Field Training Day - What a lot of lovely cards!

Hi all,

As promised here is a picture of all the swap cards I received from Friday's Field Training Day. As you can see there are a variety of styles and layouts, colours and stamp sets used.


These three cards below are the Make & Takes that we made during Field Training Day. How lucky were we - we each received a brand new stamp set called "Forest Friends" so that we could make our Make & Take cards! What a lovely surprise!!! :) This set is available to buy from the Mini Catalogue from Wednesday 1 April. The new striped grosgrain ribbon is so soft and gorgeous! What a lot of fun we had that evening :)

You can click on the left hand side to view the new Mini Catalogue as a pdf file. Or email me if you'd like a personal copy to flick through in your leisure.


Bye for now,

Alex

What a Lovely Weekend...

WOW: I loved the Stampin' Up! Field Training Day on Friday. It was so much fun and I got to meet lots of lovely other SU Demonstrators :) We all swapped our swap cards that we made and I loved seeing everyone elses too (shall post a picture of them all soon). It was really good to see the variations in cards and luckily there were plenty of cards with different stamp sets, layouts and colours - no two cards were the same :) It was very inspirational and a great evening and start to a relaxing weekend.

Here's my swap card that I made for those that took part in the swap:

Boo Bear...

Hello all,

I was hoping to post my Boo Bear card this morning, but according to some early email messages, a few still haven't received it, despite posting them out on Saturday! Apparently, up north, they've had more snow last night, so that's why poor Boo Bear is being delayed! So, out of the six of us, three of us have Boo Bear cards. The remaining three will hopefully receive him/her soon. Oops, a hint *wink wink* I turned my Boo Bear into a girl :) I'll wait till I hear more news from the remaining recipients before I post mine here.

Until then...

Boo Bear...

Hello all,

WOW with all this snow, it's been lovely sitting here at home with all my crafting goodies surrounding me. I've been busy making cards for a Boo Bear Card Swap that I'm hosting over at SCS. I've been hosting card swaps for the past year now, and have hosted around nine in total, I love it! :)

Anyway, I hosted the Boo Bear Card Swap whereby I bought this adorable die cut and made enough Boo Bears for everyone that participated in the swap. Five each were given to the six of us and it was up to individuals to interpret and make a card using the said die cut.

Well the due date was on Friday just gone and I've got all but one card in. The other one is on it's way, just that due to snow, I've not seen the postman for the past two days! So, when I receive all six sets in, I'll be swapping and posting them all out to the recipients so that everyone gets a selection of different Boo Bear cards back not including their own.

Anyway, I wanted to give you a sneek peak of my Boo Bear Card, and hopefully in due course, I will post the whole card up for you all to see.


Okay, I think I've teased you enough now, so I'll be off.

Until next time...

Alex
