my swaps that I will be taking with me.

Here is a peek at them.

A Christmas swap using a non-christmas stamp set, "Scribble This" and the new Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.

This swap I have used the new "Just Believe" stamp set.

I have stamped with bleach trimmed the card with some ribbon and cardstock edged with the new Scallop Trim Border punch, stamped the sentiment and used the Spritzer tool on the sentiment (photo doesn't show this properly).

I have made 30 swaps, so I look forward to receiving 30 swaps from other demos.
