My Swap Card for Perth Regionals 2010

Hello there peoples...

I thought I would share my swap card I made for our Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar that was held in Perth yesterday!!! Firstly a little bit about the day well it actually started the night before really! Cue 7:30pm my gorgeous downline kylie comes over and we start our last minute dash to finish our swaps for the next day...(which actually took us to 1:30am) but anyways Im thinking I will get up early and get there before everyone else so Kylie meets me at my place at 7:30am Im bleary eyed and not particularly bushy tailed might I add! So off we go! Having gone to the Perth Convention Centre and knowing the area quite well imagine my own surprise at completely missing the turnoff and having to do the round about way! We get there and Im thinking we are still early no ones gonna be there but as we walk closer to the function room we hear this throng getting louder and louder who wouldve guessed that everyone was just as mad and as keen as us sheesh these stampin girls I dont know! Anyways I grab my 40 swaps out all neatly presented and packaged ready to be traded and had an awesome time going around and swapping with all the girls! I received some beautiful swaps in return and am completely thrilled that it has given me some gorgeous ideas for the year to come!!! Now I hope that everyone that I swapped with likes my card coz Im always doubtful and wonder but Im glad I did it I love participating in swaps and wish I had done more!

So here goes... drumroll... my efforts! Hope you like!!!!

The colours I have used are from our new Brights Collection which are Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie & So Saffron I have use the Friends Never Fade Stampset and the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.

I love attending regionals becasue it gives me a chance to catch up with my upline, sidelines, and downlines who are apart of The Klass Act Team lead by Sarah Klass and enjoy all the awesome presentations by Stampin' Up! and other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators which were truly wonderful I might add. I also enjoyed the Make and Takes they had for us to do this year. Watercolouring would have to be one of my fav techniques and it was wonderful playing around with some new products!!!! Sigh cant wait for Convention in Melbourne next year!!!! 

Bye for now...

My Swap for Team Day

I went to a team day yesterday and we did a Shoebox Swap which are so much fun!!! The idea is to make a card, 3d item, scrap page or whatever then make say 10 kits. Then when you get there you set up your station with your card sample and all the supplies you need to make the card then you all swap chairs and make everyone elses card. It is so much fun because with a regualr swap your just swapping premade cards but with a shoebox swap it is so much more fun to make the actual card you swaped for. So here is my Shoebox Swap card...

The colours I used were Elegant Eggplant (one of my favs) and Only Orange. The stampset I used was from the Autumn Winter Mini Cttage Garden and Sincere Salutations. I used Elegant Eggplant ribbon and the Scallop oval and medim oval punch. Oh and also two way glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter!

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!!!)

Thanks for stopping by to look!!!

CONVENTION 2009!!!!

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!!!

Well thats it for now I will post a pic of my swaps and the other aspects of my trip a bit later!!!
