You Rock

This is the third and final Swap Card that I brought with me to Convention.
This idea popped in my head as soon as I saw the YOU ROCK stamp set in the new catalog.

I had my hubby in mind when I made this card because I would rather to NOTHING with him that to do SOMETHING with anyone else - HOWEVER - he is not with me on this trip to Convention in Utah. A very rare occasion when don't do something together.  Love ya, Babe!  See you on Sunday!

I used the YOU ROCK Stamp Set and FROM MY HEART

The colors are Island Indigo and Rose Red

I love the new shape of the small punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

I embossed the image with the WOODGRAIN embossing folder because rocking chairs are made from wood and it just looked too plain without some embossing.

I hope to come home with a lot of great ideas to share with you all.

Thanks for stopping by!

STAMP 10

Here are three of the Christmas cards that we made at last weeks STAMP 10 Class.

A fun little Snow girl – if you remember I love to create things with our fabulous punches.

How easy to design a card using our wonderful Designer Series Paper. This one here is using the paper called Holiday Lounge.

Can’t forget to make a special card for the kids, right This one here is using the stamp set Choo Choo.

Notice all the sparkles on these cards… the ladies went home looking FABULOUS!! with all the sparkles over their hands, face and clothing! We all got a great chuckle out of that.
