HAPPY MONDAY

Thanks for stopping by today.  Well I had a great weekend this weekend in NC.  I got to meet up with some friends from SCS for the 3rd annual HPC Convention.  I am so glad that I can say this was my 2nd year.  We had so much fun shopping and creating.  Who could ask for me than good friends, good food, great laughs, and a wonderful Shoebox Swap!

We had some great projects to do during the swap so I thought I would share my card that I made fro the swap.

Shoebox Swap 10

I used PTI for the card bases and then Paper Studio for the designer paper and Crafty Kimmie is the image.  I just love her.
