My Swaps for Convention!

Well Hello There

I wanted to show you the swaps I did for convention... I did 75 all up. One I donated to Stampin' Up! and three I kept for my portfolio. So all up I was able to Swap 71!!!

Well here they all are...in one glorious neat pile!!!



I did three separate flowers in assorted colours but these next three were my favourite colour combinations

We have the Banksia (which by the way Banksias remind me of The Big Bad Banksia Men from Snugglepot and Cuddlepie an Iconic Australian Childrens book written by the clever May Gibbs)



Then the beautiful Waratah which I believe is NSW's state flower...



Last but certainy not least is the ever delightful Gum Blossoms...



Let me tell ya I was still doing these swaps on the flight over scrunched up in an airplane seat lol! Also the night before the first day of convention in the hotel room lol!!!

Supplies for these cards
Stampset: Blooms Away, Sanded
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Inks: Kiwi Kiss, Black Stazon, for the flowers I used a combination of different colours including Rose red, Summer Sun, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie amongst many others
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Tafetta & Thick Grosgrain Ribbons
Tools: Distressing Tool
Techniques: Crumpling of Cardstock, Blender Pens and Inks (My blender pens are trashed I need new ones lol!!!)

Well Hello

What can I say about Convention??? What an amazing experience!!! The classes were amazingly informative. The presentations were fantastic! Gosh we have some very talented girls in Australia!!! The displays were phenominal. A big congratulations to the Aussie and US staff that put the whole event together. It was soooo worth the trip and I hope to go next year too!

Here is the amazing view from our awesome hotel room complete with Parliment House and Hot Air Balloons!!!

Isnt it just picturesque!!!

Here we are on the first day of convention with the awesome stage behind us!

From L 2 R A Klass Act Girls!!!

Jenny, Me, Sarah, Chantell, Ali and Narelle.

We had an Absolute Ball - late nights, gigling fits, various other antics!!!

Here we are doing the Make n Takes which were absolutely beautiful!

I must say the official photographer was amazing if he saw us trying to take group shots he would walk over and offer to take them for us. We all had cameras so he would take a shot with each one he was an absolute Doll!! Thank You Mr Photographer Man!!!

Here we are in all our finery at the Awards Dinner it was just Scrumptious!!!

Arent the flowers beautiful - afterwards they were giving them away so I yoinked a whole bunch of Roses and gave them to my Nanna who I stayed with for the rest of my trip.

And here is our photo with Shelli who is absolutely gorgeous she is such an inspiration and has the most beautifully artist style!

I also won a Sales Award aswell I was so excited I got to walk accross the stage and hug Shelli. Receiving the Award was definately a highlight of my trip!!!
