I went to a wonderful Shoebox Swap today! The hostess was my new stamping friend, Kristen, who lives like 10 minutes from me! I am so excited to have someone to share with so close! It was so great to be around other crazy stamping ladies like me! *wink* This is the card that I designed for it, but I can not take full credit for the design. The only thing that was out of my own mind was the colors. The layout was one that I saw at a previous shoebox swap that I was in (I'm sorry that I can't remember your name to give you full credit, but if you're looking at this, please email me and I will!), but I believe that Michelle Wooderson originated the "Tent Topper" idea. Her blog can be seen over to the left, it is called "Mish Mash." The scalloped strip was made with the slit punch and I believe Julia Stainton came up with that idea. There is a tutorial on her blog here. Also, I'm not sure if you can see it, but the littlest flower from Baroque Motifs are peeking out from the strip of Elegant Eggplant. That idea came from "LindaKeal" over at Splitcoast. So, yeah, this card is a total CASE (Copy and Share Everything) from several different cards, but hey, isn't that what sharing is all about - inspiring others?
