Stampin Up! Leeds Regional Training

Hello  there how has your weekend been? OMG !! this weather its just glorious, I have definitely been finding jobs to do outside and believe me we had plenty to do including planting ALL the post and baskets for the summer, anyway all done so happy bunny and I got a tan to show for all that hard work.

Last Saturday I attended a Stampin’Up!  Regional Training Event meeting up with lots of my team and fellow demo friends. I always wish I had twice the amount of time to spend catching up with everyone properly, it was such a fun day filled with inspiration and just like always I have come home buzzing with tons of ideas and new found enthusiasm, I just love my job !! I showed you the gifts in my last post and here are our name badges. Sorry not all badges in the photo

We made these in our last training in preparations and they are using the fabulous Bird Die on top of a framelits shaped base. We skipped the wings on this die in favour for rosettes made with our fabby Simply scored board and Newsprint DSP. Vintage brads had to feature and the names were spelt using the Broadsheet Alpha and Just Perfect Alpha or wrote with a calligraphy pen. You can see Anthea’s badge in the picture she used the same framelits dies and the matching set Apothecary Art for hers. There were some fabulous badges on the day everyone designed their own and I am kicking myself for not taking more pictures I did snapped a couple more

   

Cool right?

Our Country manager Paula Gorry looked gorgeous as ever(love the Royal wave LOL) and her sweet assistant Kelly made sure our sugar levels were well topped up, two cuties

 

There was lots of inspiration on display and again I wish I took photos of everything but I felt a strong need to chat with everyone  *sigh* but here’s a few examples

Beautiful card using Bordering on romance made by one of my talented downline Susan Geringer.

Lots of patriotic inspired pretties, sorry don’t have any names to credit the authors

Stunning!!!

Love the clever use of the square punch here, both examples using the Tea Shoppe stamp set.

Next one fit for a Queen!!!

This card was part of Sally Jo’s amazing display, she is such a talented artist and has a personality larger than life, you are never bored in her company.

Lots of out team presented and they did a fabulous job here’s our Lindsay she came down the Friday before and we spent a lovely evening together before heading of for the training. How cute is she in this photo? and I deffo have waist envy looking at her figure

I had a few pictures of Julie who also presented but I caught her mid talk and they are not very flattering, so will refrain from sharing .

then before we knew it crafty time arrived, some of my girls goofing about(ermm read that as Issy goofing around LOL), love these girls !!!

and then I thought let’s all have a group photo you know, all the team. All we had to do is group together, push our chests out pull our tummies in, look at the camera and show some teeth, right?

WRONG!!

LOL everyone is doing their own thing you know, poor Emily must have taken 25 shots LOL

Pouting for the camera and here I am flapping my hands up in the air, my hubby often says that if I had no arms I couldn’t talk.

and then we just gave up!! I love them, I respect them and I LOVE spending time with them!!!  AMAZING WOMEN that make my life better!! and yeah we’re missing some wish you were here girls!!!
