Whoopee!
My swaps are now complete, labeled and packed ready for Convention this week.
There are lots of Aussie and New Zealand Demonstrators who are looking forward to the upcoming Convention in Melbourne, and many of us have been working on swaps to share with each other.
I'm pleased to say mine are now finished, and although I've not made as many as lots of the other girls, I'm happy with them. (and mighty pleased to be finished as I don't really enjoy making multiple numbers of any cards.)
I decided to create a Power Point presentation of how the cards are made as there are lots of steps and techniques involved. My aim is to provide something that I enjoy doing, but also something that has a combination of techniques and products.
Here are the completed cards - I used 4 colours: Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Pretty In Pink, and combined them with Whisper White card.

Of course, everything used is available at Stampin' Up! either in the current Idea Book and Catalogue or the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.
Contact me if you need assistance with your products.
Anyway for those of you who are interested, here are the samples I created.

You can have a look at the methods I used in this Power Point Presentation. Enjoy!
Oh and as a special surprise for the girls in my down-line who will be attending their very first convention I made a little celebration cake. One slice for each of them.
I went to a workshop last weekend and learned how to make these from my friend Lovely Linda
It was so nice to be in the "student" chair rather than the teacher chair, and although I've seen this pattern around on various blogs, this is the first time I've been interested to try "making my own cake".
Anyway I hope the girls like them, because it sure was fun and relaxing to create them.
I'll post more details after Convention.
Until then
Stay Crafty!
