Another Great Shoebox Swap!

Hello! I know...it's been too long. Well, this last week has been busy. I decided to quit my job at Pier 1 so I can be a stay-at-home Mom/Grandma! Makayla starts Kindergarten tomorrow, and we decided it would be better for her to have a more "regular" routine. The easiest solution was for me to stay home. I also plan to devote more time to my SU business...yes...get back on a "regular" routine myself. Regular classes, regular blog posts, regular monthly page kits, and I'm even looking in to a little side business of selling my handstamped gift items. Very exciting stuff!

This past weekend, we had our Stampin' Up! meeting, and did another Shoebox Swap where we all design one card and prepare enough supplies for each attendee to make our card. This is such a fun way to get great new cards to share. This is the card that I designed for the swap.

This is one of my favorite sets from the new catalog, Circle Circus. This is just 6 of the 10 different circles you get in this set. These are also 3 of the 6 new In-Colors. Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. The ribbon is the new Dusty Durango Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon. The sentiment is from the new set, Teeny Tiny Wishes. This is a really great set. It has something for almost every occasion. It is stamped with Soft Suede Classic Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, punched out with the Word Window Punch and mounted on Dusty Durango Cardstock punched out with the new Modern Label Punch.

I have several cards to share with you this week, so come back soon to check them out!
Thanks for stopping by.
