One of the great things about going to a Stampin’ Up! convention is that you get to see lots and lots of ideas and inspiration.

This year where was an area packed with boards full of swaps that people had given to be pinned up, but there was also an area that had some lovely Christmas Decorations – both for table and general decorations. I thought I’d share the Christmas Decoration ideas as they are totally fab – as you can see for yourself.

I have to be totally biased about this as the colour scheme is right up my alley – I totally love it,  but I know that it’s not everyones cup of tea because it is not traditional Christmas Colours. I took some photos the first day but they did not come out too well as there were far too many people around (and the lighting was not right for my camera) but I went back the second day and things were much quieter.

Anyways here are Shelli’s Christmas Table ideas.

I have lots more convention photos to share with you, and only just realised as I wrote this that I haven’t taken photos of the swaps that I received. I’ll do this and then share some of them in my next post.
