Spring Fling!?

No it is spring, sad to say, but our Spring Fling event is over and I can now concentrate on my classes, blogging, and everything else! We had a great day and everyone loved the projects we had planned. If you're wondering what the Spring Fling event was, it's our local event that my upline Tina puts on and I've been helping her plan and prepare it for the last several years. As demonstrators for Stampin' Up! we get together to share ideas, create stamped projects, learn about new products and business ideas. We had a couple of organized swaps, which I participated in and had lots of fun in general. Over the next few weeks, I'll share with you the swaps that I made and received. The smaller swap was for Sale-a-Bration.
Sale-a-Bration is a huge sale that Stampin' Up! has every year, starting in January. You get a FREE item for every $50 you spend, so everyone makes out. To top it off, last year Stampin' Up! started adding product halfway into this huge event! So next week you'll have even more items to choose from!
This first swap is mine. I used the Designer Tee set. The "Happy Birthday" is from that set, along with many other sayings that fit great into the Tee framelit in the Occasion Catalog. I didn't get that framelit (I know crazy!) but wanted to show it being used without the framelit. I also used the Candle Border punch. We made a similar card at the recent Open House. I tried to keep it simple, so if the recipients wanted to use it for a class. That's part of the reason for participating in a swap, is to get ideas and to have more samples! I hope you enjoy!

The next swap is from a good friend Gayle. She ran the swap and came all the way down from Massachusetts to be with us! Doesn't she do lovely work! She used Delicate Details. I love the colors, very soothing, don't you think? This is a very easy card to duplicate for a class!

 Well I hope you enjoyed these cards and I will post a few more in a couple of days!
