The Regional that Wasn’t SWAPS

I'm now referring to the Syracuse Regional as "The Regional that Wasn't" – lol! Because I find I'm always wanting to share things from "The Regional" – but there wasn't actually a Regional! So these SWAPS are from the "Regional that Wasn't"!! A bunch of ladies that were attending and already had their SWAPS done mailed them so that we could still exchange some ideas. I still have about 40 SWAPS un-swapped… I think I'll have to sign up for an online SWAP somewhere!

Created by Kristen Koskie: Kristen used one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog, Vintage Vogue! I love the simplicity of this card and what she's done to distress the Scallop Circle Punch and make it into a floral accent.

Created by Debbie Sowards: This stamp set "Simply Said", is an oldie but a goodie! It's been around the block for a while, but it never gets old to me. Every time I see a card done with it, I just say "Oh how I love that stamp set!" I just love Debbie's color selection of Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip.

Created by Michelle Fairbrother: The top of this card that the flower is on is actually a flap that opens up and you can stick a gift card or note inside! Very cute. I also love how she created the flower itself by distressing circle layers – it looks like she did the same thing as Kristen did on the first card I showed and misted water on the cardstock to crinkle it up better. Her use of the Scallop Corner Punch is also very cleaver!

Shoebox Swap for Maria!

I can hardly believe that Regionals are coming up on Friday!! It seems like I had SO Much time to prepare, and now I'm of course scrambling to get everything done that I wanted to do.

Friday night after Regionals & Dinner we're doing a Shoebox SWAP with some fellow Demonstrators and a couple of Stampin' Up! Staff Members. I have a customer attending with me, and she wanted to attend but wasn't sure about designing her own project so I offered to do it for her. So here's what Maria is going to be bringing for the Shoebox Swap!

• These adorable little images come from the stamp set "Forest Friends". Priced at just $14.95, this is one of the stamp sets that you can take for FREE during Sale-A-Bration, now through the end of March!
• I just love using Dusty Durango and Sahara Sand together for a "woodsy" feel – they look so sharp and have such contrast!
• The "Mini Library Clips" just go perfectly with the images – a Mini Clip for a Baby Animal!

Leadership SWAP!

I've been hard at work putting together my SWAPS for Leadership!! I cut down this year and am only making up 64 of these… but we're snowed in today and I have some extra time on my hands, so I just might get to doing another design… we'll see how these go!

I am so pleased with how this design turned out, that it's going to actually be my 1st installment in my January – April U Pick 2 Menu!!!
