Convention 2011 Make 'n' Takes

Helloooo

A bit late with this post as Convention was back in November last year, but I finished my projects and thought I would share them with you.
We had four projects to make, a scrapbook page, two cards and some bunting......

We made two lovely cards using the creative elements stampset, the first uses the beautiful flower daubed with champagne mist shimmer paint and some of the crumb cake seam binding ribbon.



The second card was very pretty too, we used the butterfly from the same set and coloured it using stampin'up! pens to give a multicoloured butterfly.....

You can see better in this one that the background has been stamped as well.

We also made this lovely bunting, using the petal cone die and the creative elements stamp set.

It looks sooo pretty hanging up and could lend itself to many an occasion using different colours and stamps...

And lastly a 6x6 scrapbook page, I just need to find a photo to put on it.

I have to say I always like the make'n'takes and these I was really pleased with.
Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by.........

These were some of the decorations made using Stampin'Up! products, they were fantastic and I will show you more later.......

This my friend and co-demonstrator Christine with none other than Mickey & Minnie in the lobby of the New York Hotel, where the Convention was being held. 

And this is me with Mickey & Minnie, we were really chuffed to bump into them with no one around them, we had only popped out at lunch time to get some air and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the glorious sunshine.... what luck.........

Anyhoo thats all for now I will be back with some more.... Thanks for stopping by.....

Convention 2011

Hellooooooo

I have just had the most amazing four days ever,  My fellow demo Christine and I went to the 3rd Stampin'Up! European Convention which was held at Disneyland Paris..... Wahooo
We travelled by train to London and stayed overnight at a hotel across from St Pancras station. Then Thursday morning we caught the Eurostar all the way to Disneyland Paris, we arrived just before lunchtime. We stayed at Disney's Sequoia Lodge Hotel and were soooo lucky as our room was ready for us. So we took our luggage to the room, freshened up a bit and went for an explore.

 This was on the TV when we arrived in our room...cool huh

Across the lake from the Sequoia Lodge was the Disney Village, lots of restaurants and shopping....

It was a bit dull and it had been raining but we thought who cares we are in Disney.....

But Friday was beautiful sunshine and very mild, no coats..... This is a small part of the Sequoia Lodge hotel it was soooo lovely.

Anyhoo that all for now I will be back with lots more...Stay tuned.....
