Our August 1st Card Swap + Swap Hostess Benefits

There is still time to join in. There is one more spot left. It is still 1 week away till August 1st. This is a sample of the card I am doing for the August card swap. I've used the new Stampin Up In Colors and the new Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. A little ribbon (NVR) and the Faux Diamonds technique on the cut out heartsWe did this technique for our July class. This stamps set is the "always" set in the catalog on page 57 in the current catalog. The CS (cardstock) I used was Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette (just a sneak peak of the new incolors).

For anyone interested in joining up for our 9/15/08 card swap. I will have the directions posted soon. I'd like to first see if anyone is interested in hosting the late summer swap. Please email me and let me know. We also have the 11/1/08 swap as well. So it will be first email, first hostess. Second email, second hostess. I'm also posting this on our Yahoo group, just incase anyone there may want to join in on the fun.

Being a Hostess:
Being a hostess only means that you decide the card swap, you decide the theme, you decide the papers, embellishments. Just send me your specifications and I'll get the swap posted (so all can participate...let's make it NVR). You will receive all the swaps and you will sort and return all the swaps. Being hostess that is where you see (+1) in the Quantity) you will receive the extra card from everyone as a "thank you" for hostessing. I also try to send the hostess a little "gift", like a few embellishments (let's say...5 eyelets, some pieces of ribbon, etc.) It keep the fun going and the work the hostess is doing get recognized.

OK...thats all for now.
