Regional Event - Telford

I spent the weekend at Telford to attend the Stampin' Up! Regional Event.

Here are the swaps I took with me. Both have banners cut with the banners framelits in Crumb Cake which was embossed with the Argyle folder, in Whisper White stamped with the sentiment from Trust God and in the Fresh Prints stack. The Backyard Basics bird was stamped in Crumb Cake and cut with the matching framelit. The leaves were cut from Pear Pizzazz using the Secret Garden framelit. The flowers are from the Petite Petals stamp set and punched with the Petite Petals punch.
The Coastal Cabana cards has a Coastal Cabana sentiment and Real Red flowers. the Real Red card has a Real Red sentiment and Coastal Cabana flowers. The flowers are embellished with pearls.

These were swapped with some very clever crafters for lots of exciting and inspirational items.

We saw some 'sneak peeks' of stamp sets that will be in the new catalogue and we also had a play with the new photopolymer stamps. We were also given a pack of the new 'In Colours'.
