Yesterday I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Chicago (St. Charles) and met up with a few other Angels: Awna, Dawnmarie, Pat G, Meri, Nancy, Angel, and maybe even a few more. It was great seeing these gals again and getting to know them a little bit more.

I worked in the Tessler Stencils booth with Awna and her son Branden. They were wonderful. I liked helping the customers, answering questions, and making sales. The cash register was a little intimidating for me ... thankfully Branden did most of that ... it brought me back to high school days ringing up items at Crate & Barrel - very manual.

I swapped out cards made for the TAC new card swap on Stamp Shack. These were my cards. I used the Hoppy Everything set again and put foam under the frogs belly to make him look as if he's hopping off the card. I love this little guy!

I really really thought everyone in this swap did such a great job. They were all so well done!!

Earlier in the Week I made this card for one of my old swapping friends Tatoolesa (from PCMB) who recently has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a wonderful blog detailing her struggles and her progress.

I used my Marvy scallop punch along with TAC stamps: Hip Hardware, Little Tidbits, and Love and Joy. I love how it turned out! It also worked well this week for the Stamp Shack challenge of using only B&W and one other color (I choose pink - for breast cancer awareness)
