Stampin' Up! On Stage 2018 - Telford
I returned home tired, excited and absolutely bursting with ideas!
Hundreds of Demonstrators - over 500 this time, from all over the country (and some from further afield too), gathered together for training, crafting, swapping and lots of fun; meeting old friends and making new ones!
I travelled to Telford on Friday so that I could attend On Stage. The Craftyducky came too of course!
This was the view from the hotel room.
We met up with Karen who is a Demonstrator I met at On Stage in November 2017 and had a lovely meal in Zizzi's.
We sampled one of these ... an Espresso Martini yum, yum!
The On Stage event took place on Saturday and Registration started at 8:30am.
We received a lovely bag when we checked in full of goodies ...
The pink badge with the number 1 on was very important - its for Prize Patrol. I received a lovely stamp set but unfortunately I can't show it to you just yet!
This is what a room full of very excitied Demos looked like!
The year so far for me has been difficult and unfortunately this was my first visit to On Stage when I had no swaps with me.
However, my lovely team mates had a pile of swaps waiting on the table for me - thank you so much Stylettes!
Here are the 3d swaps I received.
I managed to meet up with a couple of other Demonstrator friends too and they very kindly gave me one of their swaps.
I also received 3 card front swaps - the one on the left is from a fellow demo who lives in St Ives. Not the St Ives about 5 miles from where I live but the one in Cornwall!
Did you spot the lovely blue flower in a plastic slip above? This was a surprise from fellow Demo Karen - she made a whole basket of them; so pretty!
I also received a gift from my Upline Mikaela.
Lots of presentations and announcements and, we got a copy of the new Annual Catalogue but alas, I can't show you just yet. You will have to trust me, it is stunning and full of all sorts of lovely products.
This year is the 30th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! - we had cupcakes to celebrate after lunch.
The Stampin' Up! staff were also presented with a cake to celebrate. Those of you who have spoken to Stampin' Up! on the telephone, possibly the chap on the bottom right, this is Chris who is always most helpful!
We also had a chance to try out some new products too; we made four cards which I will share with you as soon as I get chance to photograph them!
Thanks again to everyone who kindly shared their swaps with me I, I really apprecaiated it. I had a fantastic time and can't wait to share lots of new products and ideas with you.
The next On Stage event is in November - if you would like to join in the fun why not think about joining my team? I'm always happy to chat about how you can make Stampin' Up! work for you, just get in touch ...
Happy Crafting!
