Just a quick hello to let you know I’m still here.  Just busy, busy.  Getting ready for convention, prepping for the classes that I had this week.  And we have been out of town so much the past few weeks that I can’t get it all done.  Here are a few pictures of my swaps….

That’s 105 3×3 cards for a swap I am in on Thursday afternoon at Convention – are you in my swap then you will get one.  I’ll show the actual card itself hopefully next week otherwise it will be after I get back – just depends on if I can get the posts written and scheduled before I leave.

And here is another one –

That’s 60 FULL cards for the UStamp swap on Wednesday afternoon.  If you are in that swap with me then you will get one of these.  And if not you’ll have to wait for my blog post to see it and the step by step instructions.  This one was way too many steps for such a large number or cards – I need to remember to cut back next time.  This card has taken me the longest to get ready.  It uses craft ink and heat embossing and dry embossing, and masking and I really like it but I don’t think I want to make any more…..

And look at this one

That’s the parts for 50 Full cards.  This one is my Shoebox swap on Tuesday night.  I had this card planned but wanted to use one of the new stamp sets from the catalog.  So I placed my order on July 1st with 2day air shipping – paid extra for that – and with the weekend and the holiday it all got here on Thursday night, but Friday was class day, so this is what I spent most of Saturday working on – this and finishing those Ustamp cards.  And prepping for today’s class.  Anyway this one is all set – 25 completed cards and 25 kits for the swap on Tuesday.  I hope to see you there.  And if you aren’t there I will have the card and directions posted later  – this one is a peek-a-boo card – that’s what I call it – maybe it has another name.

And I still have more things to get done –

Anyway – gotta go – i may not have any more posts for a while – we’ll see how my time goes…..i leave early Tuesday morning for convention…
