Card Swap

 A local group swaps cards every couple of months.  With the busy schedule I have these days, I decided to cut back to only 2 groups this round.  I did Non Traditional (where the card opens any way but the usual A2 card) and Gift Card holder.

I chose to do the Double Slider Card for the Non- traditional.

This is the gift card holder..I was shown this by my Stampin' Up! Upline....

Borders Swap

I recently hosted a swap to make Border Sets.  I had seen various takes on this over on Splitcoast Stampers and knew I wanted some...

It was a great swap and I got lots of great sets to use in my scrapbooking..I am so excited to find time to scrap now.

I made this set for the Animals group...I had seen this lion made by someone on SCS, and now of course I can't find my notes, so if you know who the original creator was, please let me know so that I can give proper credit.

CS - Stampin Up, PP - Reminisce, Ribbon - misc


This next one, I did for the Boys Group...

CS - SU, Stamps - SU Just Riding, pp - misc, misc black embossing powder, versamark

This one was for the Holiday group.  Because most of the others in the swap are from the US, I chose to do July 4th for them (I did do Canada Day for the two of us who are Canadian, but haven't taken pictures of it yet)
CS - SU, PP - misc, Star brads - misc, SU New Scalloped trim border punch, stickles.  

I cut the stars using a file I got from a blog (can't find my notes, so as soon as I do will update with proper credit..)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Long Time, No Scrap

but I'm happy to say I'm back in the game..life has been crazy with Soccer starting (indoor skills) and Scouts.  I truly am looking forward to July and having no activities that we have to run to every night LOL!!

I went to a weekend retreat with some friends back in March and it got the mojo going again.  Not much was completed there, but I came home ready to dig into my supplies.

I did manage to work on some swaps, and I got 1 LO done, using a Happy Mail swap kit that I received from an online friend, Natalie...thanks again!!  I love it!!!  Here is the page I did with it..


I'll be back very soon to share some things I made for swaps!!
