Stampin’ Up! Fresh Swaps with Feeling Sentimental!

I just received my monthly swap in the mail yesterday! Yay! I showed you my swap for this month here.

I'm going to show you just a couple of the ones I received for today, done with the Sale-a-bration set, Feeling Sentimental. They are exceptionally well done!

Katy Simecka paired the same vintage trike with Fan Fair Designer Paper, First Edition Specialty Paper, and Naturals Designer Buttons!

I can't let you go today without sharing an update on my little grandson, Liam! Liam is rolling, rolling, rolling all around the living room these days! My oldest son, Troy, was  a roller, too, so Liam is bringing back fond memories for me! Liam tends to take a toy with him as he rolls, sometimes he even takes a wooden yardstick with him (I will definitely have to get a picture of that!)

Today Liam was rolling with his xylophone accompanying him:

Liam the roller

I swear I didn't do a thing to stage this photo.This is all Liam! LOVE getting to spend a couple of days each week with him! I consider my self so blessed to be his grammie!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Leadership Swaps-Feeling Sentimental!

Since I've been spending more time than normal on the road to doctor appointments, I've been going through more of my Leadership swap pictures and have been finding more that needed to be shared with you! Today's samples are with the Sale-a-bration set, Feeling Sentimental:

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration has begun! How will you Sale-a-brate?

This posting is late today, I know, but it is still on time since it is still Sunday!

Before I show you my creation for today, how about a little picture of me and my sister?

Sissies

Last Sunday afternoon my hubby & I traveled north about 2 1/2 hours to the city of my birth, Decatur, Illinois to attend a retirement party for my sister, Connie. Connie worked as a Respiratory Therapist for many years (over 30!). Her husband retired a couple of years ago, and now she has joined those ranks too!

Some say Connie looks like our dad and I look like our mom. I just know she was my favorite person growing up and is right up there on my favorites list now! I love you, sis!

Now on to today's card:

Tea for two recycle
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This card's focal point is actually what would usually be considered the discard piece from yesterday's card. Remember the "quilted heart" from the center? This is the pieceit was cut out of, mounted on Chocolate Chip, then a heart from Hearts A Flutter stamped in Calypso Coral and a tiny little motif from the Sale-a-bration set, Madison Avenue,  stamped in Pool Party. The "LOVE YOU" is from Itty Bitty Banners cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

I have a confession to make: the base of this card was begun waaaaaay back in October of 2011! I was prepping swaps for the Louisville Regional that year and I ran out of time before I was able to complete them, so into storage they went, and were promptly forgotten! Leadership 2012, then Convention 2012 came and went, and these bases, Houndstooth-embossed Pool Party on Chocolate Chip, continued to languish, destined to oblivion once Pool Party retired in May of 2013. But lucky for them, while I was preparing the room where they were stored for Christmas family guests, they were unearthed (YOU don't have anything like that wasting away in YOUR craft or spare bedroom, do YOU?!)

So a discarded-but-now-repurposed focal point meets almost-forgotten card base. What do you think? I liked it once I completed it and it turns out I got lots of nice compliments on it when I swapped it in Orlando.

Thats all for today. It's a gloomy, cold, rainy & almost icy day here, but until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
