An Extremely Busy Day!

It has been a whirlwind of activity here in my humble abode.  With the Holiday Bazaar tomorrow, I've been finishing up projects and making lists and hoping I don't forget anything tomorrow.  I guess that will remain to be seen.

I've not had a chance to create today so I'm sharing a card I made a couple of months ago.  I used it for a swap last night at a monthly meeting of local Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators.  I think I shared about it in my last post.  It is one of the first Christmas cards I made when the new Idea Book & Catalog came out in July.

Stamp Set:  Easy Events; Inks:  StazOn Black, Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write Marker, Real Red; Card Stock:  Old Olive, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper; Accessories:  Decorative Label Punch, 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Starburst Jumbo Wheel

This is the end of today's post as I still have many things to do before I can get a few minutes of sleep.  Don't forget to order your two Simply Sent kits and receive a free stamp set.  I've seen some lovely cards made with these kits.  The offer ends on Monday, October 31st.

My Llama Swap Card

As promised, I have finally gotten pictures taken of the Llama Swap Cards.  This is the second swap we have done and each one is better than the last.  It's fun to see what others create.  This is the one I did for the swap.

Stamp Sets:  Paisley Petals, Easy Events; Inks:  Cherry Cobbler, Perfect Plum Stampin' Write Marker, Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Marker, Marina Mist Stampin' Write Marker, Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Marker, StazOn Jet Black; Card Stock:  River Rock, Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White; Accessories:  Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Decorative Label Punch

It was an experiment in color.  I used colors I had not previously thought of putting together.  I really like the way it looks.

Over the next few days, I'll be showcasing the other cards I received.  Just click the following link, Here A Llama, There A Llama, and you'll be able to find them on my very special Llama blog.  One of the upcoming events is our very first Do The Llama Blog Hop.  I'll keep you posted.

Don't forget to check the schedule for events happening at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe.  Just click on the Cafe Events 2011 tab for a complete list.
