Regional Training Workshop Wow

November 29th, 2009

Hi all.  I’m back today with pictures of the Workshop Wow that I presented at the Stampin’ Up! Regional training in Brisbane yesterday.   I must say it was highly nerve wracking to present to a group of my peers.  I am grateful that I didn’t trip going up the stairs!!  It was embarrasing when the microphone didn’t work and Aaron, the Business Development Manager for SU! Australia had to lift my shirt to fiddle with the microphone thing!  I had a Bridget Jones knicker moment!!  LOL.  I suppose that’s better than a diamonte thong though eh??  LOL

If I was clever, I would have taken many photos prior to the day, however it totally slipped my mind so I only have the one of my kids and not the other.  Same principle though.

envelope scrapbook1Above is the scrapbook closed with a ribbon acting as the belly band.  I have created this scrapbook using 4 Whisper White SU! Envelopes and part of the I Wish Simply Scrappin’ Kit.

Below is the album open.  Both stand up and flat.

envelope scrapbook inserts

Above you can see the inserts that I added pictures of my kids to.  I also created a sample that was un-embellished using Bella Rose DSP.  The inserts were cut at 10×15cm. 

The other project I demonstrated was an accordian card holder.  I made this one using the I wish kit as well.  The other sample I made used the Bella Rose DSP.  Again no pics.  If I had a brain just think of what I could achieve!!!!  LOL

The other sample that I created had 4 little 3×3 love note cards inside.  This sample I created some tree decorations.  I love having pictures of the kids on the tree as I can track their changes each year!!  I think this would make a great gift for grandparents that have everything as well!!

I’m working on the tutorials for both of these projects and if you are interested, please email me.

I hope you enjoyed these.  I had fun making them and i’m very relieved Regionals are over!!  If you were there, please leave a comment, I’d love to hear your feedback.

Until next time,
Happy Stamping!!
Mad
