Regional Swaps

Friday I'm heading to regionals with a few of my downline. I'm so excited...it should be a ton of fun!

Here are the two swaps I'm bringing.

Front Row Regionals

Today I'm at my upline, Jeannie's for Front Row Regionals. I'm looking forward to the make and takes and to see what all we'll learn. We also decided to do swaps for our little regional....here's mine.

Bookmarks, Post it Notepads....

Here are a few things I made for a lady that works with my husband. Most of you have seen these before over at ChicNScratch. Angie Juda is always a great inspiration for ideas. Check out her Stampin' Academy for video demonstrations.

I saw a variation of the bookmark at Regional and modified it slightly. I really love how those turned out. Considering I didn't know how they were assembled, I think I did a pretty good job.

Make and Take #3 from Regional

Good Morning!

Guess what? I'm on my way to Canton this morning. For those of you who don't know what Canton is, its a huge flea market in Canton, Texas. Its also known as Trade Days or First Monday. It takes place on the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the first Monday of each month. They have "old crap that I wouldn't pick up off the side of the road" as my mom puts it and all kinds of new stuff there. And I'm talkin' stuff. Home decor, clothing, food, you name it. We (my mom, sister and I) get rollin' from CS at 6:00am to get there by 9:00am and meet up with my neice who lives in Dallas. I'll be sure to post some pics when I get back.

So, here's my 3rd make and take. Again, I made this one at home. This little cutey is by far my favorite. So stinkin' easy to make. My mom even said she wants me to make a few to give to some family members. If my mom likes it...its cute.

Make and Take #2 from Regional

Good Morning!

Here is the second make and take from Regional, only I took it first and then made it at home. I don't have a Big Shot, so I got everything cut out before I left. It was a great opportunity to try out the Big Shot and I definitely want one. I've got it on my Christmas Wish List. Hopefully after the first of the year you will see many more projects with it.

The basket is very cute, not really a favorite of mine yet. I modified the tag slightly from the original idea.

Make and Take #1 from Regional

Hi Everyone!

Here is the only make and take I managed to actually finish at Regional. You are just not given a whole lot of time to work on projects. Fortunately I was able to bring everything home. So I'll be posting each project as I get them finished. So far...just three are completed.

I love the ribbon flower. I was never a big fan of the ribbon flower until I made it. So easy and very cute.

Back from Regional

Hey Everyone!

I'm back from Regional. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot of new techniques. I've attached a few pictures from all that I saw. I didn't complete, but one of the 6 make and takes we were given. Once I get those completed I'll be sure to post them. We really aren't given too much time to work on those, but are given all the directions. There is a nice little surprise below...I'm a little surprised I managed it. It just happen to work out.

The bikini top opens up into a scrapbook page. Very cute! Christie Daugherty from Tyler did this.

This is so cute and its very easy to make. Can't wait to get my Big Shot!

More cute projects.

Swap #2 for San Antonio

Here is my second swap for San Antonio. I ran out of 1/4" Pretty in Pink ribbon, so I had to use 5/8" Regal Rose ribbon on the last three swaps. To tell you the truth, I wanted to use the Regal Rose in the first place, but I knew I wasn't going to have enough. However, I thought I would have enough of the Pretty in Pink...oh well! So here are both examples.

Swap for Regional in San Antonio

Here is one of my swaps I made for the Regional in San Antonio at the end of the month. I'm really looking forward to going. This will be my first official Stampin' Up! event. Jeannie my upline, Terri a fellow demonstrator under Jeannie and Emily will all be going.
