"Miss" April Swap - Thoughts and Prayers

The samples with Thoughts and Prayers are so lovely. Like I said though, I wasn't disappointed with a single card in the whole swap. You can view all the gorgeous cards using this set in the "Miss" April 09 Photo Album.

It looks like we just need a few more people for this month's swap. Would you like to be able to add 7 new samples to showcase the versatility of Stampin' Up!'s amazing stamp sets? Then this is definitely the swap for you. If you are not a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - think about what a lovely gift you would have with a nice set of coordinating greeting cards.

Sign Up now!

This says it all

I can tell you all how pleased I was with this swap until I'm blue, but when I received this email from one of the swappers yesterday, I knew I wasn't the only one. I have heard from others in the swap how much they enjoyed the swap, how much they loved their cards but this was put so eloquently I thought it would be perfect to share.

Hi Ladies,

I just had to write to let you know that this IS the absolute best swap I have ever been in. I have been a demonstrator for almost 13 years now and have been in many, many swaps but I have never, ever received such perfect, beautiful, incredible cards as I have with this swap. You ladies have outdone yourselves and I sincerely appreciate all of your hard work. I only hope my swap was up to your standards.

Thank you and if you ever want to swap with me again I would be honored

You can see this swappers group of cards in the album HERE starting today.

Please scroll through all of them. They are listed by swapers name.

 

I would love to have any of you other talented stampers join in this month's swap. To sign up, just leave a comment on this post HERE

 

"MISS" Swaps for April - Want to see?

I have to show these off. I am so stinkin' happy with the variety and quality of swaps in our first round. Here is just a little sample:

 

Click on the photo above to see all of the amazing CRAZY FOR CUPCAKES samples. I will be adding one set a day to the New Photo Album - MISS April '09, so you'll want to make sure that you check back over the next few days to see what's been added. I have a feeling, once you all see some of these amazing swaps, the spots for next month's are going to fill up fast!

Monthly Inspiration Set Sampler Swap - Sign Up Now!

***Edited to add some answers to some questions that I have received. Hopefully it's a little more clear!**

I know that a lot of Demonstrators love having samples from every stamp set we have, and I know that stamping "customers" (I don't like that word...as you are so much more) like that too. HOWEVER, I am one that would prefer to have more samples from the stamp sets that I own and demonstrate, to truly show the versatility and really launch my creative process.

This is our second month, and let me tell you - the first month provided some AMAZING swaps! This swap will be open to everyone, not just Demonstrators, I only ask that ALL supplies are current Stampin' Up! (with the exception of things like staples, paper clips, etc...). This will be a "best quality" , so you'll want to do your best work...Fancy isn't required, but neat is!

This stamp set needs to be the "main" image on the card, you can still use backgrounds and sentiments.

Sign ups will end on the 5th of the following month, and all cards will be mailed to me by the 15th.

I will then mail you your cards.

This will be a +1, full card swap, so for each swap you will make 8 FULL cards (not fronts) - keep one for yourself then you will get 6 more back, giving you a total of 7 samples. One stays with me for organizing. Sound fun?

Full instructions will be mailed to all participants on or before the 5th.

Sign up for what you would like in the comments section. You may sign up for more than one set if you'd like.

To My First "Monthly Set Sampler" Swappers

 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my very first time hostessing an on line swap such a wonderful experience. I have to say that there are some GORGEOUS cards. I will be posting photos of all of them soon (once I know you have them, so I won't ruin your surprise). I hope you are as pleased with them as I am. I've learned along the way, had some great advice and I am so lookking forward to next month's.

 For those of you that wanted to participate and found out too late - remember to check back here on the 25th to see the list for next month. Due to the success of this month's, I have added an additional stamp set and a spot for one more person per set.

Here's a quick Question for you (EVERYONE!!!!!) I'm thinking about naming the swap officially:

"Monthly Inspiration Set Sampler" So it would be "MISS" Swappers. (Miss as in young lady - NOT like "miss"ing out) What do y'all think? I'm also open to other suggestions.....

So much to stamp, so little time

I have actually been working my tail end off! In the past week, I have:

cleaned out our garage,

held my Petal Party classes

"taught/assisted" a private 1 on 1 stamping session for a new card maker to make her 80 swap cards.

removed my old yucky inefficient shelves in my laundry room and planned and installed a full new shelving system (by myself thank you very much),

Taught myself how to do this whole blog design thing,

Finished up 80 swap cards (well, I still have a little left to do)

Planned my Stamping classes through June, composed and sent out my newsletter for them

Received and organized the "Monthly Set Sampler Swap" cards coming in.

Made my swap cards for the "MSSS"

Planned and prepped for my Stamp Time Somewhere Club tomorrow night...

of course that's in addition to all the joys, perils and challenges that the boys present me with daily. I am very happy that my husband's shift has now changed and in just three days, I feel like I've regained my life!

I should have some great Stampin' Up! card samples up for you soon, including the cards from the first "MSSS", the cards and projects from tomorrow night's club...and a few more randoms along the way!

Have fun, until next time, remember

It's always Stamp Time Somewhere!
