Last one.

This is my 6x6 scrapbook layout.  I'm not very good at these so it may not seem very inspired, but I thought I'd share anyway.  Also, posting these has made it very clear to me that I need to learn how to use my camara better.  I used the Autumn Splendor set more most of the stamping.

I used this "perfect" stamp from the Define Your Life set.

More mini-convention swaps

This is the card swap I made for our mini-convention.  I love this new Elizabeth stamp, and you just can't go wrong with quotes from strong women!

Because I Care post it cover

My upline recently had a "mini-convention" for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to go to the Stampin'Up convention.  This is one of the swaps I signed up for, the 3-D swap.  You can't really tell what it is 'cause I was a dope and forgot to take a picture of the inside, but it is a post it note cover.  I used the "Because I Care" hostess set and some of the brand new colors: Marina Mist, Daffodill Delight and Early Espresso.  I'll post the other swaps I made tomorrow.  I still need to take pics of them.  See ya tomorrow!

I just made up this card today to practice posting on this here new fangled blog. I used Crumb Cake as the base. I used a strip of the Presto Pattern S.DSP on the left and antiqued it with the gold glow Smooch Spritz and around the edges with Early Espresso ink. I stamped the image underneath with the large stamp from the Baroque Motifs set and inked it with the Champagne Mist shimmer paint. The center image is stamped with our brand new Elizabeth stamp it was inked with a combination of Early Espresso and Champagne Mist shimmer paint on shimmer white card stock. The sentiment is from the Favorite Thoughts set in the summer mini catalog.
