I made several of these cute Tess frames for some of my dearest stamping friends to hang in their stamp rooms. a perfect convention treat for all of us — We sure do LOVE stamps!!!
(this one is mine and I left it home)
Here are a few from the Shoebox swap at convention. I took a BUNCH of pictures..but not all of them turned out. I hope to post at least a few others this week.
This CELEBRATE card was mine. we made it at a workshop before we left. the theme of the workshop was masculine cards. I had to take this picture with my phone!
this was the card I made for general swapping- only slightly revised. I only made about 15 since I had so many other swaps going. i love the gray and the curry- very construction don’t you think??? again photo taken with my phone before they were all swapped!
Hope you enjoyed seeing all the different styles of stamping. will be back tomorrow with a card kit for this month!
Here are some of my favorite swaps from Convention. Some were from General swapping and most were from the splitcoast dinner. I put them all in the same bag so Im not sure which was from where. I have about 85 swaps in total so I can’t post them all, but they all were GREAT!!

Ok, so does any one else travel for a few days and get slammed when they get home? well I have been super busy with scrap club, card kits, classes and a few other stampin related items. Plus my husband is installing hardwood in my Living room, dining room and foyer. OMG my house is a complete disaster- everything had to be removed from the rooms!!!

I am flooded with memories and overwhelmed with excitement. It was such a FABULOUS experience! I am truly amazed with this company, what it does, how it effects so many women in so many different ways. The diverse women you see & meet here at convention and this bond of Stamping we share- I don’t even know how to explain it in words! You just have to be here to experience it. I am hopeful to post some more pics soon! JILL
