I am currently at the South Pacific Stampin' Up! Convention in Melbourne, Australia, and having such a blast! I am rooming with four wonderful ladies and we made gifts for each other. Here's the gifts I created...

Stamps: UNDEFINED Stamp Carving Kit (133402), ABC-123 Sketched Alphabet & Numbers (clear: 130565). Ink: Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Marker (2013-2015 In Colors: 131260), Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker (Subtles: 131263), Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker (Regals: 131262), Coastal Cabana Ink Refill (131164). Card/Paper: Canvas Creations (129375), Calypso Coral (124392). Accessories: Simply Pressed Clay (130685), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246), Silver 1/8" Ribbon (132137). Tools: Itty Bitty Punch Pack (118309), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755).

I carved my own stamp using the UNDEFINED Stamp Carving Kit, fashioned on the "Inspire. Create. Share" from the front of the new US catalogue. I am hoping our new Annual Catalogue in July will have the same cover so I can re-use this stamp again!

I stamped my carved image onto a piece of Canvas Creations (love that texture) and the inserted it into a clear bag tag. I personalised each tag with a clay impression of the first letter of my roomie's names. This one is obviously mine! Each convention attendee receives a bag from Stampin' Up! and these tags are to attach to the convention bag to personalise them, but also so we can pick ours from everyone else.

Convention also has a time to swap your creations with other demonstrators, so I created some swaps to share using my new stamp...
