Lemonade Gathering

My Upline and a couple of great ladies in my Stampin Up Group decided to still have a get-together and use some of our showbox swaps we had prepared.  What is a shoebox swap?  Well it was my first experience doing an actual shoe box swap.  Everyone brought enough supplies to make a full card or 3D item and put all their supplies in a box or basket and we had two tables of 10.  Each had enough for 10 makentakes.  We passed out baskets around and then we all went home with 10 different items!  How Fun.  This week I will be showing some of the fun things we made along with some other swaps I received.

I'm Back!!!

I have gotten a few emails wondering if I was ok as I have not posted in awhile.  I have been so busy getting swaps done and getting so excited for the Syracuse Stampin Up Regional.  It was supposed to take place last Saturday Feb. 27th.  Well Upstate NY was taken over by a huge snow storm and numerous roads and business were closed.  The Regional was cancelled and boy was I bummed.  I made a large amount of swaps and prepared for a fun shoebox we were going to be doing the night before.  It was going to be such a fun roadtrip.  My group is hoping Stampin Up will again try to get back to our area at some point soon.  Above is just one of the many swaps I made.  This is using one of my fav sets, Trendy Trees.
I used The New Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini called Sweet Pea.
