On Sunday we held the Hamilton Stamptacular, where there were ten demonstrators and fifty guests. The day had an airport theme: there was a Check-In Desk, passports, a departures area (where the retiring stamp sets and products were on display) and an arrivals area (where some of the the new stamp sets and products were displayed). Each guest got to make four projects, which introduced them to new techniques and ideas. It was a great day and surprisingly relaxing!
Each of my guests received a monogrammed information pack when they arrived. For these I stamped a clear L-file with flowers and ivy from Vintage Vogue using white Stazon and stamped and cut out smaller flowers, added some glitter, and popped them up using dimensionals...

Also everyone had a chance to win one of nine door prizes, a scrapbooking kit and the brand new soon-to-be released 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue - ooh ahh! Of the eight guests that booked into the Stamptacular under me, three won door prizes and one of my guests won the coverted new catalogue! Way to go!
Each of the demonstrators contributed an item for the door prizes. Now I can't show you here the one that I made because it uses products from the new catalogue. But here is a sneak peek...
How many new products can you see there??? After 1 September, when the new catalogue has been released, I will put up all the details of the door prize.
Here are some more pictures for you to feast your eyes on. These are the wonderful projects that everyone got to make at the Stamptacular...
This fantastic mini album, complete with pull-out journalling areas, was designed by Natasha Lipsey. For this project we got to play with the Stamp-a-ma-jig and create a gorgeous punch art plane for the front.
The design of this lovely New Baby card is called a Side-Step card and uses the very easy, but very effective Kissing Technique. This lovely card was designed by Rayleen Baker.
Everyone got to play with heat embossing and the Big Shot to make this great Pad and Pen Holder, which was designed by Patrice Halliday Larsen.
This card was inspired by Alisa Tilsner and included colouring ribbon and the Embossed Reinker Spread Technique. It is stamped using the retiring Embrace Life stamp set, which is currently 25% off!
