Regional Swap Card....

I used this sample from a recent card buffet to create a swap for the Rhode Island Regional last Saturday.  I didn't take a photo of the swap card, but I did change out a few elements.  I used the Flowering Flourishes and I stamped the butterfly from Papillion Potpourri in Tangerine Tango.  I just might have to take another picture and post it.

Rhode Island Regional

Here is our group of Demonstrators that went.  My upline, Linda to my left and three of my downline, as well as a sideline.  Seasonal Sayings and the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit in the background of the photo, were great giveaways that day.

Seasonal Saying and Merry Moments

If you have never been to a Stampin' Up! event, you can be sure there will be a prize patrol.  My name was picked and I received the Owl Occasions stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

And finally, the wonderful and charming, Bonnie Thurber, Director of Demonstrator Training for Stampin' Up! in Salt Lake City.  She is absolutely full of energy and laughter.  Thank you Bonnie for making Saturday

This week's Digital Downloads have this cool new Planner Template for the coming 2013 year.
Includes 28 page planning templates,  54 SVG stamp brush set, 7designer series patterns and 52 embellishments.  All for only $14.95.  

You say you don't know what an .svg stamp set is?  SVG - scalable vector file - This type of file means you can stretch it and it won't lose the crispness of the edges. MDS2 stamps are now svg files so they can be made as big as you want it to be and it will still look good.

Just for clarification.
