The creativity just keeps flowing...

I am getting swap cards done for convention...I am cheating a little, how you ask? Well at home I find my idea create one and then get all the stuff ready to be assembled and do the rest in my spare time at work on my lunch and when it's not busy, even on the bus. Now I am wishing more and more that I could do this full time, I am having so much fun. Would love to share it with you.

This swap card is a technique I learned at Kim's technique retreat that she holds semi-annually. I love going to this event. I already have a nice file that holds, oh I don't know 250 techniques, but I am hands on, and Kim does such a fantastic job that I just prefer to go to her studio and leave home with a nice fancy album with 20 tecniques and instructions. And bonus I get to mingle with some amazing ladies that I don't get to see often and that I love...

I used the Inspired by nature stamp set;
Rose Red and Always Artichoke;
and to do the fluff on the flower; you
ripe some cardstock and adhere to glued area.
I just simply LOVE IT!!!

I also finished 5 altoid tin gift boxes for my 3-D altered swap at convention. I learned this one at a meating whe have every month and it was for x-mas 2010. I changed it up a bit and added a few other techniques I learned along the way.

I colored and embossed the Stampin' Up! pearls, so gorgeous.

Ruffled ribbon technique.

This is the inside to put cash, gift card or even
DIAMONDS...loll hint hint...

Well that's all for now, will try to come back real soon. Good night! xxx
