Monthly Swap - Last Group

Happy Memorial Day! Before anything, I just want to thank all those who serve us or who have served us. It takes a special person to put their life on the line and help defend our country or others who cannot defend themselves. A HUGE Thank You!!!

I hope you're having a wonderful holiday and/or holiday weekend. Mine is going to be a quiet one. With everything that's been going on in my life, I need some down time!

So I have for you my last two swaps from my monthly group. Just as a refresher, the theme was to make a background from your stamps, to make it look like patterned paper. As I have been doing with my swaps, I'm listing the products used after each sample. You'll be able to find all the products in my STORE. I'll provide the link again at the end.

This first one was made by Debbie Modrowsky. I didn't see her often before she moved so now I get to see her even less! I do miss her! She is a very talented stamper and all around wonderful person! Love her swap! I didn't get this stamp set, was just on the fence with it. A girl can only have so much! So I'm so happy to get this swap.
Stamp: Fabulous Flamingo
Ink: Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Flirty Flamingo, Memento Black, Pool Party, Powder Pink
Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Tranquil Tide, Powder Pink, Whisper White
Accessories: 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Metallic Sequins, Wink of Stella

I made this last card. This is one of my favorite sets from the Occasions Catalog and so happy it's carrying over into the new Annual Catalog. It looks a little flat in the picture, so you can't really see or tell I used dimensionals behind the bird to pop it up. The glimmer paper I used is retiring, however they will have something very close to this, you can easily swap them out.

Stamps: Petal Palette

Ink: Old Olive, Black Memento

Blends: Combos of Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral

Card Stock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Old Olive, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer

I hope you enjoyed these last 2 swaps and they have inspired you to create some cards of your own. If you have any questions, please contact me, I'd be more then happy to help. If you don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. Again, you can find all these items in my STORE. There are a couple of place to get all the benefits of shopping with me. You can find them in my VIP Monthly Host Code and Wish List. So when shopping, make sure to use this month's Host Code 4MXCH2YS. Enjoy!
