I JUST LOVE CATALOGUE LAUNCH EVENTS …

Well … the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Launch Event has come and gone … and it was a wonderful day to create a range of cards using many of the new products from the latest catalogue!

… and it was definitely an indoors-type of day … lots of rain and dreary looking outside … but inside was filled with lots of laughter from a wonderful group of eight lovely ladies, many of whom I have worked with and others I am fortunate to have come to know … all of whom I call friends …

On arrival, each of my guests were given their personalised

…’bag of tricks’ for the day – catalogue, eight project packs, a treasure hunt and a bonus activity sheet, wishlist and catalogue guide …

… and then it was time to start working through each card station … each table was set up to complete two of the projects.

… there was also a display table of some of the new products – DSP, punches, embellishments and ribbons, stamp sets … and a display stand with many of the new framelits/thinlits and some samples …

This is my first attempt at a ‘selfie’ – my daughters will be appalled …

There was even a mini PRODUCT PLAYGROUND for the Popcorn Box … an extra project for anyone who was interested.

Have I told you that I had an awesome day too …

especially with all the goodies giveaways drawn during the day – washi strip under the Stampin’ Up! logo on the grid paper sheet, raffle ticket draw – tickets given out when projects completed-prodcut names used-helping others … treasure hunt and bonus prizes … and the lucky door prize …

The Launch started at 10 – eight ladies, eight projects, laughter and lunch … all over by 3.30 … I was up for more crafting!!

Phew …  now I just need to start creating projects in preparation for my classes between now and January:

Jars in July – July

For the Boys – August

Floral Flourishes – September

Christmas [4 Australia Post] – October

Weathering Layers – November

DETAILS ON MY CALENDAR SOON …

Contact me if you are interested in any of these classes … attending in person or receiving a project kit:

SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY, SAIL AWAY ….

I’m definitely channeling music from my much younger years [a recent post alluded to Marty Rhone – ‘Denim & Lace’ and now today’s offering].

WHY?

Well, I wanted to use SWIRLY BIRDS to create my own boat … I have seen so many amazing nautical projects using this new stamp set!

… and, I also wanted to imagine I was the artistic sort … using PAINTER’S PALETTE … and here is my piece of art!

I can imagine a boat being named “CAREFREE”.

I know that I am definitely going to need to order a lot more Dapper Denim cardstock while it is available as one of the 2016-2018 In Colour palette.
