Those pegs!

A couple of weekends ago, I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional Training here in Canberra.  Yep, it's a couple of weeks ago - time has been crazily busy while slipping by so quickly.  One of those reasons might have to do with the President of the USA arriving here in Canberra today.  Yep that's kept me busy.  Very busy.  Long days with very early starts and late finishes!  But if his visit is a success, then it's all worthwhile.  So now you know the reason of my absence .... now I can get to the good part!

At the Regional Training, I was nicknamed the Peg Lady.  Sounds awful doesn't it?  But really, everyone was trying to get one of my peg swaps, and of course, sometimes  you're known more for your swap then who you are!!  So without further ado, here they are:

 

I only made a dozen or so of these, as I quickly ran out of my gorgeous Crumb Cake seam binding.  I had used the seam binding for our Christmas stamp camp, which didn't leave me much left over!  So I had one for my team of girls (Avid Inkers) and as many as I could swap with!

I used my Many Merry Messages stamp set for the Noel sentiment.  This stamp set is PERFECT for Christmas, absolutely PERFECT!  I used embossed cardstock, the Contempo Christmas stamp set and teh Ornament punch.  A bit of DSP (Letters to Santa) and Seam Binding, and it was done.  A quick project to make once you mastered stamping on a curved surface!

This idea was inspired by the lovely work of Stamping Mathilda, one of my favourite blogs to visit!
