SU Regional Swaps

Saturday (yesterday) was the Stampin' Up! Regionals for SU demonstrators located here in Canberra.  My WH graciously gave me another 'day off' from 'home duties' - so Jessica and I headed to the National Convention Centre here in Canberra.  It was a bit strange at first, there was a big disaster medical convention on (boring) so luckily I worked out that we had to go upstairs and that's where the fun begins!!

It's always a great opportunity to catch up with stamping friends, both old and new.  See some wonderful demonstrations of both new and old products as well as time for stamping.  Yep, stamping at the Convention Centre.  Much more interesting then medical disasters (LOL!!).

Another fantastic experience is 'swapping' with other SU girls.  It's such a great way to see how others use products and stamps, and always unique, individual and different to your own!!  I decided to do something different this year.  I did some baking and then some decorating.  I have very black stained hands to show!!

OK, that's one vanilla butter biscuit, iced and stamped with one of the Artistic Etchings stamps (my favourite set).  I then did some more:

And of course, you can't give biscuits away just like that.  So I made some tags and put individual bikkies in cello bags.  I had a whole bunch of them:

My biscuit recipe is my own, but here is the 'other stuff ' I used:

Stamps: Artistic Etchings
Papers: Baja Breeze CS
Inks: Poppy Parade, Early Espresso & Buckaroo Blue
Other: Cello bags and crochet thread

So I hope you enjoyed my 'take' on swaps!
