My swaps


I recently did a swap and thought I would share my work. I did three and will be posting them today and over the next two. Then hopefully Monday I will have a cute treat to share. My kids are working on making them for classmates so when they finish assembly you will get to see them.
This card used the butterfly die with the BS. LOVE IT!!! Instant gratification. Paper in, roll through and up pop the cutest little butterflies! I used a versa marker on the edges and dipped in dazzling diamond EP and heat set. The body is a corsage pin with our silver duo beads and I snipped off the end and used crystal effects to hold it. The leaves were another BS die with a little sponging. The flower button has a silver brad and then the senitment is from the last page of the catty. I saw it on several samples in the catalog and thought it was a rub on. I was so happy to see it as a stamp! Oh and did you see the pretty satin ribbon? Lots of little details.
See you tomorrow for another swap. I am going to go get some vitamin D in the sunshine!

sneek peek and more snow


The kids are supposed to be back at school after a week of vacation. I actually like snow, BUT, I want them to get out of school before July and I AM NOT JOKING!!! I heard before today's snow day, the last day of school will be June 25th. That makes me sad! I want them out so we can go have fun swimming and camping! UGH!!!
I am actually working on a double scrapbook layout today so those pics will be coming. And I had hoped to share my three swaps I just made but they are not to the swappers yet and I don't want to ruin surprises. So just a sneak peek of one of my swaps and some snow pictures of the kids.
Enjoy the snow. It really is beautiful, peaceful and lots of fun to play in. My mail lady reminded me Spring is in 17 days.
