Shoebox Swap Card

This is the card I made for the Shoebox Swap in South Milwaukee this Saturday.  We make 22 pre-made cards that are distributed to half of the attendees and then we make 20 card kits.  Those are made by the other half of the ladies that day.  So—we will have 40 new cards from the swap (the other 2 are for the organizers of the swap in case you were checking my math).  There are two optional swaps—one is any occasion and I posted that card earlier this week and the other is Christmas—which will be posted next week.

The DSP on this card along with the pleated ribbon were recent purchases from the Stampin’ Up Clearance Rack—I loved both the ribbon and paper when it was regular price, so I stocked up on a few of each for the awesome sale price!

I look forward to this day for a long time—it is great to see swappers who I only get to chat with at this as well as get some great ideas.  Carrie Ann does an outstanding job coordinating the day and we all walk out with great cards, sweet door prizes, maybe a raffle prizes and good friendships.  Hopefully I will walk out with less items than I came in with as there is also a small rummage as a part of it—and I am taking about 15 items that I hope find a new home!
