My Founder's Circle Swap

I am so lucky to be named in the top 100 demonstrators in the US last year!  I'm on a free trip from Stampin' Up! right now called Founder's Circle for the top 100 in the US and top 20 in Canada.  We get to come to St George, Utah and be pampered for a few days!  And, it's all thanks to YOU - my customers and my downline (demonstrators in my group)!!  So, THANKS!!

We have a card swap, and I made 110 of these!  This was also a card we made at the Holiday Extravaganza last week.


This card uses the new Peaceful Pines Stamp Set and Perfect Pines Framelits (they come in a bundle!).  It also uses the Boughs & Berries Embossing Folder, the Red Foil, the 1/4" Striped Ribbon (comes with Real Red and Garden Green), Winter Wonderland Embellishments, and the Christmas Greetings Thinlits.  The card swap is tonight - I'll get 110 new samples!! 

Have a great day!
