Summer Mini Swaps!

In November Stampin' Up! held our Regional Training here in Brisbane at the Hilton.

I LOVE Stampin' Up! events so much, you get free stamps & accessories, do make & takes, see some fabulous ideas, and get to catch up with other demonstrators. But there's also SWAPS! What a highlight they are at any SU event. Demonstrators who would like to swap make a bulk amount of a card they wish to swap with others and in exchange get a card back. Some take 100's to swap, others a handful. I took along 35 swaps to this event... here's mine.



On the back you put your name etc and the recipe of your project. Some of the ladies made fabulous Christmas treat ideas... boxes etc, you may see some of them on display at the next workshop we catch up at.

There were 2 cards though that caught my eye amongst the swaps I received as they are featuring products from the current Summer Mini Catalogue, and just happen to be 2 of the sets in the catalogue that I really like.

This card was swapped from Sharon Turnbull.



This stamp set and co-ordinating punch are just divine!
