April's Mother's Day & Baby Card Swap

I was/am so bummed I missed the swap. I really wanted to be there, but I had done something to my back. I was even home that day off of work because my back was so sore. HAHAHAH... it was like seeing a turtle on it's back, when I tried to get out of bed! HAHAHAH!!! Now that you have a nice image of that... ONTO THE CARDS!!!

Shawna... thank you so much for bringing me the cards from everyone. They are really terrific, (as usual).

This cutie patootie is Rachel's card;

This is Carly's card. Can you believe she is 12 years old and did this all on her own? I was with her when she came up with this whole thing by herself. Her mom and I even tried talking her into other things and she wouldn't have it. She did a really great job!

Debbie T.'s.. one of them. She had 2 stampers accompany her... but she didn't tell me their name, so this is called Debbie T. 1;

Debbie T. 2;

Debbie T.3;

Donna's... sooooo cute. I heard she did blue ones and pink ones so stampers had their choice;

Lynn He's... Surprising, there were only 2 Mother's Day cards in the whole bunch!

Shawna's adorable card;

I call their cards greativity! Because they all had some great creativity!!!

4-5-10 IWIA Stampers Meeting

We can tell spring is in the air... not many made it to the meeting. But those who did, had a great time stamping, chatting and just being together!

Here is Rachel on the left and Mary Ham checking out what she is making, her squash books. In the back, you can see Brenda talking to Shawna and Carly. I love seeing the fellowship and friendships being made. And sharing ideas!!!
Here is Alice hard at work;

Linda made this card. This is from http://www.raisinboat.com You can 'rent' stamp sets like you can video's from Netflix! Yeah... rent stamp sets!!! They are terrific!

Our first sketch challenge, and only two cards were made. This is Rachel's card;

And this is April's card.

Both ladies did a fabulous job!!! Very impressed!!!

April was working on this baby card;
