My Gorgeous Swaps from the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip……

July 5, 2012 By Michelle Last

Look at these little beauties!!

I can't wait to show these to my team of demo's at the upcoming quarterly training event next weekend.  I may need to frisk them on the way out to make sure that none of them have accidentally fallen into their bags!!

Swaps1

Aren't they lovely, these were made by –

Bekka made the diamond gatefold card

Ute made the Vienna kit with the wheel on the front

Kerry made the bird die notepad

Jo made the Bordering on Romance card

Swaps2

These swaps were made by –

Navy Blue Photograph wallet was made by Valerie

Natalie made the pretty dimensional notepad (with a little help from the lovely Zoe P…:-))

And Hayley made this autograph book so that all the guests could sign a page as a memory of the trip.  I really loved this idea and it must have taken ages to cut all the pieces of card using the framelits!!!!

Swaps3

These were made by –

Julie made the lavender pouch

Monica made the coaster

and Ilonka made the box with three little drawers containing chocolate (and it's still in there too!)

Swaps4
Nicole made the calendar/notepad

Amanda made the wallet with notecards inside

And Irene made the lovely pencil shape box with more yummy chocolate….

Swaps5

The beautifully presented cookie was made by Paula Gorry the UK Country Manager (and I have not eaten that either, bit too late me thinks….)

The mixed bunch pot containing the most beautiful bracelet with 'Inspire, create, share' on it was made by Jenni

The washer necklace was made by Steffi

And the little Just for you box contained a handmade button ring made by Victoria.

Swaps6

On the left are two 6×6" scrapbook layouts made by Shelli

On the right is an album made by Moira with slide out panels

And Zoe made the stamped salt dough with vienna stamped into it.

Swaps7

The wonderful Praha photograph album (which is Prague in French) was made by Vanou and in each album she had thoughtfully added photo's of the recipient from the Prague trip.

The teacup was made by Axel Kramer's wife and had a little chocolate inside (not eaten that one either…)

The scallop edged wallet was made by Sylvia and it has her trademark on it.  For each trip she has made a V for Vienna with the date, a P for Prague etc.. and I absolutely love her style.

And the rectangular box filled with yet more chocolate was made by Danielle.

Swaps8

And lastly a camera that is a mini album, so cute and beautifully made by Doris

and the Balloon with the box which contained lipsalve was made by Jeanette.

Aren't I lucky?  Such wonderful swaps.  This was my swap…..

It is a post it note holder on a book ring with a sharpie so that you can make sure it goes whereever you go for those quick reminder notes or for using post it note when using the framelits or edgelits in the big shot.

And here are all of the ones I made.

Making swaps is a real labour of love and it's hard to find the time to make something that is lovely, compact enough to travel by plane but it is SO worth the effort once you get back all the other swaps.

Thank you ladies for my wonderful swaps, I will treasure them!

Be back soon x
