Stampin' Up! goes to Disneyland Paris

I would like to just share with the fantastic time I had at the begining of November at Stampin' Up! European Convention.
.
Following on from the first European event in Frankfurt last year, it was lovely to meet up with Shelli, Eileen and other SU staff again, together with friends both old and new, at Addington Palace near London, our venue for 2010.
.
When Demonstrators get together at any events, they always like to 'Inspire, Create and Share' and this means swopping card designs with each other. Here is my card design, unfortunately the photo does not do it justice but I have used the Cherry Cobler and Whisper White cardstock, Sparkling roller with Whisper White Kraft ink, Contempo Christmas stamp set with Cherry Cobler ink and Ornament punch. The bauble hangers were from Tree Trimmings, stamped in basic Black ink and the finished background was sprayed with SU Champagne shimmer paint mixed with isopropanol alcohol to create a lovely sparkle.
At the end of the event, not only were we given the dates for next years Convention on 18th and 19th November 2011 but also the announcement that the 2011 event will be held at ................ Disneyland Paris !! .The roar of excitement from the 300 Demonstrators from UK, France and Germany who attended this year, was fantastic. Everyone is so excited and many, including myself, are already planning to stay for a few days longer.
.
ALL Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are able to attend, so if you fancy becoming part of my team, and joining me on a trip to Disneyland next Autumn, then please contact me to find out more about becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Whether you wish to purchase products for yourself and close friends at a discount price, whether you like to meet people and demonstrate at a few parties/workshops or whether you wish to pursue career propects within Stampin' Up!, there is always a place for you.
.
Please do not be put off by thinking there may already be a demonstrator in your area. There are no territories or boundaries, as we all know different circles of friends and acquantancies and share different ideas. Remember, Stampin' Up! does not just have to be limited to your immediate local area but can be shared across the whole of the UK.
.

Our low cost starter kit has been reduced even further to £119 and contains over £230 of product, which you can tailor to suit yourself. With a small quarterly minimum to remain active, there really is nothing to lose. Even if you only wish to buy products for yourself, a few friends or your local craft club, there are many savings and free products to benefit from.
.
For those of you who attended the recent show in Bury St Edmunds, I have been busy firming up dates for the whole of 2011 which I hope to publish very shortly and mail to you. This will also include details of an Opportunity Event to find out more about benefits of becoming a Demonstrator and a Special Recruitment offer which I will be launching for January 2011.
.
In addition to regular classes in Thetford, Bury St Edmunds, Norwich and Stamford, I would like to hear from anyone interested in attending FREE monthly evening classes. My Stamper's 10 group in Thetford has been very popular and I am now looking to start additional groups at locations near you. Please contact me for further information.

Happy Crafting

NOVEMBER SPECIAL OFFERS .....
.
Just popped onto the Stampin' Up! demo website and seen they have just released some fab Special Offers for Christmas bundles during November.
.
Sorry must dash for work but will update on here later.

SUFFOLK PAPERCRAFT EVENT

.
One of our local craft shops, Stamp Hut in Bury St Edmunds, organised a large craft event yesterday (similar to the regular Sincerely Yours events held in Bury St Edmunds / Thetford) and I was invited to have a Stampin' Up! stand at their Suffolk Papercraft event.
.
As always, it was extremely busy but having done two similar events, we were well organised and prepared !!! I was so grateful to have Emily, to help me. She is a lovely lady who also recently signed up as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator having attended her first all day workshop with me in Stamford !! She has just moved to Mablethorpe so if you have any family or friends in that area who may be interested in learning more about Stampin' Up! or classes/workshops, please let me know and I will put you in touch with her.
.
Here is the Make & Take that everyone made at the event. Due to the sheer volume of visitors to our stand, it was a slightly easier adaptation of my swops for the Convention this weekend. These ones were made in the gorgeous Rich Razzleberry colour and using the baubles from Delightful Decorations and Contempo Christmas. Everyone was impressed by how quickly they could make such a wonderful Christmas card. Our youngest participant was 4yrs old, the oldest was 90yrs old and yes .... we did encourage some of the men too !!!!!!
.
.
Our Free Prize Draw was won
by Frances from Cambridge
.
She was absolutely delighted when I telephoned that evening to give her the good news and will be dropping off her prize on Thursday morning on my way to Convention.
.
We thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many new faces and to be able to have the opportunity to introduce you to the fantastic Stampin' Up! products available. There was lots of interest in classes I run locally and I will be contacting everyone that entered our draw in the next couple of weeks, just as soon as dates and venues for my 2011 classes & workshops have been finalised. For the ladies out of this area, I will be doing my best to contact demonstrators local to you so that you don't miss out.
.
In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me for further information. My husband will tell you that since January I have been glued to my iPhone as I love the convenience of being able to collect emails 'on the run' so to speak.

So ....... please feel free to pop back over the weekend to see photos and details of the swops I am sharing this weekend in London.
.
Happy stamping !
