Better Your Best

I can not tell you how much fun I had at Regionals on the weekend! It was such a great and positive experience! This is the group of girls I went with along with Shelli Gardner, the owner and CEO of Stampin' Up!



Check out our super cute t-shirts!! Melanie had a great idea to go with matching t-shirts. She stamped with the Bodacious Bouquet stamp set on iron-on material that she then applied to our t-shirts for us!! We got lots of great compliments on them all day long!

Our day began early - we were in line at 7:30am at the Convention Centre - and swapping took place instantly! Oh, it was so much fun just saching from one to another trading cards. You must know that swapping is quite a fast paced activity. There isn't alot of chit chat and oohing and ahhing that goes on between you and the other - you just trade cards and move onto the next!! So, I went with 100 cards, 4 different designs. I came home with 100 different cards! Lots of ideas to draw from! This card here was another one of my swap cards. I used the Bold Butterfly and Simple Saying stamp sets along with the Four Seasons designer paper.

The doors opened at 8:30am and all of a sudden 100's of women broke out into a mad rush to find the perfect table to settle down for the day. Melanie and Bev (seasoned attendees) were able to nab the front 2 tables nearest the stage which was excellent. However, this conference was so well set up. They had jumbo screens on either side of the stage so where ever you sat you could see what they were demo-ing on stage.

The day flew by. We were wowed by so many great new techniques. We learnt quite a few new scrapbook ideas too! Oh I wish I wasn't moving right now - poor timing because I just want to play play play!! (Don't get me wrong - I am looking forward to my new house!) Anyways, once I get set up in my new Stamping Room I will have you all over to 'wow' you with all that I learnt!

This is the last of 4 cards that I swapped. The first 2 I showed in a previous blog. I will also scan some of my swap cards I received later on in the month so check back ok!


May is National Scrapbooking Month so its a great time to get 'scrappin'!



Thanks for stopping by for a read,
