Swaps from On Stage

Hi there!

Wow, so sorry for the huge absence from my blog, afraid life just got in the way... It is like the sentiment from a Stampin' Up stamp set that says, "stuff happens, coffee helps!" Lol. It has been a bit hectic, but I hope to start posting more frequently! (fingers-crossed! Tee hee)

I was lucky enough to secure a place at On Stage in Telford in April (where does the time go?)  This is an amazing event for Stampin' Up demonstrators across the country, we even had a demo from the States and three from Germany - incredible!   We really are spoilt and had an amazing time; we also get to see the new up coming products earlier and can buy selected products before the catalogue launch on 1 June, it is sooo exciting :)

My swaps were mini traveller's notebooks, I used up lots of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and made 40 to swap :)

Apologies for the poor quality of my photo's :(

I received some amazing swaps, if you would like any further information on any of these swaps i.e., stamp set, colours, paper, ribbons, etc, please let me know and I can let you have further details.  Sadly, some do not have any names on them, but if you see your project here, please do let me know and I will happily add your name, thank you so much to everyone who swapped with me, I really appreciate it :)

There really are some amazingly creative ladies out there.. I am sure you will agree when you see these fabulous swaps :)
