It was a little too early to check into our hotel, so we just headed straight to the Convention Center to get our cute bag full of goodies. It's so fun to see what it looks like each year! We didn't want to swap until Thursday, so we just checked out Memento Mall and all the amazing sample boards. There were some really cool demonstrations going on by the Memento Mall, so we got some great ideas and were able to see the new paper cutter. I can't wait until it is available!
We headed back to the hotel to check in and get our swaps for our Stampin' Addicts gathering that evening. It was about 5 blocks from our hotel, so we got a good walk in, too. I just have to say that the Stampin' Addicts are awesome! There are so many creative people in that group! I can't wait to show you all my swaps, but for now... here's just a few.

| Some of my swaps I got back. The Christmas card is by my sister, Stacy McCain. The two 3 x 3 cards are by my mom, Cris McCarthy. (She even made cute envelopes using our Simply Scored Tool.) The trading card is by Lisa Dallas. (I never would have thought to use the Pleasant Poppies stamp on a small card... so cute!) |
