ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there.  I have just come back from Stampin' Up's! South Pacific Convention on the Gold Coast and thought I would share with you the Swaps that I made.  Helen and Nikki S will need to 'look away' as I haven't mailed theirs yet :)  1. CASE-ing the Catty Team Swaps I'm not a fan of mass production and like to mix things up a bit, so all the CTC Crew Swaps are done with different colour combos, all taken from the Colour Coach .  I've lost my bit of paper that lists the combos I used and will attempt to try and recall them from memory until my little notepad turns up.    Perfect Plum, Rose Red and Marina Mist Pool Party, Island Indigo and Calypso Coral  Pink Pirouette, Cherry Cobbler and Wisteria Wonder  Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist and Pool Party  Blackberry Bliss, Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon  Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede  Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonde...

The Tassie Girls from Just Add Ink (Mae, Tania, Me and Kathy) The Presenters (L-R) Sharon Walsh, Meegan Dale, Me, Julie Leeper, Carolyn Rakowski Some of the SWAPS The Colour Collections The Fabric Workshop Presentation by Sharon Walsh Workshop WOWS Ideas for the Two Tags Die by 'moi' Paper Flowers by Carolyn Rakowski Embossing on Embossing by Julie Leeper I think this bag belonged to Julie. Isn't it awesome? It's made from the Flirtatious Fabric and the Scallop Square Bigz Die. I won't show you any of the make 'n' takes or staff presentations just yet as it will spoil the surprise for those going to upcoming Regional Events. Needless to say, they were AWESOME and this was by far the best Regionals I have been too. Until next time ...

Here's a closer look at the projects that I presented at our recent Stampin' Up! Regionals in Hobart. Box Bag - Chocolate Holder Easel Card Bag Topper Tag Card Gift Card Holder Update:  I wrote an accompanying tutorial which ACROBAT.COM hosted.  Unfortunately they do not offer a free service any more so my Two Tags Die Tutorial has been added onto my Tutorials for Sale .

7 Ideas for the Wider Tag from the Two Tags Die (from Bag in a clockwise direction - Chocolate Holder 'Bag', Card, Bag Topper, Easel Card, Box, Gift Card Holder and Tag) Today I'm enjoying Hobart Regionals and celebrating my birthday with a whole heap of Stampin' Up! enthusiasts. I was pleased to be asked to present another Workshop Wow and chose to demonstrate how to make an Easel Card from the Two Tags Die (of course!!!). I will also quickly share some other uses for the larger tag on the die. A PDF file with instructions will be available very soon. I'm officially on holidays now and am looking forward to playing with some SU goodies from the brand spankin' new catalogue (link on my side bar). Hope your weekend is all that you planned it to be :) I'll be back ...

The absolute highlight for me was hanging out with our wonderful team mates from Just Add Ink . I just hope I can catch up with the other four members at some stage as it was such a blast getting to know these fabulous ladies. Back L - R: Tania Gould, Me, Jodene Tripp, Paula Dobson, Jo Eades Front L - R: Kim Badelt, Nikki Spencer, Mae Collins, Delys Cram Our Kind-Hearted Volunteer Photographers (dubbed the Paparazzi) The guy on the far right was the official photographer and you can see a photo of us on Shelli's Blog . Seriously, how cool is that??? I just love this photo of Delys and Paula, the two NZ gals on the JAI Team. It was taken just before the first main session. Here's Sharnee Torrents (a fellow Tassie friend/demo/'side line') doing a Workshop WOW on stage. We were in awe of her torn paper frame demonstration. Super job!!! Jodene and Paula waiting for the Make 'n' Take Session to begin I had a lovely photo of Cathy Clark and Peggy Quarmby from WA ...
