Onstage Convention freebies

A quick post today to share with you all the freebies I got when I attended our Stampin' Up! convention, otherwise known as Onstage, last weekend 🙂 A handy bag for carrying everything around in. Another bag ... and a shiny pin ... to celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 30th...

Convention freebies

A final (?) post from Convention today as I realised I hadn't shared with you all the freebies we got - and that's always interesting to see right? 🙂 We pay £150 to attend Convention … but I think they turn around and give that money right back to us 😀 As well as...

Convention swaps in return

A picture heavy post today. I've already shared the swaps that I made for convention and now I'm back to show you the ones that I got in return. Thanks so much for all my lovely swaps, I know how much work goes into preparing these and each one is treasured. Some...

Convention swaps – swap three

I hope that you were able to follow our Convention fun over on Facebook (managed to add the link this time 🙂 ). Travelling light (needed the extra space for swaps, freebies and chocolates!) meant that I was only using my phone and iPad  - no computer. And as the...

3 more sleeps to go!

Yay! I'm excited! I'm off to Brussels on Thursday with my crafting buddies to attend the annual Stampin' Up! convention. It's taking place earlier than usual this year which is great - it's happening well ahead of bonfire night which is the usual timing. Hubbie stays...

Convention origami mint holder swaps

Convention origami mint holder swaps

This is my final convention post (I think ) and it was the main swap that I gave to others. I created it from 6" x 6" DSP so that I could get four of these little treats from one sheet of DSP. There's a little sentiment on the front and then the back is all folded...
