On Sunday we held our annual mid-year Hamilton Extravaganza to celebrate the release of the 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue. It was a wonderful day full of creating and sharing with like-minded people. There were five amazing projects to work on, prize draws to win and displays to ogle over and photograph for our own inspiration.

Here's us setting up for the day...

On the tables were gifts from the demonstrators to their guests. I used the fabulous All Boxed Up Kit to create gift boxes for my guests and filled them with chocolates - to sustain them throughout the day :)

And here's the door prizes that were donated by each of the demonstrators...

Mine was a Mini Muslin Bag stamped with Watercolor Wings images in Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry, and finished with gold accents, chocolate and mochachino sachets!

So what did we create? Here's the five projects that were taught...

Rayleen and Kirstie showed everyone how to make this simple and elegant swing card using the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and coordinating Pansy Punch...

Patrice and Santjie taught everyone how to create this awesome popup gift card holder using the Garden in Bloom stamp set...

Christine and Sarah shared how to create this wonderful alternative easel card. They used the Guy Greetings stamp set and Go Wild DSP Stack and made it masculine...

For Bev and Alicia's project, everyone created three cards using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and coordinating Tree Builder Punch. Not only did they create these darling note cards, everyone also made custom envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board and Envelope Paper...

And lastly, Andrea and I taught everyone how to use the Gift Bag Punch Board to create this gift bag decorated with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and Expressions Natural Elements...
