Hi!
Welcome back friends and fellow stamping enthusiasts!
I've been busy stamping and unfortunately there a couple things I can't show you just yet - as they are for our upcoming SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER annual all day stamping event! So those of you that live in the Phoenix East Valley area, please email me << inkinallnight@cox.net >> if you are interested in a fun filled stamping day! We have limited seating and are already 70% full! The date is Saturday, September 18th from 9a - 4p and is open to demonstrators and guests, available to any skill level! I met with my girls Diana and Marlene on Monday and all I can tell you is WOWZA, we each worked on designs and we were each like Oh, then the next one AH, and then WOW, and we can hardly wait to show them to you BUT we don't want to spoil the surprise for those that are attending! I promise you will see everything after the event!
I also stamped and created my swap card for a Holiday Mini Catalog swap that I joined ... but I failed to take a picture of my swap card before I sent it off. So I'll just have to show you that card in a week or so when I get them back! sorry!
I also spent a day crafting with my good friend Mary's daughter (my daughter #3 as we call her) as she is getting ready to head off to NAU for college and she wanted to have some personalized items to decorate her dorm room. We made a custom bulletin board and coordinating file folders and stuff to go with the colors of her new bedding. I can hardly believe she is in college ... but as she is daughter #3, lucky for me I don't have to pay for her tuition since she's really only mine in our hearts! And par for the week, NOPE I totally forgot to take a picture of her stuff either!
And my dear friend Debbie (hey there!!) came over Friday morning and we were going to stamp together since she is finally retired from the schools now! We've been "gonna stamp" for years ... yeah right! Well she came over and we got her going on her swap card (for the swap I'm hosting) but I didn't seem to be too productive that morning. But I did play with an idea for my bonus card --- but scratched that idea in the end and then started playing with ideas for my upcoming TEAM Shoe Box Swap that's in a week but didn't get it quite finished just yet. You'll see it sometime soon though!!
But I can show you what I have been working on today! I host a Mini Catalog Swap for my "INKin' All Night!" demonstrator team and my "Adopted INKers" demonstrator team and each time I offer a BONUS CARD for those that join that get their swap cards in a week before the due date! So those that get their cards to my little o house (in the desert) by tonight will recieve this card from me!
Supplies:
new HOLIDAY MINI stamp set: Frech Foliage & Falling Leaves from the main IB&C for the greeting
inks are: Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Marina Mist (color combo from the new Color Coach)
Direct to Paper & Collage Style Stamping on the main card panel which is Very Vanilla
Wheeling (leaves w/ the Texture Jumbo Wheel) and die cut with Big Shot and Leaves #2 die
Texturz Plate on the Top Espresso Panel and the flip side of the plate on the Cajun Leaves

And here are a couple of other shots for you ... just playing around to see if you can see the detail in the leaves with the close up shot ...
and trying to get a shot of the build a brad which seem to get over looked too often!
Anyhow!! Hope you enjoy the swap card and have a great day stamping!
Hugs,
Rhonda
