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:

Yay it's Friday...

Hi all,

Hope you're all well... have been very excited about today as for us Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, there's been a number of Field Training Days held in various places up and down the country this week and tonight is the venue nearest to me! It's going to be an exciting time as I've made 20 swap cards to share with the other demonstrators, and in return I'll get some lovely swap cards back :) I'll also get to meet lots of other demonstrators that I've chatted to so much online but have never been face to face with so that's scary but exciting at the same time!

Remember, you've only got a
few more days left to take me up on the fab Chipboard Offer at 25% off. Then from the 1st April onwards take a look at the new Mini Catalogue and what great stamp sets and accessories Stampin' Up! have to offer. Click on the side bar to the left to view :) Enjoy!

I'll post back with news and perhaps my swap cards over the weekend sometime, until then have a good Friday and an even better weekend!
