Butterfly Trading Cards

What are trading cards??  Well, they are basically small samples that you can use as business cards or attach to the front of a card.  I signed up for TWO of these swaps!  Here is the first one I have completed using one of my favorite new stamp sets, Papillon Potpourri.  I wanted to add a little sparkle, so added some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.  I think these would look really cute on the front of a card with a vanilla and coral base...  maybe I'll try that and let you know.

Another fun 3 x 3 Card

Happy Early Halloween!  I know Halloween isn't for over three months, but I couldn't resist buying this stamp set and making this cute mini 3 x 3 card.  This is for another swap I'm in... can you tell I'm a little addicted to stamping and swapping??  I think I signed up for probably 10 organized swaps...  On a very good note, I'm more than halfway finished with them!

Bottle Cap Magnets

I've been busy getting some swaps ready for Convention, which is in two weeks!  I like signing up for organized swaps, because I know what I'll be getting back.  In case you have no idea what a swap is, I'll explain.  You create a card or mini project and then trade it with someone for another idea.  It's a great way to get samples from stamp sets you don't currently own.  Here's my 3D swap project.  I made bottlecap magnets.  My daughter has been making these for years, so I knew I had plenty of supplies on hand.

Happy 4th of July and Swap Sample

I want to wish all my friends and family a very happy and safe 4th of July!  We're still deciding what we will be doing, but I know we'll watch fireworks somewhere.

I thought this cute 3 x 3 card swap would be perfect for today, since it has a red, white and blue color scheme, with some sunny yellow.  Enjoy!

Getting Ready for Convention...

I just returned from my third road trip to Boise yesterday, so I apologize for not posting anything last week!  We had a fabulous time playing Bunco... Stampin' Up! Style last Thursday.  I can't wait to host another one in August! 

I did work on some card swaps at mom's house and I finished a few today, too.  Here are a few sneak peek, messy craft room pictures.  I'll post some of the finished swaps starting tomorrow!

Happy Crafting and have a fun week!
