Well it’s come and gone.  Another Australiasian Scrapbook Expo is over!  A huge weekend and lots of fun.  We were thrilled to meet so many people and chat about Stampin’ Up!   We ran 2 classes a day which saw attendees make a total of 60 mini albums, 60 boxes, 60 purses, 60 note cards and about 900 cards!  (Will be offering these classes by mail in the next few days so keep your eye out!)   I didn’t get a chance to take any pics but my gorgeous friend Alison did… so here’s a couple:

Day Two… Chrissie, Shelly, Me, Vanessa and Tina:

Love this Pic – Tina, Me, Chrissie and Vanessa

And at the end of a long day spent on our feet, stamping, demonstrating, talking….

Our team has such a wonderful and fun bunch of girls… the weekend went quickly and I was thrilled to be a part of it!  Looking forward to next year already! 

Will be back tomorrow to post the new Deal of the Week!

I know…. no posts again…. but I have a good excuse this time!  Myself and some of my wonderful team members have a stand at the Australasian Scrapbook Expo here in Brisbane this weekend!  Come by and say hi, we’ll have demonstrations, a make and take and displays!  Chrissie and I are also running 2 classes each day… and that’s where I’ve been!  Cutting and more cutting of cardstock, patterened paper and more cardstock!  We make a wonderful mess the other night and had to finish up on the floor, cutting and packing! Here’s Chrissie on the floor of my stamp room amongst paper and card scraps! (The kindy kids had a ball with them the next day!)

Well we’re home after an exciting weekend.  We must thank our hotel for the fire alarm waking and evacuating us twice in one night.. We won’t be staying there again! LOL.  I won’t completely fill the next 5 pages with photos, so I’ll just post a few…. Thursday night my team of Demonstrators met in my room.  We all brought swaps along (where we all make lots of the same item and swap with eachother so we all go home with many great ideas) .  It was great to be able to meet up with team members from around Australia that we usually only speak to through the internet and phone.

Stampin’ Up! held Managers Reception Thursday night where we were greeted with gorgeous cakes and decadant hot chocolateserved in these gorgeous mugs… Which we were thrilled to be able to take home (a clean one LOL) with the matching stamp.  And here’s Me, Ruth and Jenny:

Unfortunately the first night in the hotel was far too exciting with our fire alarm going off twice, which meant far too long standing in our PJ’s on a cold street in Sydney, but again it was a great opportunity to mingle with many other Demonstrators staying there!… 

Day one of convention was rather exciting!  New stamps from the coming (in Sept) Idea Book & Catalogue.  Lots of talking, laughing and a bit of learning too!   Here’s Tina, Chrissie and Alice about to enter!  And the room of happy demonstrators.  I will have so many great projects to show you over the coming months… Far too many to post here now.

Convention went by in a blur and soon it was the last evening already… We were lucky to sit with Shelli & Sterling.  It was Tina’s first convention and she was totally thrilled!   We had a little trouble fitting in everyone for a team photo… I think there are a couple of heads missing in there..

Dinner was rather exciting with the announcement that our next incentive trip will be in Fiji!  And it wasn’t just an announcement…

There were the yearly awards given out as well and I was completely amazed to find out I was #8 Demonstrators in the top 25 Demonstrators for 2009/2010…  I didn’t expect that!  I also received awards for recruiting and leadership, and sales.  I was very proud to see that Ruth and Mandy in our team also received awards for recruiting and sales!

That’s all I have to post today, like I said I tried to it to a summary…  So much happends over convention, that it’s far too hard to post everything.  We do have a great special though, that I’ll pop in here and post about again later.  If you are thinking of joining Stampin’ Up!,  from now until the end of July you’ll receive 20% off the starter kit!  So make sure you contact me with any questions you may have.  I’m happy to send you any info, answer your questions, and support you in your Stampin’ Up! journey.  Have a look at the Join Stampin’ Up! page on my web site too…  We’d love to have you join our team!

Okay…. these are the other 2 cards I did for swaps this year!! 

This one is using the Medallion Stamp!  I love this stamp!  The colours here are Basic Black, Basic Gray and Melon Mambo!

 and the last swap card is using my little friend “Tote Ally Tess”.  This time I’ve ignored the accessories that come in her stamp set, and given her some flowers from the Cottage Garden (is that what its’ called?) stamp set, also from our Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.  The paper is from the Cottage Wall Designer Series Pack.  Don’t you love that cute little Tag too!

Is that enough posts for today?  Tired yet? LOL 

I’ve already shown you one of my swap cards (the Fox and Friends Card I made for Retreat) and here is another couple of my swaps for this convention.  I aimed to make about 40 this year and somehow got carried away and I stopped at 82! 

This one is using the Fox and Friends stamp set (well the Owl from that set), the Big Shot Little Leaves Sizzlits die and Circles #2 die  and is such a cute and simple card!  Colours are Soft Suede, So Saffron Cameo Coral.

Well I’m not going to show you them all now! LOL  Check back a bit later this afternoon and I’ll have another swap card up to show you!!!  I think I’m breaking my post record!!

Well today is the official first day of convention, where we all check in and receive our convention bags and goodies!  With hundreds of demonstrators with the SAME bag, I’ve made some “Bag Tags” for my first level team members!  These are a cute way of identifing your bag when they all look the same!  Some of them didn’t photograph so well, but here’s a few: (again you can click to make them bigger).

Here’s Chrissie’s (notice it matches her tin)

This one is Mandy’s:

And one for Susan:

And Alice:

I might post some others for you to see tomorrow… Check back later to see some of my swaps!
