Fun with Swaps!

Happy Wednesday Friends!
It always feels good to reach that half way point in a week. I had the front end of my week loaded up and the last half is smooth sailing!  That means extra time for doing what I love to do - STAMP!  It also means I may get some other things done, but we'll see.

Have you ever heard of a swap in your crafting experience?  A swap can be voluntary, unorganized, highly organized and specific, etc. It's when every one in a group makes something to swap with the other people in the group who also make something to swap. It's a great way to get new ideas, use up some leftover embellishments or card stock and try your hand at something you've wanted to try for awhile now.

Recently, my local stamp group ( my downline of SU demonstrators) and I, known as "Big Sky Stampers", got together for a team meeting and brunch. We always include a swap because we are crazy about stamping and love to make things for every one!  I wanted to share my bounty!  Here are some of the wonderful swaps I ended up with.





The rules are fairly simple... make what you want and bring it. We tend towards cards, 3D treat holders and decor. As you can see, we all had some great ideas and it was fun to swap.  It's amazing how creative and different we are but we are similar in our love of rubber stamping. Stamping is what brought us together as crafters but now the love and affection keeps us together as friends. I'm so thankful to all of them as they inspire me and each other.

Want to be part of our stamping group?  I'll let you know how that can be done if you contact me!  We are always open to expanding our circle to others who love to stamp!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Sarah
