CATALOGUE LAUNCH AT PLANTS ON STURT

Thank you to our Paper Crafting friends who attended our launch of this years STAMPIN' UP  catalogues on the 9th of Sept at Plants on Sturt.
We had about 40 lovely ladies spend the afternoon with us. It was a great Venue and thanks to our host Sonja beautiful coffee and yummy cakes were available for us.
I worked very hard to make lots of items for our guests to view . Sharen and I demonstrated techniques that could be used in both scrapbooking and card making.

On Entry our guest were given a Rose brooch that I had made out of card stock. A little folded gift pocket, a lucky door entry form and a Number for the 'Piece of Cake' prizes. The lucky ladies who received these pieces of cake (Hubby joking tells people 'They tasted like Cardboard") won the prize that was inside the little boxes shaped like the sections of cake. They also were able to take the 'cake ' home too!!

Looking at the projects and sale of retired stamps.

Yummy Coffee and Cakes Sonja had for us.

New Catalogue Goodness!

 Have you seen the gorgeous new Annual Catalogue?
How about the spectacular Holiday Catalogue?

If not, don't delay!  Check out the links in the side bar to view them online right now, or contact me for your very own copies today!

The Annual Catalogue is now even bigger, with almost the exact same offerings as in the much coveted US Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  The new Holiday Catalogue has grown, no longer a mini, it's 40 pages of seasonal treats, with something delicious hiding on every page.

Hi Friends, I thought you may like to see the videos of the Convention  aptlay named    'I AM'     I attended in Canberra a couple of weeks ago. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW. Stampin' UP you certainly gave us Demonstrators a fun filled, mind blowing 3 day  experience. From the workshops , tutorials, demonstrations, prize giveaways, excellent speakers to the theme song ( that the USA, NZ and Australian staff sang and danced to) It was excellent.
Have a peep at the videos I have posted, highlights, and the 3 winners of the promotional videos that we, if we want to can make be submitted & judged.Humor seems to be a part of it . Well done to the winners. The Prizes are fantastic, If my memory serves me correctly I think 1st was $500 this year.
I have started saving in my lousy jar for next years convention, I don't want to miss it. Love the atmosphere of lots of creative people. And they were so creative.
