Sam gave me one of these super-cute flower pots last year & the thought to make a Christmas version has been swimming around in my head since them... but I only got it out of my head a couple of weeks ago – sad huh? I used some more Raspberry Tart DSP for the tree (surprised?) & the pot & stars are rose red cardstock. I adjusted Sam's pot dimensions to fit the look I wanted for the tree too. The trees on each end are my final swaps, the middle was another prototype, but I decided I liked the version with the large tag more (made with the 'Punches Three' hostess set). This also made it easier to include a (still tiny) project recipe. After making 18 though, my hand gave up the ghost, so I didn't end up having many to swap with the around 230 Demo's there, but I hope the ladies I did swap with liked the idea....& that you do too. I should have thought to take pics of some my team's swaps too, so I could show you, but I haven't, so that will have to come later.. so I'll just leave you with a mini forest of trees.
In case you're wondering what Regionals were all about....It's yet another perk of being a Demo. I had a great day at Darling Harbour spent with my Demonstrator friends & team members, learning new ideas, tips & tricks from Stampin' Up! & some fellow Demonstrators, seeing & taking pics of all the fab ideas on the display boards, playing with new Summer Mini Catalogue goodies & laughing lots...not to mention eating a LOT of chocolate.
OK, it's bedtime for me now, but if you'd like any more info about the trees or anything else, just drop me a line & thanks heaps for visiting.
Inky wishes, Di

Hello Di from freezing Southern Californina - ok freezing might be a slight exageration, however; it is much colder then I like...we are just getting ready for Thanksgiving here in the States. I love these Christmas Trees and think they will be a perfect project for my 3 yr old nieces pre-school class.
I can't decide if these are BEAUTIFUL or CUTE...so I think I will just go with FANTABULOUS!!!!
Thanks for yet another wonderful idea.
Hi Di, love your trees, what a shame I didn't check this post earlier - I just made 50 flowers for chuppa chups! These look so much nicer and easier!

Wow Di, these look amazing. I bet there were a big hit...in fact I can just see you being knocked over by a wave of eager swappers!
Best wishes,
Sam.
PS. When did you move to SoCal?
Oh I sooooooooooo want one of these! lol Di - if I had of been there and swapped with you...........I would have done a cartwheel I think! While it would not have been a nice site for many I'm sure.......I reckon that would have been how I would have displayed my excitement! lol

Hi Di,
I am so sorry I missed you at Regionals. I did have a look around for a while but since we didn't get name tags I wasn't sure if I could recognise you. I love your swap I seen on the board I thought that was a great swap. It must have taken you ages. Loved the swap maybe I will see you at Convention.

What an awesome idea Di! Too clever. I am unfortunately missing regionals this year. My daughter is having her Birthday party. Oh well next year! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm off to buy around 30 Chuppa Chups...lol!
