As you may know, I am an avid swapper. I'm an avid swapper that tends to over do it sometimes!
Stampin' Up! is releasing a new mini catalog - the Occasions Mini - on March 1. Usually when a new mini is debuted, demos can preorder a month before the release to the general public. This is so demos can make samples for their customers to ohhh and ahhh over.
Well, if you remember back when SAB was announced, I joined a TON of swaps. Well, with this new mini, I joined a TON of swaps. As a result, my poor blog has been totally neglected. I am *still* working on a couple of more swaps. When I'm completely done, I'll post what I came up with.
In the meantime, here is a card I did a few months back. It was done for a Show Us What You Can Do Swap for a invite only demo swap group that I host. (Yes, I sign up for swaps AND I host them! Not to mention that I help moderate the swap forums on SCS. But, I am going off on a tangent aren't I?) Anyway... here's a card for you to take a look at until I have something more recent to post.
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: En Francais, True Friend, Baroque Motifs
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive, Whisper White, Pale Plum
Ink: pale Plum, Purely Pomegranate, Old Olive
Ribbon: 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain, Whisper White Grosgrain, Bravo Burgundy Grosgrain
Accessories: Bravo burgundy Marker, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Rhinestone Brad, Foam Tape
Tools: Oval Punches, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Ticket Punch

Love all that sparkle! I've learned the hard way that I can't handle too much swapping. I don't mind the receiving; it's the making and sending that does me in. LOL
