Crafty Cupcakes crafting session

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

As promised two weeks ago, this is what we got up to on the Sunday after OnStage at Telford.

I am a honorary member of the Crafty Cupcakes group which is Lea Denton's group, we hired a room in the centre of Telford on the Sunday so we could have a crafty get together. There were eight of us all together.

We started off by making this beautiful Advent Calendar Christmas Tree. Lea, cut out all the pieces for us all, this must have taken her days. 

I ran out of time to finish mine so brought all the boxes home and completed it the following week. I have filled all the boxes with surprises and my lucky husband, Gary, will be the receipient on 1st December.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Stampin' Up! OnStage convention Telford November 2016

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

When this blog post foes live I will be at Telford, meeting up with 399 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. 

As is the norm at all Stampin' Up! gatherings, we take swaps with us, as many as we like, and then we swap our swaps with other people. I think it's brilliant and can't wait to see what I receive. 

I've made 70 of my swaps, they are an After Eight Mint in a small envelope tied with linen thread or bakers twine and stamped with the perfect sentiment - You are totally awesome.  I have used a mixture of Moroccan DSP, Presents and Pinecones DSP and This Christmas DSP to make the envelopes.

I'm getting excited now just typing about it. It will be so fantastic to meet so many people I have got to know so well over the past year through Facebook and YouTube. How strange it will be to see them face to face. 

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
