This one was inspired by PaperANGELS team member Dianna and her swaps from Regional training this year... Thanks Love.. for the inspiration..
Inspiration was because we are the PaperANGELS... Just got to get in theme and put wings on anything or everything I can!!! or a Halo.. as most of you will see from photos (in further blogs etc) or remember from convention.. I'm the crazy chick that walks around with a bright pink halo on.. Sadly my team were not in "total" theme this year.. it could have something to do with the fact that I dis not supply them with their halo this year... Come on girls where is your TEAM SPIRIT!!!! I will make you do it next year!!! You know I will!!!

Last week I heard back form Margaret (the wonderful event coordinator) that all the ladies really enjoyed themselves.. and each of them love their creations.... Phew!!! (*sigh... and wipe brow) I've been blessed to make some really lovely friends with these ladies.. and am very grateful to know them...
This card uses the Magnetic Movers & Shapers (pg. 9 Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue 2010)
I can't wait to see some variations on this cute design... Alien... Halloween pumpkins etc...
And this 'formula' is where you cut all your DSP to a measurement and change it up each time you stick some down.. also change greeting /sentiment...
It's great to have a 'formula' to enable you to mass produce the whole years cards at once.. or to make heaps of cards so you can put together some gift packs to give to your friends and family for pressies.... or like me you can sell them.... but be sure that you follow the Angel policy and put a © STAMPIN' UP! on the back of each card... especially if you have used some of their stamps to do pictures or greetings...
Last weekend I had the Cottage Wall Workshop... That I CASED From Liz... Picture above.... And my ladies really loved it... They loved it even more when I let them loose with some of my punches and other stamps to put greeting on their cards.... Here's just a few variations that they came up with!!!
Arhhh.. they have been taught well.... heheh (oh I am so humble!!!)
I had to make the matching card.... I find it's great to be able to show the versatility at a workshop of how we can adapt card designs to Scrap pages and visa versa....
There will be Thank you's and place cards to make and design still.... I believe we should have it all wrapped up quite well; soon... .. and very in tune with the theme!!!
"We are pleased to introduce our Colour Renovation! Because colour is fundamental to who we are as a company, and what you offer as a demonstrator, it's important for you to be able to stay up-to-date with trends in colour. We are thrilled to share with you our updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
The new line of colours will be available with the upcoming 2010-2011 catalogue, but as this is a change that will affect demonstrators worldwide, we wanted to introduce it all at once. More information and tools will be coming later this year as we near the transition, but we wanted you to know the basics now......"
Wow. This really is some exciting news!
Some of our current colours will be discontinued and there will be some brand new colours introduced, along with the return of some of our favourite in-colours!
Our colours will then be organised into 4 Colour Collections, 10 in each family... Which will fit perfectly in my Officeworks 5 draw organisers... hehe... This is rather than the Colour Families we know at the moment (12 in each). As you can see by the picture below some of the colours have moved into different collections and I am liking the way they look - they seem so fresh and vibrant!
There's still quite a bit of time before this comes into effect so don't worry - you will have plenty of time to collect any of your favourite colours that may be discontinued.
If you have favourties that you just can't live without, its a great idea to purchase the ink refill bottle so that your inkpads can last almost forever! And you might like to purchase a pack or 2 of the matching cardstock to see you through.
Honestly I was a little shocked and perhaps pouted for a moment or two when it was first brought to my attention.... but the more I look at the colour collection, and the more time I take to digest the RENOVATION.... the more it grows on me....... I am sure that I will fall in love with the new collections just as much as I love the current ones. As I am sure you will too...
You will see and hear more about this as September draws closer, but for now, enjoy your colours and keep stamping!

2. Snip between each scallop from flat side 3/4 way so you don't snip right off.
3. Gently start creating a curve.
4. Put Adhesive right around the outside edge of your circle (on the back) and slowly adhere your scallop edge around the circle.
Amanda dug deep... and came up with your entry... I will be in touch in the next few days with all the lovely people I met to see if there is more that they would like to know about Stampin' Up!
This weekend I am offering this fantastic special..
This was our stall..With the lovely Suzie in the middle.... being that it was our first we were kind of playing it by ear... So we have come up with some better ways to display our stuff for next time..... Next month we should look even more professional!!!
This is the event you have been waiting for. In fact we are so excited about the new products in the upcoming Autumn Winter Catalogue, we can't wait to share them with you. In the true spirit of Stampin' Up!, the best way to share these new products and techniques is to invite you to use them. We know you will love the 2 make & take cards we have planned, where you will use the new Stampin' Up! Big Shot with dies & embossing folders, a new punch style as well as the Clear Mount Stamp Option. Probably the biggest news we have is the introduction of 3 new exclusive colours and you will get to use our favourite new colour in one of the Make & Takes.
