Fun at the November OnStage Local plus the STAMPARATUS

This past weekend I was able to spend time with my team and other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the UK. I was also able to catch up (very briefly) with a demonstrator that I met way back in April 2016 in Australia when I attended an event there.

There is an awful lot I can't share with you just yet but I can say that the 2018 Spring/Summer catalogue is fabulous, and yes I do already have a copy of it. That's one of the perks of attending the event. Here are a few photos that I can share with you.

Friday night was Centre Stage for Silver Elites and above. Thanks to my team and customers I have been able to attend these events for the past few years. At Centre Stage we have a business presentation/discussion which was lead by Andrea Withers from the home office and then dinner. It's a great chance to meet and chat with other demonstrators in a much smaller group.

Stampin' Stars at Centre Stage,
 and yes we can be a little crazy at times

Of course, I made gifts for my team who attended the event with me.

I'll share more details of the team gifts and the goodies I received later in the week.

 This was the table centre decoration from Saturday, and Helen thought it would make a great hat!

This year we are celebrating Stampin' Up! being available in Europe for 10 years so there was a mini celebration with everyone receiving a yummy cupcake for dessert after lunch.

And, no it didn't fit!

Cupcake heaven

As I've already mentioned, I managed to catch up with Sharon. I met her back in April 2016 when I attended OnStage in Australia. She was over with her hubby for his big birthday and a family party.

There's lots more that I would like to share but I'm not able to. However, there was one really big announcement that I can now share with you.

On Saturday, Sara Douglass (Stampin' Up! CEO) announced the introduction of a brand new product.  So, what is it I hear you ask. Well...

It's called the Stamparatus. Here are a few details and a video where you can see it in action for yourself.

I'm most definitely reserving my Stamparatus as soon as I can. Why?

• It's compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber and Photopolymer stamps
• Foam mat to use with Photopolymer stamps
• Rulers and grid lines for quick measuring. Please note that the UK version will be metric only
• 2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper
• 2 reversible plates: a total of 4 surfaces to work with. This means endless possibilities with 2, 3 or even 4 step stamping.
• The 2 plates can simply be unhinged and moved - great for when you want to stamp a line of the same image.
• 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
• Magnet storage areas
• Retail Price – £44.00 - Reserve your copy on 16 November 2017 (from 9.00 pm) by visiting my On-line Shop.

Let me know if you have any questions.
