Well I’m back and catching up after a very busy craft packed weekend. Yesterday was the Papercraft Show at Ecclesfield (I grew up in Ecclesfield and it’s so close to my own home and classes that it was a fabulous venue for me). We had a a busy and HOT day there, I’m impressed at how many people attended considering that blazing sunshine outdoors. Thank you to those of you who stopped by 🙂

Saturday, I was at our Stampin’ Up! Regional Training event in Telford. This was a chance for SU! demonstrators to get together and find out about what’s coming up, play with some new products and swap!

These were the cards that I made for swapping and here is the first batch that I received in return:

Some of the news we heard, I’m not allowed to share for a little while longer but other parts I can safely tell you now (at least I’m pretty sure I can, fingers crossed I don’t get into trouble).

In fact some of you may already have heard that we’re partnering with Becky Higgins and Project Life. Those in the know will be giving a woohoo! For those who don’t, Becky came up with a system/format to make scrapbooking much simpler and quicker. You just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

Here’s a short introduction:

We had a sneak peek of some of these Project Life goodies in one of Saturday’s presentations and some of the ladies on our table even won some in the Prize Patrol (we did consider trying to steal them away but none of us are very effective thieves, lol).

We’ll have a complete Project Life product line in the new annual catalogue, available beginning 1 July but we did find out on Saturday that there’ll be a limited launch of some of the products ahead of the catalogue launch date. SU! haven’t announced the details yet but keep checking back and I’ll keep you updated.

For those who simply can’t wait, then check out the Project Life digital downloads available for MDS – these are available to buy now!

I’ll be back with some more swaps and more news tomorrow.
