blog makeover

Thank you to Theresa Bluhm at Always in Bluhm for the beautiful blog makeover!

Would love to know what you all think of my new creative space!

stylin' stampin' squad card swap!

I had the honor of meeting some of the lovely gals from the Stylin' Stampin' Squad while at Convention. I had decided that I wasn't going to create general swaps, but prior to attending Convention, I signed up to participate in a smaller swap with my monthly blog hop group! We each signed up in advance for what stamp set we would be using on our card so that we could come home with all different samples to use at our events, showcasing products from the Annual Catalog. We all met together on the last day of Convention right before closing session began!
