KIND AND CARING THOUGHTS

Hello Stampers,

I am sure that I am having a wonderful time right now at convention! Here is another swap that I did.

I used the kind and caring thoughts stamp set

dusty durango, crushed curry or bermuda bya and crushed curry and razzleberry lemonaide DSP

I also used the butterfly die for the big shot and the texurz plate polka dot to give the butterfly dimension.

CONVENTION PART 3

Hi there stampers! Today was the first full day of convention. We had alot of fun...no stamping today though (bummer) that will be tomorrow. Here is as close as I got to Shelli today, this is her husband Sterling. I got in line to late and he was the "sorry end of the line guy" so I improvised and took my picture with him instead!! OOOH look what I got today!!!! Stampin Up! has teamed up with Build A Bear and they had special bears for sale today with the Stampin Up! logo on her foot and a cute in- color bow on her ear. She is also holding a stamp that says ...Life without stamps (and then a paw print) unbearable! Cute, cute, cute!!!!

CONVENTION PART 2

Hi again,
I have a couple more pictures to share.... Here I am with my convention buddies/roommates Liz and Stacy. This is the theme of convention this year and I really like it. In my opinion this is what stamping and Stampin' Up! is all about!!! Look...here is one of my cards!!!! It was so exciting to see them up on the display boards. I actually had 4 that I found...Woo Hoo for me!!

CONVENTION

KIND AND CARING THOUGHTS

Goodmorning Stampers,

Woo Hoo!! Today is the first day of convention! I

be checked in and standing in the momento mall line about now!

Here is another one of my swaps. Again I was doing a 6x6 tech swap and made some cards to go along with it.

This is the cracked glass technique. Its kind of hard to tell in the picture but the flower image is cracked.

For this tech you use glassy glaze embossing powder. You stamp your image and then versamark the whole paper use the glassy glaze and heat set. Let dry. Reversamark and use glassy glaze two more times. Put in freezer for a few minutes and remove, bend paper and the embossed powder will crack. If you dont like how it cracked reheat and refreeze, then crack again!

old olive, rich razzleberry, whisper white and razzleberry lemonaide DSP

razzleberry polka dot ribbon

Hello Stampers,

Look at all these beautiful swaps I made!!! I am probably on a plane about now, on my way to Salt Lake City Utah!

If you are lucky enough to make it to convention this year, come up and say hi to me. I would love to meet you!

If you are staying home this year, I will try to post (hopefully with some really cool pictures) so you can feel like your there too!

These cards are for a organized swap I joined. We get to make some of these the first night we are in SLC. It always excites me to start the week off stamping!!!
