OnStage Live Amsterdam is over!

Uncategorized

9 Apr

Hello, Crafters.

Today’s video shows my swap for OnStage!

Its a bookmark that follows the techniques I used on my daughter’s wedding invitations.

OnStage
Live in Amsterdam came to a close at 4 pm yesterday afternoon. 

One of
the many things I love about OnStage is meeting up with some of my
old, as in long time, Stampin’ Up! friends. 

On this visit I met up with two friends I made
when I went the last SU Leadership every held, which was in Orlando in January
2015. 

One was a lady called Phyllis Ponton Shepherd, who’s one
of the top demonstrators in the US. 

When we first met two years ago, we
discovered Phyllis’s very special friend lives in the UK in the town
next door to mine! 

Another friend I made in Orlando, that I’ve met up
with on this trip is a Dutch lady named Yolanda Pasterkamp! 

Making new
friends is one of the benefits I love about being a demonstrator.

I
received four of the new stamp sets while at OnStage and have been able
to pre-order from the new catalogue.

Hopefully my order will arrive the
same day I get home, if not, the day after!

Hubby
met me from the Convention Centre at 4pm as arranged and as I stepped
outside, I was thrilled to see the weather was fantastic!

I had to take
my coat off and we decided to go to a bar we had visited the day
we arrived, to sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy a cup of coffee, well
two cups actually!

The first one went down without touching the sides,
and then we took our time and really savoured the second cup! 

After a
while we settled the bill and went walkabouts along the canals.

We
eventually finished up in a Chinese restaurant and had dinner.

The
photographs were taken on our walk along the canals.


Today
we off on a coach trip to the tulip fields and to a windmill. 
 
The
weather today is forecast to be absolutely brilliant! Fingers crossed!

As frequently happens, I must dash.

I wish you a happy Sunday and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.

      Hi, Geraldine. I'm so pleased you've enjoyed my posts. The weather today has been fantastic and we've been to the Keukenhof today, which is a super place full of tulips, daffodils and many more flowers that all grow from bulbs! Too beautiful for words! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    The most elegant bookmark I've ever seen! Beautifully done, Jan and by seeing you make it and point out all the helpful little details as you went along, you have made it that much easier for us looking on and wanting to make our own. Many thanks for a brilliant job … both the tutorial and the finished product!!

      Hi, Geraldine. I'm so pleased you like this tutorial. I was so pleased I was able to find a good way of using the offcuts from Vicki's wedding invitations! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

      Hi, Chataigne. We have just arrived home from a fabulous trip to Amsterdam. The Stampin' Up! Convention was brilliant and then we had a couple of days sight-seeing! Hope your weather is still good – it's lovely here in the UK. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    Absolutely beautiful photos of my native homeland! We emigrated to Canada when I was 8 and I have visited the Netherlands 4 times and feel so much at home there.
    Your video was, as usual, awesome and I will be making some of those bookmarks…..seeing as that I belong to two book clubs! Thanks Jan!

      Hi, Pearl. For better or worse, the longer i'm a demo, the more friends I make and therefore, I chat more and lose swapping time! At least the unswapped swaps will be ready for November! LOL! But I still have some great swaps to share! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    Love these bookmarks! Thanks for sharing! May I ask where you found the clear bags that seem to hold them so perfectly? I'm thinking I may make some of these to give to the ladies in my church for Mother's Day (which is the 2nd Sunday in May in Canada). Thanks again!

      Hi, Janice. I went online and google "cellophane bags" and then the size I wanted. I don't know if they post international. Let me know if you have trouble finding them and I'll sort out the company I purchased from. I'm still in Amsterdam until tomorrow! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
