on my mind...

I made this matchbook card a few days ago. It's a CASE from last years SU kit called Holiday Blitz. After the promotion, SU had a sale on the kits (less the wild wasabi base card) and I snatched some up. The kit came with a whisper white panel that I chose not to use. I like the flowers stamped on the soft sky dsp.

It's hard to see in the photo, but the red layer has paper piercing along both edges. The red zig zag ribbon is stapled on.

convention swaps

My friend Georgann hostessed a gathering today at her house for the making of Stampin' Up! convention swaps. I won't be attending that convention... I will be at CKC in Valley Forge, PA(woohoo!!) instead. If you're there Friday, look for me! I will be doing registration and also manning the vendor faire entrance. Back to convention.... I really love to make swaps and I tend to make really complicated ones too. So, I made these spring cards that they had in the SCS Weekly Inkling last a few back. I didn't want to use 12x12 paper so I started with a 4.25 x 8.5 piece first. Again, my handy dandy Score-Pal was used on this and they were amazingly easy because of it. I have no idea how people deal without it! I know how I did... I rarely scored anything!
