So what else have I been up to?

Looking back through the pictures on my camera - heaps!
In May this year I went the the Stampin' Up! Convention in Canberra and had a ball. Big thanks to Leigh (my roommate), Jean and Karen for putting up with me. Also like to say Hi to my upline Venessa who surprised me by being there as I didn't think she could make it, all the other lovely Brissie demos I caught up with and all the new friends I made. From left to right in the picture are Leigh, Jean, me (the midget) and Karen.

I made nearly 100 swaps to take to convention with me and they were all swapped out on the Friday. I received some fabulous swaps back, the standards were so high and the ideas amazing. These were some of the cards I made.










I also managed to catch up with my lovely friend Elaine Hannam from Tasmania. Elaine and I met a few years ago on a Yahoo online group when we involved in much more arty work than we do now..........lol. We then met in person at Melbourne Paper Arts and catch up every year when Elaine comes up to the Gold Coast for a holiday. Elaine is here this weekend so there will lots of catching up going on.
