More Training Projects

A quick post tonight as I'm off out for a gossip with the girls. 9 of us away for a crafty weekend this Friday to a gorgeous 5 bedroom farm cottage in Dorset and there's a few bits to plan. It's become an annual event and we had such a blast last year we're doing it all again! You never know, I might even show you some photos next week.

Anyway, here's the morning projects from Sunday. With the launch of the new catalogue and with so much new product I thought it would be good idea for everyone to have a play with some of it.
Project one was the Petal Cone Take Out box. The NEW Petal Cone die has been on my wishlist for such a loooong time! I've seen so many gorgeous projects with it - this being one. So simple and cute.
Project 2 was the Candy Wrapper. Another NEW die exclusive to Stampin' Up!
And for the 3rd Project was Pennant Parade Stamp Set along with the matching pennant punch. Such a versatile punch to make it into a Christmas Tree and we used Heat & Stick with Dazzling Diamonds to give it lots of bling.
Right then, I must be off.

See you tomorrow!

Demo's Choice Competition

At Sunday's Training Event I ran a Demo's Choice Competition which I personally absolutely love! The creativitity amongst Demo's and Customers is out of this world and it's fantastic to see what everyone comes up with. It is optional and the standard is always very high but on Sunday the bar was set even higher!

The theme was 'Christmas' and it was actually a big ask as the new catalogue only went live on the 1st October and many of the Demonstrators attending hadn't recieved their first orders yet with the beautiful new Christmas papers in. None the less those that took part made an absolutely fantastic job!

Here are the entries...

And individually.....
Katie Walton's Fabulous Table Setting with adorable Menu (can I come to you for Christmas, Katie?)

Ally Fiddy's giant Sour Cream Pouch and simply adorable houses with battery operated tealights in them. Love, love, LOVE them and they twinkled all day long!

Anna's cute Sledge

Aly's gorgeous Banner!

Julie Spencer cheeky Penguin card
Ali Smith's Elegant Card Pouch with Tags

And finally the winner and runner up was first place.....

Cath Carey's Fantastic Birdhouse

And Jackie Hall's amazin Waterfall Album


Both Cath & Jackie received Pines & Poinsetta's stamp set as their prizes.

I'm sure you'll agree ALL the projects were fantastic. Well done to all of you!  If only I could of kept them myself....

I'll definately back tomorrow with the morning projects from Sunday and different colour combo's on the Everything Eleanor card keeper.

See you then,

Jo
