On the weekend, I attended our national Stampin' Up! convention in Auckland.  The event is called OnStage and it's where we celebrate our annual achievements, receive valuable training, and see sneak peeks of fabulous new products that are coming.  We also spend time sharing and networking with other demonstrators.  As a special treat, I made a number of these journals to give to my direct team members who attended OnStage.

The journal itself can be found on page 73 of the Annual Catalogue with the Pressed Petals Suite, and what you may not be able to see is that the cover is beautifully embossed all over.  I added a square of the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front cover and used self-adhesive flower petals from the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape to create the floral element.

I wanted to words on the journal to have real meaning, and I found the perfect sentiments in the To A Wild Rose stamp set.

To complete the gift, I also added a matching pen.  I rolled up and inserted a piece of Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to place inside the clear barrel.

But wait, there's more!  For members of my wider team who also attended OnStage, I created these gifts...

These are dollar-store notepads that I covered and decorated using the Pressed Petals Suite and To A Wild Rose Bundle.  And I also added a coordinating pen to this gift set too!

I love making gifts for my team and also rewarding them for their achievements.  It was so much fun to give these out on the weekend!
