Pinkie Swaps

So - today I have scheduled this post as I am in Bicester having a fabulous time with my fellow Pinkies!

We will be playing with all the NEW Stampin' Up! products. Learning New Techniques, eating, drinking and having a great time!

As I promised here are pictures of the Swaps I created... I hope my fellow Pinkies like them.





I used You are Loved, Mixed Bunch, Need for Speed, The Open Sea and Stazon Ink to stamp on Shrink plastic and made these fun keyrings!

Just in case anyone didn't 'like' them I also made some edible swaps as they ALWAYS go down well!




Yup - Mint Crisps decorated using the Ornament Keepsake Bundle, What a fun idea for the Christmas Tree!!!

I'll hopefully be able to post some pictures from training tomorrow. Don't forget - if you would like to be part of this great team you can use the link above to contact me or become a Demonstrator.

Pinkies Training - Demonstrators

I'm so excited! The Pink Lads and Ladies (yes we have gentlemen demonstrators in our team!) have monthly and quarterly team training.

The quarterly training is a huge affair and lasts all day. Usually held in a lovely hall in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

We all pitch up in the morning and spend the day watching demonstrations, eating too much cake, drinking unlimited Tea and Coffee, we make some projects ourselves and have a raffle... and more!

Last time there were 40 of us! How brilliant is that?

One of the aspects of 'crafty' get togethers is the swaps. Each person makes a set of identical swaps, one for each attendee - we then swap with each other. You can use your swaps for personal inspiration or you can showcase them at your parties.

A standard swap is a card front you create using Stampin' Up! products. This quarter I have done a couple of different things and had great fun making them!

You'll have to pop back tomorrow to see some pictures!

Hope you are having a great weekend.
