This was my first Training Day, and what a day it was. We arrived at the hall in Peterborough to be greeted by lots of happy smiley people!! Monica and Bekka arranged the day and they were both lovely. After the initial cup of tea we all exchanged swaps. My card front swap is pictured, of which I made 40. I came home with a box full of beautiful swaps; so many talented people. In the morning after a Business talk from Monica we then had 3 'Make n takes' to do. I only had time to complete 2 but will be finishing the other this week. In the afternoon we had a talk from Bekka, about earning more from the new catalogue. We then had 2 projects, one was a beautiful handbag envelope album, which I completed and is absolutely gorgeous!! The other project was a scrapbook page, which I shall also complete this week - the design of this could be used in so many ways!! We used the 'Mocha Morning Speciality' papers - brown is not my favourite colour, but after seeing these, I am now converted! It was a fantastic day, I met so many lovely people and came home really shattered!!
Today was the first Craft Fair I have attended with Stampin' Up! As you can see by the pictures we all turned up, Marisa and Nina to do the Make & Takes and Tina & myself on
the stall.
Here are a few pictures of some of the items I made for the stall:
Sweetie pouches
Pencil & rubber holders
Pencil boxes
Post it Note & Pen Holders
Tea-light Candles & Box
Hope you all like the above, keep looking for more ideas!!

I have never done a blog before, so please bear with me whilst I get to understand it!! I have recently joined Marisa's team, with Nina & Tina. I have been working on a few items for the Creative Craft Fayre at Tower Ramparts on Saturday August 27th, and I will try and post a few photos soon.
