Little Leaves - Convention reject!

This turned into a reject for my Convention swaps...too much cutting for 80 swaps, much as I love the Little Leaves die I really didn't have time to cut out and stick down so many!

This card was created by stamping the Postcard image in Early Espresso onto Whisper White card, followed by the Off the Grid image in the same colour. I then added some more background detail with Gorgeous Grunge in So Saffron (I may have withdrawal symptoms when I finally stop using this set ;-)). The card was finished by layering up some punched shapes, with the Flower Shop pansy image placed on top. The flower was stamped in So Saffron and then I used an Early Espresso marker to colour the centre before stamping the image.

Nearly Monday again already!
Hope you have a great week whatever you're doing.
Thanks for taking time to visit.

Convention Swaps

Wow, what a busy couple of months it's been. You'd think I'd dropped of the face of the earth if my blog posts are anything to go by, but no, I'm still here and have been busy doing parties... and going to a party recently too, namely the fantastic Stampin' Up! European Convention, which took place in Manchester last weekend.

As usual when demonstrators get together we like to swap ideas. Here are my swaps - I got some brilliant ideas back and will certainly be using lots of the ideas for upcoming parties and classes, so a big thank you to everyone who swapped with me.




There was so much talent on display, both on stage and off, with lots of beautiful projects for us to take inspiration from. The demonstrators in the Stampin' Up! community are a very talented bunch and the staff who work for Stampin' Up! truly are a wonderful group of people who make absolutely everyone feel welcome and valued, whether you're amongst the top achievers or are enjoying demo'ing Stampin' Up! as a hobby.

I went with my Stamping Starlet team member Colette and it was lovely to spend a few days sharing in the Convention experience together.

Thanks for taking time to visit.
