Love is in the air
So I just couldn’t resist sharing some more swaps.
So what is sharing here? A few swaps I received from Marlene Salvato at our 2013 Stampin’ Up! Leadership event I went to in Orlando, Florida!
Seriously are these just the cutest ever? I LOVE the Little Penguin! I have another one from her that I’ll share with you all later! I also love the lay out on the both cards. The color combo and textures on the other card are just AWESOME!
Ok, going to relax now it’s chilly and I have a quiet house! Need to finish a blanket that I’m making for my grandmother. Which you can see HERE next week.
Check back in tomorrow for some more ideas! Until then….
Happy Stampin’

Happy Friday
Hi Stampers! Well it’s about time I start sharing right? I know I do apologize my son was sick yet again!!! He was just sick over his X-mas vacation! Poor him – but this was his first full week back to school and Mom is getting caught up! So since Stampin’ Up!s Sale-A-Bration is in full swing let me start by sharing some AWESOME ideas from Swaps I received at Leadership! The 1st card sample is using the Feeling Sentimental Set from the Sale-A-Bration catty! LOVE THEM! Enjoy!
Ok seriously? Are these not great cards! Talk about simple and pleasing to the eye!
The creators from left to right: Cheryl Segawa, Diana Sarkine and the last has no name on the back of the card!
Here is another great and simple card! I LOVE this card. Thanks to Georgia for swapping with me! No last name.
I will have some more shares a little later! Thanks for stopping by and
Happy Stampin’,
