Always Shoebox Swap

Happy Tuesday! As I was frantically *starting* to come up with a Shoebox Swap card at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night before I had to fly out to Convention on Wednesday morning (what is wrong with me?!), I pulled out one of my favorite sets, Always (on page 57), that has been neglected for awhile. I must have been channeling Stampin' Up!, because when I got there, this bird was everywhere...like here and here and in the new designer series paper called Sweet Always. Love it!

I uploaded more Convention photos to my Webshots last night, like some of this room that SU had on display in the Gathering Place. I love "officey" stuff like this. Do you recognize that stamp used on the wall? It's the prize one I received, Organic Outlines, and it will also be available in Decor Elements Phase 2 as you can see on the chair.





If you'd like to look at certain things in my Webshots Convention album, here's a little guide for you:
  • more room/home decor displays from Gathering place, middle of page 4, start here
  • Sizzix Big Shots samples, page 5, here
  • Flight of the Butterfly (new set), page 5, start here
  • Inspired by Nature (new set), page 6, start here
  • Eastern Blooms (new set), page 6, start here
  • Make & Takes, Brent Steele projects, and new products, page 7, start here

Hope that helps! Thanks for you sweet comments about posting during Convention. I really felt bad because I had planned on posting and sharing lots more, but we seemed to be out so late each night and I was more tired than usual. We had a good deal (thanks, Asha!) on a super nice hotel by the airport (less than 10 minute drive), but it didn't allow us anytime to just "chill" in our room between events, which I think wore us out more. The money savings was worth it, though, because I can "chill" out at home now for free! lol!

Thanks for stopping by! Have you stamped something today?

You must work good under pressure Angie because this shoebox swap is beautiful! It takes on a different look with the new designer paper.
