Well, I am packing for convention!   Here are the swap cards I have prepared. . . .don’t you wish you could swap with me?  I am looking forward to seeing friends from around the country and having a ton of fun!  I sure wish everyone could join me.  Make sure you check my website at least daily – I will try and post some great pics.  The best way to reach me the next several days if you want to book your workshop or rsvp for a class is to email me. . . . . Jim will be home holding down the fort if you need to actually talk to someone – we all know he’ll enjoy chatting with you!

Once you see the fun I am having, make sure you check out the opportunity for you to have the same opportunity that I have – you can start your own business right now for only $85!  You can make your business anything that you want – a hobby demo or a business demo that helps support the family income – or anywhere in between!  This offer is good until Aug 31!

Let me know what you think about my swaps by posting a comment.  Which is your favorite?  Which one would you swap for? 

OK, aren’t we all lovin’ the BIG SHOT?   Here are two of the new dies;  Flower Folds and Elegant Bouquet.  Both are exclusive to Stampin’ Up! 

Flower Folds - this die has 4 flowers with folds in them so that you get a 3 dimensional look to your projects.   I can’t wait to use this one on a scrapbook page (hmmmm, that would be a great first set of pages for the scrapbook club!).   On this card, I have used the 3 smaller flowers.  Of course you are seeing a blend of the In Colors (Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo). 

Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder - there are TWO new embossing folders!  We loved (and still do) the Manhattan Flower die – and now we have two more!    Yippeee!  On this card, I used the Stampin’ Pastels and highlighted the embossed image.  Note our new punch with the greeting.  Stay tuned for more with this punch!
