The overwhelming OnStage Awesomeness!

HELLLOOOOOOOOO, I'm still alive! 

Oh My! I have totally left my blog behind this past month - for those who come back and check frequently I do hope you can forgive me!  I will do my bestest to make up for it!  SO much has been happening in the last month that time has literally just flown by! 

Almost two weeks ago now, I was lucky enough to secure a place at the Stampin' Up! local OnStage annual training and recognition event for Independent Demonstrators across the country (/continent/world).  It was the first time I've been to an event like it and I had such a wonderful day! 

It was such an overwhelming day, starting off with a bag full of Stampin' Up! goodies, including this gorgeous mug! 

There was also the opportunity to meet some of the amazing Stampin' Up! staff (I was a bit fan girl-y and shy as I recognised them and unfortunately I didn't pluck up courage to get photos with them  - maybe next time I'll be able to act a bit more "normal" around them and just ask haha!).   

Swaps with fellow demonstrators - it was amazing to see all the different cards and gifts other demonstrators had made and were swapping with each other.  As it has been such a busy time for me I wasn't able to make any swaps to take with me :( so I decided to get into the spirit of the weekend and at least paint my nails accordingly with the 2017-2019 In Colors (or at least as close as we could get!) What do you think?

It was so incredible to be able to spend a day with fellow demonstrators - meeting friends I'd spoken to on our team facebook group but never met, meeting so many new people who all share the same passion for their craft business and the amazing Stampin' Up!.  Here are a few photos of some of our team:

However, the absolute best part of the day - the chance to see, use, and WIN brand new products from the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue which will be released on 3rd January 2018! Here is my upline Monica and roomie Fanny with their prize patrol goodies!! (we had to cover them up as we were restricted with sharing images of them straight away!)

If you would like to be one of the first to receive your very own copy of the new catalogue in the new year, please send me a request through my website at Jenfielou.StampinUp.net and click on Contact Me and I will be able to send you one out as soon as they come in!  

Before I can share all the new products with you all, I still have a number of creations using products from the current Annual Catalogue and the current seasonal Autumn/Winter catalogue that I want to share with you before they are no longer available!!!   Please contact me, via my website at Jenfielou.StampinUp.net if you would like either of these catalogues sending to you now so that I can get them to you before the seasonal sales period ends, there are so many things that would make EXCELLENT Christmas presents for your creative and crafty friends, family, colleagues, etc! 

Finally, for anyone in the Chesterfield, Derbyshire and surrounding area, I have my final Christmas Card Create Class being held in Duckmanton, Chesterfield on Sunday 3rd December 2017.  

• Class cost is £10 per person, and you will make 4 cards (one of each design) from the Watercolor Christmas card kit.  All supplies and light refreshments will be provided. 
• Classes are kept to friendly small groups and held in my home, therefore, places are very limited - Please contact me ASAP (through my website or give me a call/text on 07841518863) by Saturday 25th November 2017 to be sure to secure your place.  
• If you would like to make more than 4 cards, then why not purchase the full Watercolor Christmas card kit for £18 and you will have enough supplies to make 20 cards (5 of each of the 4 designs, stamp set available separately as Clear Mount or Wood Mount!)  This class will be free for you with this purchase.
• If you wish to order the full kit, please ensure order and payment in full is with me by 7pm Saturday 25th November 2017 so that I can try to make sure the order is placed with time for delivery!  

So, my plan is that over the next few weeks I will be sharing more frequent blog updates, showcasing a selection of the products available in the current and future catalogues and my creations made with them!  I'm off to write the first one now so be sure to come back soon!
