I love the way that Ursula James has used the wings from the Pony Party stamp set and stamped on acetate then turned Tess into an angel, don't you just love it, I do.  Ursula has also used an Aqua Painter Pen to create the watercolour effect,  I am so pleased I got to swap with you at Convention.

I love this swap that I got from my friend Helen McEwen, she is such a lovely and very talented lady.  Helen has used the Autumn Days stamp set, Big Shot top note die and sponges.  The colours are all in the latest mini catalogue, aren't they gorgeous.  If you do not already have a copy of the mini catalogue and you would like one I will happily pop one in the post for you or drop it off.

I wanted to share with you all another really cute card that I got from Michelle Dyson at the Stampin' Up Convention.  I love the way that Michelle has used the Scollop Cirlce die to create a card along with a wide variety of other Stampin' Up Products.  I am so pleased I got to swap with you, I love it.

One of the many exciting announcements that they made at Convention was there will be 20% off the Starter Kit! until the 31st July.  That means you can get $655 worth of products for only $299.00

I love ideas that Marelle comes up with and always look forward to getting a swap from her, she is such a talented lady.  I had the pleasure of meeting Marelle when I went on the 2009 Incentive Trip. 

I can not believe how quickly the Stampin' Up! convention went this year but I guess that is always the way when you are having fun.  What more could you want than getting to spend time with all your friends and so many other ladies that all share the same interest as you do and also get creative new ideas for workshops and projects.  I have learnt so many exciting things from the Convention and got some wonderful swaps, unfortunately since I have so many favourites I will not be able to put them all on my website but will share a few with you.   I look forward to sharing the rest with my friends and customers, you are going to love them.  The next Convention is going to be held in Melbourne next year so you will not want to miss that one, if you would like to become a demonstrator and join in the fun I would love to hear from you.

One of my highlights for this years Convention was I placed 5th in Demonstrator of the Year and got to enjoy the moment with some of my special friends who also were also in the top 10.  Congrats to Delys, Karen, Helen, Sharlene, Julia and Jacque.  A big thank you to all my team, friends and customers who helped me to achieve this award. 

Here is one of the swaps that I made for Convention, it is also the easel card that I recently taught in my class so if you would like to make it please let me know.

Once again I have decided to use the Top Note Bigz Die but as you can see I have only cut out half the shape, really neat effect.  This is one of the swaps I was going to make for convention but ended up making something totally different.   Don't you just love the new in-colour Rich Razzleberry, I know I do as it is such a rich and yummy colour.

Here is a photo of the some of the cards and box that I taught in my recent classes.  I used the Fresh-Cut Notes for the main cards and then decided to make flowers from the pieces I had removed from the Fresh Cut notes rather than throwing them away.  I then decided to make a neat little box to put them all in, hope you like them as much as I do.
  

I just wanted to share another card that I cased from Kristines swaps, this one was made by my talented friend Heather, don't you just love it.  I love the way Heather used the Two-Step Bird punch on the Fresh Cuts card, I added an eye using the crop-a-dile and then used crystal effects to 3d it.

When I saw the cute little Pillow Box bigz die I just had to have it lol.  I decided to use the Very Vintage wheel for the background and Vintage Vogue stamp set for the flower.  I also used the extra-large Two-Step Bird punch for the leaves and this is what it ended up looking like, I love it!!
