***EDITED TO ADD*** Oops, realized the bow came off, will have to reattach and take a new pic, LOL! Happy happy Monday all!! I had such a GREAT time at Regionals!! I learned lots of fun new techniques, saw some old friends, met lots of new ones, and I had a great time with my two fellow demos and friends Candice and Lisa (waving madly at you, LOL)! I am very tired because I got back VERY late on Friday night, had Club on Saturday, and an all day class yesterday.....I should never book myself like that again, I have not even had a chance to catch my breath, LOL! But, it was all good!! I wanted to share the swap I did for Regionals....yes, I know I said I wasn't going to do any BUT I found myself with a little bit of time before we left and decided to come up with one that I could whip up 40 of and not stress myself out, LOL! I love these colors and decided it would be perfect for my swap as the colors are happy and bright which is how I felt about getting to go. I did not put a sentiment on this one as I could not decide on one...I will add one when I send it out. I used the Kaleidoscope patterned papers - I just love the colors and flower patterns! I will be using lots more of this as the weather gets warmer as I think it is perfect for spring and summer!! I also used my Scalloped Edge Border Punch which is only availabe through the Sale-A-Bration catty - with a $50 order this punch is yours FREE but only until March 31st when it goes away. If you want to put in an order, go to my website and order online, easy peasy!! The stamps are from the Charming stamp set which was in the holiday mini and is so popular that it is still available to order now. I am definitely a fan, love how much you can do with this set!! So, I felt better that I accomplished at least one swap card and was happy when people seemed to like it! Today I am going to have some downtime, and catch up on things like laundry and groceries. I also hope to share some fun pics of Regionals with all of you tomorrow as I plan on editing those today as well! Thanks for stopping by, and I will be by your blogs later to see what you have been up to!
