Convention Shoebox Swaps

A couple more Convention Shoebox Swaps!

Open Convention Swaps

I joined a 12x12 double page swap and used a lot of the lattice big shot die cuts.  I cut around 70 total. So I had to figure out a way to use up those little pieces from the diecut.  Here are a couple cards I came up with that I figure I will trade in the open swaps at convention.  Very simple and clean.

Recipe page swap for Convention

For the recipe page swap, we picked a category and made a 6x6 page. If you can believe it, I had to make 37 of these! I found the cows on Elaine's blog. She made a very cute get well card with the cows on it. Love it! You can go check out her card here: http://stampinreckon.blogspot.com/2010/05/get-well-card.html.

In with the New Swap - new products #2

This one is from the Build a monster set in the new catalogue. It was a lot more challenging to say the least. I think I redid it at least 10 times before I came up with this one. Still not completely happy with it, but it is a fun card. If you have any ideas, please share them with me.

In with the New Swap - new products

This card is for the In with the new swap I joined at convention. It had to be a non preview stamp set from the new catalogue. I picked the Wicked cool set. I also used some of the new Halloween DSP. This was the first time I experimented with making a square from the scalloped border punch. The points on the edge was one of my goofs, but I loved the way it turned out and decided to use it instead of the complete scalloped edge. Gave it a nice Halloween look!

Convention Curtain Call Swap

This is my card for the Convention Curtain Call Swap. We had to use Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, and Baja Breeze.
