Santa's Sleigh Ornament

While I was cutting out my black rheindeers for my On Stage swaps.  I used the negative of the cut out to make this cute ornament.  The background paper is from This Christmas SPecialty DSP.

Spooky Happy Halloween Card

I got this adorable spooky Happy Halloween card from my talented demonstrator friend Deb Modrowsky. So cute.

On Stage Secaucus, NJ

What a great day at On Stage in Secaucus, NJ.  I went home inspired with new ideas and with such wonderful swaps.  You can expect more samples in the coming days.  Even a sneak peek at the Occasions Mini cover.

Mena Green and Lilly Ruiz

These were my swap for On Stage.  3D ornament swap... made this using a chipboard coaster from a restaurant.  Used Pretty Pines Thinlits and Time of Year for greeting.

Along with the 3D swaps, I also made some card swaps.  I made 100 swaps and they all went...  tons of idea.

Monthly Technique Swap

Every month I participate in a Demonstrator themed swap.  I love getting my monthly swaps. October's Monthly Swap theme was "Techniques". 

Pat Militello:  Direct to Paper Watercolor

Cyndy Ponczek:  Partial Die Cut

Lilly Ruiz:  Dryer Sheet Glitter

Carol Barbati:  Rolling Marble Background

Deb Modrowsky:  Dry Embossing with Stencils

Jennifer Sootkoos:  Aqua Painter on Clear Block

Vicki Wu:  Stamp on Vellum

Mena Green:  Watercolor Background with Clear Block

When I was making my technique swap I trimmed the card stock to a 4 x 4 card. I couldn't get rid of the paper scraps so I put this quick card together.
