Hello everyone!! My DD Holly and I went to the Austin/Georgetown, Texas SCS Christmas Shoebox swap on Saturday and look who was there...Lynn (allee's)...Whoohoo!!! I have been a big fan of Lynn's for years and it was such a joy to finally meet her!!! She is such a sweet lady and boy, can she stamp!!!!
Now, I gotta tell ya that she really isn't that short...I was stretched to my full 5'1" height but Lynn was sitting on the table....we thought maybe y'all would think I was 5'7....LOL!!!
This is the whole gang...we had such a great time and how cool to have over 20 cards ready to mail out...Whoohoo!!!!
I made this card yesterday for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoast. We were honoring Michele (MitchyGitchyGoomy) and WOW...what a fabulous gallery!!! I finally chose the Cherry Valentine to case. I kept the same theme and basic layout but I changed the colors, stamps, and added two more hearts. The Clear Dollar Stamps Billy Bee and sentiment were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and Billy was colored with copics. Glitter was added to the wings for a little sparkle. Primas, ribbon, ferns, and a Candy Dot finish it off.

Such an adorable card, Joan! Your shoebox swap sounds like a BLAST, and how awesome for you to meet Lynn! (and her to meet YOU!) {{big hugs}}
sounds like you had fun at the shoebox swap and you have cards ready to go-that's always a plus-especially if they are christmas cards. just love your fs card-the colors and the hearts are so sweet together
What a wonderful card. I like it very much too. Those colors fit so well together. I haven't finished decorating the tree yet as well. I like this activity, it's also a tradition, but it would be good to have it done.
Take care,
