It's Swap time!

I am getting very excited as in 2 days time I will be leaving for Barcelona in preparation for the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip on a Mediterranean Cruise that commences on Sunday.  I earnt this trip last year and Stampin' Up! pay for myself and a guest to travel, this will be my 5th trip and I can't wait!

I will be spending 4 days with some beautiful friends, Michelle, Monica, Amanda and Natalie, people whom I have met through being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I am so happy to have a few days to chill with them before the cruise begins.

So on Saturday I began to prepare my swaps for this trip.  Here's all the elements before I assembled them.

Can you spot some sneak peaks?

Leave me a comment below to let me know which Sneak Peak products you can see and I will pull a name from the hat to send a little treat in the post to say thank you for stopping by!

I will share my completed swap with you later, first I have a little packing to do!

Thank you for stopping by, come back very soon!

Butterfly Basics

I am having a fabulous time creating cards and projects with lovely new Stampin' Up! products from the Spring/Summer catalogue.

 

Today's card uses a gorgeous stamp set called

 

"Butterfly Basics"

 

and what's great is that there's a set of framelits dies that you can buy along with the stamps on a bundle and save yourself 15%

 

My colour combo is

Calypso Coral

Baked Brown Sugar

Coastal Cabana

 

The butterfly was stamped in Calypso Coral and cut out with the co-ordinating Framelit die

 

 

All of the images used on the card are from the same stamp set!

 

The DSP is from the Sale-a-bration flyer, FREE with any £45 order and is called "Best Year Ever".  There is also co-ordinating Ribbon and Buttons that you can earn for FREE which I have also used on my card.

 

I hope you like it!

 

If you would like to order the products I used on my card, you can call or email me with an order or simply

 

SHOP ONLINE and have your goodies delivered direct to your door!

Scrapbooking

I can't believe that my little angel has turned 16, and more to the point my son was 18 recently too!!

 

A very simple layout with not too much detail, straight to the point, no journalling but pretty in itself too.

 

The papers are from "Floral District", love the colour combinations of Rich Razzleberry and Baja Breeze teamed with some daffodil delight which I toned down by using a neutral base.

 

More from the lovely "Papillion Potpourri" butterfly stamps which I also stamped onto the crumb cake base with the same ink colour.

 

A close up of the tone on tone butterflies and the lovely "Finishing Touches" edgelits ziz zag border.
