Convention 2006

You might be wondering why I am posting about something that happened almost two years ago.  Well, there are two reasons.  One, I have been revamping my craft room (pictures to come in a week or so), and I found these old swap cards.  And two, I am going to Convention at the end of July, and it is coming up.  I have signed up for a TON of swaps (so many in fact, that off the top of my head, I don't know exactly how many).  So, Convention swaps are on my mind.

Any way, I made these two cards for the Splitcoast dinner.  I was very proud of these cards.  I was a demo for less than a year at this point and for me, they were some of the best cards I had ever done.  This one here on the left used Mixed Bouquet and the Luminous Pearls technique.  If you'd like to see a bigger picture of this one, you can find it here.

The colors on this card are Certainly Celery, Regal Rose and Basic Black.  I just love how black always seems to make colors pop.

Here is the second card that I made.  This one used Natural Beauty and the Heated Pearls technique and crayon resist.  I was very bummed when Stampin' Up! retired PearlEx from their catalog.  There are so many wonderful and beautiful techniques that can be done with it.  I can't seem to remember the colors that I used in this card, but I think it was Always Artichoke, Basic Black, Really Rust and More Mustard.

If you want to see a more detailed pic of this card, you can find this one here.

Oh!  One thing I forgot to mention...

I have started a non-SU blog.  There isn't much on it, since mainly use Stampin' Up! products.  But if you'd like to take a look, visit my non-SU blog at http://sdiegogal.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com.  I'm calling it "The Stamp Workshop Annex".

If you have any questions about these cards, feel free to contact me at Michelle@stampworkshop.com

Reminisce!

hey michelle - it IS fun to look back at the old stuff we did, isn't it? i went to your new blog and tried to add it to my google reader (thanks for sharing how to use that by the way!!!) and i can't seem to get the new blog added. it says something like there is no feed available for this blog or something like that. any ideas?

anyway - we have missed you! hope we'll see you soon. i have seen things for that new store, but i think it may be too far for me to travel. maybe some time when i am down that way anyway i will have to search it up... sounds like it's a keeper!

I actually have both of these cards in my collection and love them both. Too bad those stamp sets retired...they are both among my 'favoritest'! Looking forward to seeing you at convention, Michelle, and more of your superific swaps!
