I failed to get a picture of Karen with her downline. But here is Karen to the left and below is Rhonda on the left and Norma on the right. It's not often that I'm able to spend time with my "sisters" but it sure was a fun evening sharing ideas with them! Thanks Karen for making this possible while I was in Charlotte!

















This first swap was made by Rhonda. She explained how she used the brayer to make the background before she stamped the trees. Rhonda did a great job getting all this lined up so perfectly. I Hope to give this a try at one of my upcoming parties.

And the below swap was made by Norma. Norma just became a demonstrator and I am so impressed with her work. Now I should say she's been a "Karen follower" for sometime but she finally took the plunge. I'm so glad to have her in the Stampin'Up! family.
You've heard the expression "less is more". Well this is a fine example of that. The simplicity is so elegant. This card can be used for so many occasions. I can't wait to make up a bunch leaving the sentiment off until the need arises.

I couldn't resist showing you up close the Pearl Jewels. Just that little touch adds to much!

That's all for day. Thanks for stopping by and do something good for yourself; stamp daily.

The SPRINKLED EXPRESSIONS stamp set makes a cute St. Patrick's Day card.

My sister, Sue, made this card as a swap for the Savvy Southern Sisters downline meeting...just in time for St. Pattie's Day. Who would have thought to make a four leaf clover out of a "heart" stamp?
Love it Sis! I will be casing this for sure at my class just before St. Pattie's Day.

And don't you love this color combination? This photo was taken while in Charlotte for my downline meeting. There's nothing like springtime in the Carolina's. Beautiful!

Until next time, happy stampin'!

The MIXED BUNCH stamp set featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog is one of my favorites.

Two of the ladies at the SAVVY SOUTHERN SISTERS Downline Meeting used the set for their swaps and I can't wait to case both!Above is the card front designed by Hilary, one of Michelle's downline. I love everything about this card!

Another one of Michelle's downline, Carolyn, designed this card. I love everything about this one too!

This is a close up....I love dazzling diamonds! Carolyn used a technique that I will be sharing with my ladies soon. She adhered the dazzling diamonds using a sticky sheet from Stampin'Up!

And the above card was given to me by Michelle. The set she used is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog and it can be yours for FREE by placing a $50 order. I'm going to hate to see this set and the coordinating DSP go once SAB is over.

Thanks for stopping by today. Join me tomorrow for more swaps from the Savvy Southern Sisters downline meeting. Start your Monday off right by stamping something today!

Today I'm sharing several SWAPS from the SAVVY SOUTHERN SISTERS Downline Meeting

My first post is by Lisa. She made what is called a "recessed window card". Not only did she give us the card, she gave us the directions. I can't wait to make one.
And the next swap was made by Michelle. She used the Gnome stamp set featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

And last but not least is Donna's swap. I love white on white and especially love the different textures she used.

I learned early on that with all the card samples floating around, why reinvent the wheel. These layouts are definitely on my list to make. Thanks Lisa, Michelle and Donna!

Stay tuned for more swaps....have a blessed Sunday!
