Everything Eleanor Stamp Class.....
Hello Everyone, I am waiting for my downline Emma to send me the photo's from Convention as she was in charge of the camera for all the Team to show you more from Convention but in the mean time I am trying to catch up with my Stamp Class Instructions.
We did this class a couple of weeks ago. The stamp set is Everything Eleanor and its a big one! It comes in two cases if you get it in the clear version.
I used Soft suede, Crumb Cake and Calpyso Coral for the colour combination.
I used the NEW Lacy Border punch to decorate the Gift Box and the cards.
The box holds the decorated envelopes and about 6 cards depending on the layers.
November has flown by hasn't it? My eldest will be 17 on Monday and Driving Lesson here they come! Gulp!
Hope you have a nice weekend,
Thanks for looking,
Jenny:-)xx

Stampin UP Convention - Disneyland Paris
Wow! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of events. I have just been to the European Stampin' UP! Convention in Disneyland Paris.
We had the MOST Amazing time. I went with three Wonderful Friends who are also my Downline, Maria, Emma and Jill. We all stayed in one room, which was such FUN.
We have been laughing for four whole days and every muscle in my body is worn out! Being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator really does bring such Happiness in my life, the friendships I have made with my lovely Customers and Downline are the very best. Thank You.
This Jill, Emma and Maria.
This is Emma, ME in the the middle and Maria. They were both awarded with some achievements this year. How Fantastic is that. Emma for promotions and Maria came in the top 25 at the 20th position. Wow! You Bloomin' Buds are fantastic. Well done, I'm so pleased for the both of you.
Emma works so very hard, and she has 4 beautiful little girls. She does a wonderful job crafting with her ladies in IPSWICH. She is Squeezing the lift out of me here! Her flights from Paris have both been cancelled so she is patiently waiting for another one! Not a great end to the trip! Hope you get home soon Emma.xxxx
We went into the Park for the last evening and tried on so many hats! This is Emma in her Mickey one.
The Park was magical in the Dark! Look at the Magic Castle.
And another angle of the pretty castle. We watched the parade and then took cookies back to the hotel.
Well that all for today. I am way behind with all my jobs but there are so many exciting NEW things Stampin' UP! have in store for you all this Year. Look out for more details Next Month!!!!
The next Convention is in Germany 2nd November 2012 - Want to Come?????? Email me for more information.

Christmas Extravaganza........
Gosh you must have wondered where I've been. We went on holiday for half term to Devon and I managed to fall over on the decking around our Lodge and really damaged my knee. In fact I could hardly walk the whole of the holiday. I felt rotten that we were unable to go out due to me hurting my knee but we all had a wonderful rest and watched tons of Movies which we really enjoy doing as a family. We nearly had three whole PJ Days!!!! hee hee The doctor said it will take about 6 weeks to mend but others have told me that when something similar has happened to them they are still feeling the effects Doh! What an old biddie....
This Saturday was my Christmas Extravaganza. My Lovely Lovely Mum helped me again, she is a superstar and I love her so very very much. The hall had been double booked by the lady who does the bookings. She had forgotten that the Church holds a remembrance service and the Vicar told me they had 200 people coming for Tea & Coffee and was I going to be long in the hall!!!! I just stared at him. The hall only has a tiny carpark unfortunately and I couldn't think where 200 plus my 40 guests were going to park.
Anyway it all got sorted my Mum put herself in the Carpark and amongst all the other jobs she does, managed to position my ladies in the carpark before the church goers arrived. Superstar!!! She can help again hee hee.
Right then as usual we did three mini projects. We used the Pine & Poinsettias Stamp set and the Holly Berry Speciality papers on all three of the projects, plus two others, Delightful Decorations and Tags Til Christmas.
We made this Decorated Box Frame and matching Christmas Card, using the Delightful Decorations stamp set.
We decorated a Gift Bag and made two Christmas Cards to co-ordinate.
Plus we decorated a Gift Tub and filled it with 9 Gift Tags using the Pine & Poinsettias stamp set and the Tags Til Christmas stamp set.
These are the table decorations using the Penant Parade stamp set.
This is the Registration Table complete with the Extravaganza Gifts for everyone. This is one of the tables all set up.
These Petal Cone gives were the Prize Patrol Table Gifts using the Creative Elements stamp set.
I ran the Crafters Choice Competition again and decided to give two prizes away, 1st and 2nd. Everyone has one tick and then they are added up and the most and runner up gets a Stampin UP Gift Certificate. This was Carolines who won 1st.
Also Carolines.
This gorgeous creation was by Sue who was runner up.
Oh My! Just look at this which was made by Yvonne! Super.
This fab card was Karen's.
A Wonderful Creation from Amanda - Wow!
Look what Cath made, so Cute a very tall bird house. Also in the background was a wonderful flower arrangement by Elizabeth, my other photo was all blurred, so if you have a photo Elizabeth, please can you email it to me and I will upload a full version - Thanks.
Thank you to everyone who came along on Saturday, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy scheldules to come and share my LOVE of STAMPIN' UP!. This Saturday is the Crafty Bunch turn to have their Extravaganza and I am so looking forward to seeing all you Yeovil ladies again.
