Summerween Swap Hop !

Hi Everyone,
You should have came here from Dianna's Blog and as always you should have started at Betty's Blog .  With a group like this you won't want to miss any of the blogs along the way.  My partner for this swap was Summer Hills-Painter ( I LOVE her name).  She made the most incredible box, filled to the rim with tons of goodies for me.  Check it out!!

 The Fabulous box, with easel card on top.

 I don't know how she fit so many great things inside because this baby was PACKED!

See?! I told you ~ a ton of goodies to play with and as an added bonus she sent me the directions so I can make more! Well, a friend of mine is going to teach us to make more.  Summer is teaching this as a class down by her too. Now you get to check out her BLOG.
Happy Hopping,
Mel

Battle of the Skater Chics!

Simply Betty Stamps and the Stamping Chef were both wonderful enough to each offer a FABULOUS FREE DIGI on the condition that you had to use it.  Betty had color requirements ~ Black, Lime Green and Hot Pink, while the Stamping Chef had a Recipe, 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 background papers.  So here are my creations for the challenge:

Ribbon, Fiber and Trim Swap (SBS)

My partner for this Swap was Trish the Dish and she REALLY spoiled me!!! The blue and pink box shown was stuffed to the brim with goodies! Tons of brilliant ribbons, a wonderful card and chocolate that I had to hide from Isabelle.  What more could a girl ask for?  Thanks so much Trish for another GREAT Swap.  For those of you not familiar there is a group of us on Facebook that like to spice up each other's creative lives.  The group is Simply Betty Fan group.  We have challenges and swaps all the time to inspire each other.  The next stop on this hop is  Sherri we all hope you enjoy seeing the wonderful goodies everyone exchanged on this swap!  Thanks again Trish :)

Summer Fairy

Hi everyone! I have been "shipwrecked" on Paper Craft Island, completing projects in an attempt to be the "Sole Survivor".  Sadly I did not win the title but we were all considered winners because the vote was so close.  This is one of my projects submitted in the finals. 

You can find this Digi at Simply Betty Stamps.  She is our image for the Fan challenge on facebook.  If you would like to join us in these challenges and lots of other stamping fun just join her group.  It is pretty easy to follow along and join in.  Hope to see you there!
Big Hugs!
