Stampin' Up! Melbourne Convention 2011

Wow! I've had 3 fantastic days attending convention!!!

Upon arrival we checked in and recieved all of these fantastic goodies, including two gorgeous stamps sets, since they are out of the new catty they must be disguised for now!

I had the chance to meet & chat with so many wonderful friendly & talented stampers. We also had the opportunity to meet Shelli and many SU staff who all contributed so much to make Conventions so amazing!

The presentations, classes & Workshop Wows were fantastic leaving me inspired, enthusiastic and re-energised.

The sample boards showcasing many swaps were just as inspiring - so much talent. We were also spoilt by so many sneek peeks of stamps etc that will be in our new catty, there is one condition though - we gotta keep it under wraps until they are revealed to all by SU.

Towards the end of the final session Shelli announced we'd all receive a new Simply Sent Card Kit. Needless to say we were all rapt.

Not long after she recalled a stamp set that she'd shown during one of her stamping presentations & then surprised us all by announcing that we'd all get to take one home!! So generous! My daughter loves this one in particular & has made some really cute cards already.

Do you wanna see the set? - of course you do but they're Top Secret too!

The Awards Recognition Banquet was absolutely scrumptious, and it was fantastic to cheer on fellow demos who've been recognised for their achievements.

I attended convention with my fantastic friend Nikki whom I don't get to catch up with often enough these days, so that was the icing on the cake.

Well I guess this has really just been a teaser for those who haven't attended. Sorry!

Thanks for stopping by,
