Splitcoaststampers Swaps

I think thats a square punch in the center of the flower... ??? cute tho huh?

I'm back at least for awhile

I know I've been a little lax in posting... but being retired makes me a little lazy anyway,, at least more that usual.
  Been busy with gardening, and my granddaughters.  Molly is now 1 year old,, well, 14 months old.. and a real go getter... yep,, i'm the one that going to get her...she's walking and she's all over the place.. no fear...
  Also, I went on vacation to Massachusettes in July,,, for a week,, had a great time visiting my hubbys relatives.. shopping, whale watch, and relaxing...Here's the Mayflower II in Plymouth,MA. I did take a picture of Plymouth rock,, but its kinda small... close doesn't do it justice.

Anyway,,, heres my post for today,,,, i'm going to be adding some everyday,,, so be on the look out...



This is a swap from the Splitcoast Stampers event... must be an NVR.. cause i don't see anything SU on it..as for the crafter,, ??? thank you whom ever you are... its very nice in Black and White,,

I made this one for the event... i believe it was a shoebox... I love this set, too bad its retired.

I like the background on this... the butterfly is very pretty, the center piece and bow set it off nicely.

And another shoebox.  most of the pieces were already cut for us,, just had to stamp the spinner parts and the word..

This was my NVR (non vendor related) swap for the event.  I used the same stamp set for all 3 of my swaps.

Another shoebox project using the pinwheel stampset from STAMPIN'UP!..
Most of the projects were very simple and quick... some took a longer time.  I guess i like the idea of a shoebox project to be quick, simple, not a lot of pieces or construction to it.  Not that I'm in a hurry to finish, but I stamp and assemble pretty quick..and only because you are doing a sample card to give you an idea of the project so you can copy it in your own way.  Some of the project I didn't do, because they were too involved.. cute but took to long to finish.  I ended up waiting for others to finish.
