CONVENTION SWAPS...

I have finally finished my Convention Swaps!  Although I am not able to go to convention, my upline, Susan Elise, has been kind enough to offer to take them for me.  I can't wait to see what everyone is coming up with!  I rarely check out other's blogs anymore, because I don't like to have others designs influence my thoughts when designing, so I am excited for the chance to see what other demos are doing.

Life has been hectic.  Reorganizing my stamping supplies, marking all my Retired 4 Sale Products and getting ready for my Open House next weekend is taking it's toll.  Time was getting short, so instead of coming up with a whole new design, I decided to cheat a little and use one of my sneak peek projects.  Back on June 24, I shared my Flowers & Friends Forever card.  I did half of my convention swaps in that design with a different ribbon and half in the different color combo below.  Amazing how just changing the colors give it a whole different feel!
