Swaps

Okay....... On with the swaps!!

Here are some of the swaps I received this month.

This first one I believe was by Anne Sanderson.

(I'm going by memory, as she didn't sign her card)

She used the Sale-A-Bration set So Many Scallops.

And both the small and large star punch.

Love it!

Rhonda Jackson made this beautiful envelope card!

She used Flowers for you designer paper, So Many Scallops, a rhinestone brad, and Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon.

Unfortunately this card didn't come with a name of the designer on it!

I love the Wild Wasabi theme here!

The double-Stitched ribbon is so nice!

Again the So Many Scallops set was used along with the background set Print Pattern.
Great card!

Pam Lee made this beautiful card!

She used so many nice accents on this card!

The stamp set is...... you guessed it So Many Scallops!! But look how she layered it using the circle punches!

Berry Bliss designer paper, Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon, The photo corners punch,

And the pewter brads!

Love it!!!

It's so nice to receive so many beautiful swaps to show everyone, and hopefully inspire you to make something as beautiful for someone else!

My Swap and Make'n'Takes

Here is the card I made to swap at our last demonstrator meeting. Like I said before.... I'm hooked on acetate cards!! I just love them! I used the Sale-A-Bration set Friendship Blooms with stazon ink. Rose red, confetti white, and soft sky card stock.

This is one of the make'n'takes that we got to make that evening. Designed by Pam Lee. We used So Many Scallops from Sale-A-Bration, to create this card.
Here is the second make'n'take that we made. Designed by Alison Solven. We used the Lots of Thoughts set from Sale-A-Bration. We used the Stems & Silhouettes wheel and the Twill Background stamp, both from the Spring- Summer Collection.

I Love how they both turned out!!! Thanks Ladies!!!

Happy Birthday To My Niece

My Niece turned 7 on the 17th, and as you can tell I am a little behind!

Although she is having her party this week!

My Sister made the invitations to her party, and I had to share! They turned out awesome!!!

Great job Sis!!

I am just getting caught back up with everything, and have lots more to share. So... check back again in the next few days to see the new swaps I got!

I was recently at Timberline Ranch, with make-n-takes for the ladies attending the scrapbook retreat. I met some wonderful ladies there! and talented ones too!!

Thank you for having me, and I look forward to seeing you again!

Acetate Cards

I am hooked on acetate cards!

We made one similar to this one, in my stampin' clubs.

This card measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".

I used the level 3 hostess set Time Well Spent.
White Stazon ink was used on the acetate, rose red, so saffron, sage shadow, confetti white card stock, and apricot appeal grosgrain ribbon.

Happy Stampin'

Birthday Boy!

Another Birthday in January, this time for my son's friend.

I love this stamp set "Wild About You"!

It's very versatile, (boys, girls, and babies).

Certainly Celery Designer Prints Series Papers were used, as well as Blue Bayou, and Confetti White card stock.

Inks are Real Red, Summer Sun, Old Olive, and Night of Navy.
