Stampin' Up! European Convention 2013 & other news

Long time since I’ve blogged so I thought I’d give an update on whats been happening in the world of Stampin’ Up!

I’ve recently come back from attending the European Stampin’ Up! convention in Manchester. These are demonstrator only events; where we get time to reflect on the past year, celebrate our high achievers, sneak peeks and the chance to come home with lots of free Stampin’ Up products.

Being in the team Stampin’ Stars we had lots of us at convention and you can see below our team photo…


My up-line Julie Halls gave me this lovely bag charm made using the simply pressed clay.



And Natalie O’Shea gave all of us in the Stampin’ Stars a badge plus a little treat.


I had lots of fun and gained a lovely convention bag and this ended up full of all the great things that were given in the all attendee giveaways plus the make and take packs. A few lucky demonstrators also won goodies in the prize patrols.

As well, convention is also an opportunity for us demonstrators to share ideas and innovative techniques. We do this by creating swaps - this year I made 20 swaps and received 20+ back; with one of my swaps being handed in to be displayed at future events.

Here are two of my favourites that I received; I will upload more in a separate post over the weekend.

Made using the Envelope Punch Board and Season of Style DSP… love love love!









Another favourite that I recieved… 













It was a jam packed weekend and we learned of some great products coming out in the weeks to come… but I cant tell you all of it yet so please check back within the next week for an announcement…
