Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific day! Personally, I am really looking forward to this day to be over so that I can start fresh again in the morning! Anyone else ever feel like that?

Anyhooo... posting these projects will put a smile on my face! I'm SO glad I participated in this WOW swap. We truly have a bunch of very, very talented stampers in the London area! Here's just a sampling of the swaps - more to come throughout this week!

What A Day! HELLO Friends!

Today was a fun-filled day of stamping, friends and creativity! At 730am this morning, one of my friends ( & SU! team members ) left for a Spring Fling event held at Fairmont Public School! This was an all day event with guest speakers, lots of technique demonstrations, Make n' Takes and much, much more! It was well worth the cost of admission!

A few posts ago, you might remember the picture of my WOW swap 'preps' - a pile of pre-cut supplies ready to be assembled for this event. Now that the event is over, and my swaps were handed in, I can show you the finished project. Each day this week, I will also be showing some pictures of the projects I received back as part of this swap! They are all very neat & creative projects for sure!

The first picture is my prototype - I ended up only making minor changes to my original creation, which is actually quite different for me as I normally start with one thing and after several mind-changing decisions, end up with something totally different! I think


Here are the final projects - I made 16 in total! I then received 15 - 3D WOW projects back in return!! I decided on the magnetic clasps (dollar store purchase - 4 for $1) as they work a bit better on the fridge. The little insert card is completely removable so it could be used to create a list or a bookmark, leaving the base intact for further use later on. For the ladies that recently attended my Pastels Class - you'll recognize the technique using VersaMark & chalk!


Be back tomorrow with more samples from today's event! Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Announcing a NEW Ribbon Share - Taffeta & Poly Twill !!

NEW Ribbon Share

Who would like a sampling of the NEW Taffeta & Poly Twill Ribbon? I know I would! If you'd like to participate in this share, the one-time cost is $20. Each share participant will receive a total of 22 yards of ribbon (outlined below), sorted and cut for you! Here's exactly what you'll get with each share.

6 yards of each of the following Poly Twill Ribbon:
Chocolate Chip (3 yrds)
Old Olive (3 yrds)
16 yards of each of the following Taffeta Ribbon:
Whisper White (2 yrds)
Very Vanilla (2 yrds)
Kraft (2 yrds)
Chocolate Chip (2 yrds)
Basic Grey (2 yrds)
Mellow Moss (2 yrds)
Bashful Blue (2 yrds)
Pretty In Pink (2 yrds)

If you were to buy full rolls of these kinds of ribbon on your own, it would cost you $103 in total so this is a much more affordable way to try out all of the available colours at an affordable price!

There are just a few spots open in this share, so contact me at lisaburns@rogers.com if you are interested in participating.

Preparing for Swaps

Some of you have asked about various demo swaps and exchanges so I thought I would post a prep picture of my WOW swaps for this weekend. Myself and lots of other Stampin' Up! demo's will be attending a Spring Fling event hosted by our very own upline Alicia Ryckman! Alicia has arranged to bring in Top U.S. demos as guest speakers so I'm sure it is going to be a fun-filled day!

One of the exciting things about events like these are swaps. Swaps are cards, card fronts, 3D items ...pretty much any project that has been defined as acceptable by the swap organizer. In my case, this is the very first WOW swap I've participated in so I'm not really sure what to expect but I'm excited nonetheless! What I do know for sure is that you can make any 3D project that provides that WOW FACTOR... anything but a card!

Here's my teaser...

I'll share the actual finished project early next week along with all the WOW swaps I get back! I'm hoping for some really FUN and FRESH class ideas from this swap!

Thanks for stopping by tonite!
