CK Convention Card Swap - my card!

This coming week - August 19, 20, and 21 the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention is coming to Tulsa! I've attended the last 2 years, but mostly only for shopping. This year, of course, I have shopping to do, but I joined a 'class'. It's a card swap!

For this class, you come with 20 cards, and exchange with others, and you end up with the same amount, but 20 totally different cards! We will also make an additional 5 cards with the leader showing us some techniques. I'm looking forward to learning something new. (As always.)

This is my card. I finished them this afternoon, and have them already wrapped in their protective sleeves, ready to go for this coming Friday night's class!!

*Stained Glass stamp from Stampin' Up - heat embossed with black powder, and watercolored.

Stationery Box Set for My College Roommate!

Click on any of the pictures to get a full-screen view!


This is the card I made for my roomate, just to give her a pick-me-up.

This is the Stationery Box I made for her, with cards to send to her Mom!
I used lots of my pink ribbon, and pink eyelash yarn, as well as the DCWV Butterflies and Blooms paper and the Chipboard pieces that coordinate! I found them with some luck one day... and they are PERFECT here!

This first set of small cards are 'leftover' pieces from cutting down the A2 cards.... and they just make cute little notes to attach to anything, so I decorated and included them!
These are also the A2 size, cut down to fit in the front of the Stationery Box. They're called Love Notes! I also used my Crafter's Companion to make the envelopes for these small cards.

These 12 cards are A2 sized, and in addition to all the butterflies here, I also stamped the envelopes with my SU 2 step Butterfly set. One of the cards, I took a huge long piece of the eyelash yarn and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped! I think it looks SO cute!

I also have this really cute flowered ribbon, and the sentiment just went perfectly behind it and shows through the sheer ribbon.

The Define Your Life set of stamps was perfect for this, since they're uplifting definitions, just perfect for pick-me-ups!!

As you can see, the sentiments on the fronts of the cards are all Stampin' Up with lots of different color inks. I want to thank all the ebayers I've been purchasing retired sets and current sets at better prices! I so appreciate that, because then I can add such nice details to my cards!!!

Please Enjoy!
