3D Sweet Treats...

And there's more...

As explained in my post here... we demos like to meet up on the Saturday evening for a post-On Stage meal ... catch up some more and share a sweet treat or two... and here is the beautiful table setting I was presented with last Saturday night at Zizzis in Solihull..

And here are the treats close up... thank you so much girls... beautiful!

And apologies for this very quick share today... but not only have I got back to back classes this week...

But my mum is not good at all... so I am very stressed and meeting myself going backwards...

Good job I am (very almost) perfectly OK after my radiotherapy treatment... 

So please do not worry if I do not achieve my usual daily blog post service for a  few weeks...

It just may have to be...

But it won't be because of me... I am feeling great!!

And I will be back to it as soon as I can...

And a sad story about this last Malteser reindeer picture (though Angela may not be happy with me!!!)... just in case any of the team didn't know...  

Angela spent all her time making the 28 or so treat holders to pop her treats in on the day ... but then left the packaging at home!!! Don't you just hate it when that happens... 

On Stage Swap Card - Artistically Asian

So this is the swap card I designed for the Stampin' Up! On Stage event in Solihull, UK yesterday...

A simple little sponged eastern mountain scene... with Artistically Asian bamboo & lettering to finish... click here for details on sponging your own little scene... though I did add a touch of Powder Pink to the top of my mountains on this little eastern mountain scene....

And otherwise this is a post of thank yous!

First of all to Zoe and Jill for your invaluable assistance in making these cards... I actually don't think I would have been able to make any without your help! And I hope you learnt something new about bulk making too... And Hilda, Moya and Nicky for being there in spirit... albeit not on the day... I know how much you wanted to be there...

Secondly... to the 100 or so of you that swapped with me for this card... I may have been a demo for nearly 10 years... and have learnt SO much in that time... but I still find our swapping process so inspirational and a wonderful way to get to know some new very talented people.... love it!

Even though I have to admit that I do not actually like bulk making of cards... but fortunately I am blest with my "assistants"... who love to come and create and chat as we go along! Makes it all a lot more pleasant & fun... and it also makes me stop to decide on a design & make the day before & then get on and do on the day...

Invitation in the post...and colouring opportunity

So today I received my invitation to the Stampin' Up! CentreStage event at On Stage in Solihull, England in November...

But I just couldn't resist pulling out my Stampin Blends for a minute's adult colouring!!! Loving my Stampin Blends markers...

Ah that's better... though I have to admit that the Colour Lifter did come in extra handy after I took this close-up shot!!! Amazing what that little pen can do to remove your "over-the-lines colouring" and smudges!

So what is CentreStage... This is an exclusive invite only event hosted by Stampin Up! to celebrate demonstrators that have worked hard and have achieved Silver Elite+ status in terms of their sales and team numbers/sales... and I am honoured to be amongst them!

Though I do have to admit that I ... and some of my team... do work really hard for me to be there... Thanks for all that you do ladies... and I do hope that at least one of you will be joining me next time! That would make me so so happy!

And for the rest of you... 

Live in the UK and would maybe like to have your own Stampin Up! journey... I would love for you to join my team... just click to contact me here for more information... or click here to join up straightaway... 

And not long to getting your hands on the new Stampin Blends now... just 6 more days... available from 1st November... lots more information on these later...
