Yesterday I headed off for a spot of training Stampin’ Stars style with my fellow Stampin’ Stars demos. I had a fun packed day down in Crawley. There is a slightly serious side to the day – it is after all “training” but training Stampin’ Up! style involves meeting other demos, swapping business ideas and project ideas and making a few things too. Needless to say there was a lot of fun and laughter going on too.

Here’s the swap that I took with me.

This is a mini version of the picture frame that I made and posted a week or so ago – see Don’t Forget your Handbag. The only real difference (apart from the size) is that I used the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder to make the frame instead of the Simply Scored Board that I used on the picture to make the scored edges (you couldn’t see them too well in the photo).

I made 12 of these (including one for myself) and here’s some of the swaps I received in return. Apologies for the poor photos – believe it or not, the sun was still out when I got home!

Those of you coming to class this month will be able to see all these gorgeous swaps in person. The photos simply don’t do them justice.
