Off to Convention in Salt Lake City!!

Hi there everyone, I'm very excited to be heading to Convention in Salt Lake City where I can give my undivided attention to my business.  I love meeting up with old friends and making new ones and being able to network and get lots of new ideas to incorporate in my business.  It is so nice to be taking a break from the whole moving thing.  Reality will hit me straight on when I get back on Sunday night, but until then I am going to enjoy myself and spend some time sharing with all of you!  I made a couple  of card swaps for Convention and I need to send a big thank you to Jenn B for helping me get them all stamped and assembled in time.  Here is one I would like to share with you today.

This card uses the For the Birds Stamp Set (126407 clear, 126405 wood) from the 2012-2013 Catalogue.  I used Gumball Green for my main card body and embossed it with the perfect polka dots embossing folder.  I layered strips of the new Be of Good Cheer Designer Paper (126896) onto very vanilla card stock and sponged the edges with crumb cake ink.  I mounted this onto the card front with dimensionals.  I stamped the bird image with Staz-on black in on a piece of very vanilla card stock and then cut it out using the Labels Collection Framelits (125598).  I coloured the birdy in with markers and a blender pen and sponged the label with crumb cake also.  I added the final touch of a little black bow made with the Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta ribbon (119261).  It is hard to image a Christmas Card already, but really it will be here sooner than we know it!  That's it for today... will be back tomorrow evening with a post from Salt Lake City!!  Have a great day!
