A Perfectly Preserved Birthday

I have a VERY exciting week ahead of me.  I am a guest at the Stampin' Up Regional Conference in Denver this coming Saturday.  Yeah!!  (And thanks so much to Donna for inviting me!)

I hear there's this thing called "swaps" and that I have to take a supply of my cards to trade.  So I'm starting today with a big focus on Stampin' Up this week.

For my first card, I thought it would be appropriate to play along with a brand new challenge - Fab Friday.  I'm trying to use the newest of my new stamps so I pulled out Perfectly Preserved.  After doing the die cutting, etc. I am most definitely NOT going to have a big supply of this particular card to trade - but I'll have handful!

Perfectly Preserved Birthday


I hope everybody in the States has a great Labor Day planned.  I am still dealing with the bored kid on crutches so we decided to drive down to Colorado Springs for his favorite breakfast -"The Thing".  I'm sure I will have pictures to share tomorrow as I do seem to feature big food on my blog.  

Since I'm in the Springs - watch out Simple Pleasures - the most wonderful scrapbook store on this earth - I'll be there by noon or so and I have a shopping list!!  What a wonderful day!

  • Paper: Stampin' Up Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla and Orchard Harvest dsp

  6. What an adorable and fun swap card! Everyone will love it! Isn't that jar just so much fun? I love how you put the lid next to the jar instead of right on top and the little scallops are the perfect touch. Thanks for playing along with us at Fab Friday!

Have fun at the regional...you're in for a real treat! And I hate mass production so good luck with the swaps...I wouldn't want to cut too many of these either, ha! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
