SSUS 3-D & Card Convention Swaps

As you are reading this I am on my way home from Stampin' Up!'s Convention. Boy this Convention was one of the best!!! I had a great time and learned alot that I can't wait to try in my own business when I return home. But for now lets get to the projects you came here to see.

This is a mini Scrapbook I made out of one 12x12 for an organized swap with the Yahoo Group I belong to called SSUS. This group is by invention only and the letters stand for Sensational Stampin' Up! Swappers. There is alot of great talent on this group and I can't wait to share with you all the goodies I got in return!!!

My mini Scrapbook was done using my picture tutorial dated 7-29-08. These albums are sooooo much fun to make and decorate. This one uses Bashful Blue Patterns DSP, Bashful Blue Cardstock, Photo Corner Punch, Bashful Blue Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Square Rhinestone Brads, the stamp set called Celebrate Everything and my Big Shot with the Simple Letters Alphabet Bigz Dies. I also copied and printed out the Stampin' Up! theme for Convention and put it on these albums. This mini Scrapbook is for them to use for some of their Convention pictures.




And this is the card I did for the SSUS Card Swap we had at Convention. We were to do two cards for our swap. I am only showing you this one because the other card I did for this swap I have already posted HERE. Two totally different cards don't you think??LOL!!!

This card uses a stamp set out of the Spanish Stampin' Up! Catalog called Quinceañera. I just loved this image of this girl so much I just had to have the stamp set!!! I also used the Thoroughly Modern DSP, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay & Rose Red Cardstock, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Bermuda Bay Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, another stamp set called Princess Time and my Big Shot with the Circles #2 Original Die and the Stampin' Up! Flower Folds Bigz xl Die.

Is this card not the cutest thing ever???

Well now that you have read all the way to the bottom of my long blog post I am probably now home from Convention!!!LOL!!! Anyway thanks for reading along all week at my posts about Convention. I will have another item to show you all tomorrow when I announce the winner of my Blog Candy.
Have a great day!!!
