More Swap Shares

I hope you aren't getting tired of my swap shares!  This will be the last one for a little while.  I participate in many demo swaps over at Splitcoaststampers and one of my favorite swap hostesses is Deb_t.  She is always pleasant and punctual and has high standards for her swappers!  Each year she typically hosts a CASE the Catalog swap where you pick a card from the catalog and recreate it for the swap.  There are usually three categories - 3x3, full-sized A2 and 3D.  I chose to do one of each.  As I don't have all of my supplies with me, I had to tweak things a little, but I like how each of my cards turned out.  I didn't get a chance to photograph the 3D items before they went in the mail, but I made the little treat boxes found on Page 59 of the Idea Book and Catalog.

Here are my 3x3 and A2 cards:

A2 - Page 66 IB&C

Sorry about the glare.  I already had them in clear envelopes before I remembered to photograph them. 

Have a great day, and as always, happy stamping!

UStamp Group Swap

Yesterday I shared my Friend to Friend Swap for UStamp with you.  Today, I'm going to share my Group Swap.  This is a very clean and simple card.  It is extremely easy to reproduce!  In fact, it took me less than half an hour to make all six of my cards! 

I was running short on time and really needed a quick and simple card, so I headed over to Splitcoaststampers and took a look around.  When I saw this card, I knew it was the one!  So with a few minor changes, here's what I came up with.

Super easy and super cute!  Hope you enjoy! 

Have a great day, and as always, happy stamping!

Friend to Friend/Mojo 210

If you have spent any time visiting my blog in the past, then you probably know how much I LOVE to swap!  One of the many fun things to do at UStamp with Dawn and Friends is participate in swaps.  There are usually two per UStamp session.  There is a Group Swap and a Friend to Friend Swap.  For the Group Swap, you create six of the same card to be swapped out with six other stampers.  For the Friend to Friend Swap, you create a card and a small 3D item to swap with the stamper our Swap Skipper pairs you up with.  I'm hoping my swap partner has received her swap already, because I'm going to share it with you here! 

The card was inspired by the Mojo 210 sketch over at Mojo Monday.  If I'm ever in a pinch I go to my store of Mojo Monday sketches for inspiration.

 

I'm pretty happy with how the card turned out.  Especially with my limited supplies on hand.  I am finding it very difficult to do so many things! 

 

I also made a cute little covered notepad to go along with the card. 

 

 

I really hope my new friend likes her gifts! 

Have a great day everyone and as always, happy stamping!

I Just Love Stampin' Up!!!

I can't say enough about how much I love Stampin' Up!  Their products are fantastic, they stay on trend and best of all, they LOVE their demonstrators and treat us great. 

Before convention this year, Stampin' Up! had a promotion that every demonstrator who recruited during a certain month, whether just one new recruit or many, received something special at our annual convention.  I was not able to go.  In fact, I've never been able to go since we were overseas from the time I became a demonstrator until this past August.  HOWEVER, Stampin' Up! felt the need to recognize ALL of us demonstrators who recruited and not just those fortunate enough to attend convention. 

A few weeks ago, I got a Stampin' Up! package delivered from the UPS guy (YES!  Now that I'm back in the states, I get visits from Mr. Brown!).  I was very curious as I had not placed an order.  I was, however, waiting for something that was ordered for my by another demonstrator, so I really didn't think anything of it.  Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found a Workshop in a Bag from Stampin' Up!  This was what everyone who recruited received at convention. 

I was so excited!  There are three packages of make and takes, a package of Basic Jewel Rhinestones, a package of Baker's Twine, a very cool ribbon key chain and I think some Stampin' Dimensionals (those got away from me before I took the photo).  I opened the make and takes right away and was all ready to start on them (I actually have the stamp set used) until I realized that I needed some of the punches that are sitting in a warehouse somewhere here in San Antonio until we move into our house in January!  Boo! 

Anyway, if you need another reason to join the Stampin' Up! family, here's one for you!  Don't forget, if you sign up during October, you will receive A FREE BIG SHOT or $100 FREE PRODUCT!!!  Want to know more?  Just contact me and I'll be happy to share!

Happy stamping!
