Got Coffee!!!!

Caffeine swap is done:-) I took 2 spots and did coffee for both. I do have several tea stamp sets but stuck with coffee on this particular swap. I am happy with the way they turned out. Finding saying for these cards where hards so some of the ones I had in the stamp set where very cheesey. Here are the pics so let me know what you think.

First set of cards for the coffee swap.

This is a close up of the card. I embossed the metallic cardstock with a Cuttlebug folder (not sure which one) and very happy with the way it turned out. I embossed the coffee cup with a bronze metallic embossing powder.

I try very hard to sign the back of my cards and this is one of my favorite stamps for that.
This is the second set of cards I did for the stamp.

I love this coffee stamp set from DeNami. This is her design and I copied it, I think it is really cute with the pastel colors.

Recipe Swap

This is a recipe for my last swap of the year. This swap was called "Holiday Dinner". I will receive 4 other cards that will complete a Holiday Dinner. I pick the turkey category. I am excited with the way this 6x6 recipe cards turned out. I went to my friend Mindy's for a crop and she had this very cute Christmas paper. It worked out great. It is by Basic Gray. I like the little poinsettia flower with the pearl in it. I also added stickles to the little dots to the paper. You do no see it because I did that after I took the picture. I will take a picture of the complete set when I get them.

Cards and Ribbon

I have finally uploaded the projects I did at the Atlanta Scrapbook Expo in June. I had such a good time working on these cards. I don't LOVE doing Sympathy but I feel it means so much more to someone when it is homemade. I also made some cute get well cards. I was so excited when I found a booth at Expo that sold nothing but ribbon and took my cardstock to match. They worked really hard to help match colors and there prices where great. The recipe cards where something I had done a long time ago but need some cute ribbon and they had it. All in all I got a lot done and found a new place to get my ribbon.

Appetizers

I think this mini cookbook turned out really good. I had some left over paper from this paper collection so it worked out nicely to use for this project. Can't wait to get the other cookbooks and see what everyone else did.

Mini Cookbooks

I love swaps. I have done several and really enjoy them. The Mini Cookbook swap I did was a labor of love. They took some time to put together but really like the way they turned out. I signed up for 2 categories, appetizers and Halloween. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Trying very hard to put more than one picture up.

First post :-)

Yes I am going to do it, I am going to post something on my blog soon. I have had my blog for over a month but did not have really anything exciting to say so I am going to put up a couple of pictures of my scrapbook projects. Stay tune!!!!
