Christmas Cards

They're here! And I love them! My upline, Donna, organized a Christmas Card Swap with our team, the Scrappy Stampers @ Heart. There were 10 of us so we each made 10 identical cards and then swapped them with each other. I'll post details for each card in the next few days. In the meantime, you can click on this photo to see it larger.

I Feel Naughty...

My friends own Paper Dreams, a scrapbooking store in Abilene. This is also where we have our monthly workshops there. Every time I go, I find something I have to buy. I haven't used non-CTMH for several years, so I feel a little naughty doing it! But I fell in love with this line by Crate Paper. I love how they sell all sorts of things in that particular kit: Rub-Ons, Paper, Stickers, Chipboard (LOVE THEM), and brads. Plus, I had CTMH cardstock that matched perfectly-- Lagoon, White Daisy, Sunset, Desert Sand and Sweet Leaf.
So, If you live in the Abilene area, go visit their store. It's so much fine. I think their prices are great, too. Plus, they stay on top of trends are always switching out the old for the new.
