Laura, me, Ann and Lisa took a tour of the offices and warehouse in Riverton, UT. I love going out there to see the place. It is the cleanest warehouse I've ever seen and the offices just make you want to work there! All the employees are super nice, too.
Here is the first swap card I made. I was inspired by all the yellow and gray I've been seeing lately. Even the cute convention bags they gave us were Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Gray!

Here's another one of my swaps. I had alot of Pretty in Pink cardstock and all the larger pearls leftover from the wedding cards so this is what I came up with...a cute baby card. I mounted the feet and words on one large clear block so I could get them straight and I could stamp the whole thing at once. The little flowers are Pink Pirouette cardstock stamped with Pretty in Pink ink and attched with glue dots.

I was only going to take two different card fronts to swap but I had a make 'n take prepared for an event at church the Saturday before I left and had a bunch of pieces left over. Here's the make 'n take. I dressed up note cards with embossed white on white and a quick little embellishment.

So, I took the left overs from the note cards and turned them into this! I used Whisper White cardstock behind the embossed layer instead of the note card and added a layer of Early Espresso behind that. I also dressed up the butterfly a bit using the basic perals. Can you tell I love those pearls!
Happy Stamping!
