So after some though  I remembered I had a couple of photos of my first Stampin’ Up! Convention (On Stage), and as this is my Fifth year with Stampin’ Up! I decided it would be a great scrap page.
The event was held in Melbourne Convention Centre. I found it a bit daunting at first but thanks to two great ladies Cheryll Miller and Jackie McGee I had a wonderful time.

My First Stampin’ Up! Convention

I attached one of the floral designs from the Petal Promenade Designer Series paper trimmed to measure 113/4″x113/4″  to a piece of 12″x12″ Whisper White cardstock, Then I trimmed one of the Marble designs to measure 91/2″x 91/2″ which I attached to a piece 12″x12″ which I trimmed to a thin boarder. Then attached to the floral piece.

For the flowers and leaves I used the Beautiful Promenade Stamp set then die cut with the Beautiful Layered Thinlits Dies. for the Journaling I used Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.
