Hi all! I went to a fabulous luncheon on Thursday, hosted by a new and dear friend, Donna Centamore. I met Donna about 2 years ago at another Stampin’ Up! function, hosted by Barbara Lash, who ALSO happened to be there this week! We had been communicating back and forth after becoming somewhat “blog buddies”, and I told her I wanted to be invited to her next luncheon! She was good for her word, and my invitation came a few weeks back. I needed to prepare a shoebox swap, so this is what I “swapped”:
It’s another side-step card, and I’ve fallen in love with this kind of card! So simple now that I know how to do it! I used the Curly Cute stamp set with the Field Flowers, and the background stamp is “one of the french ones!” (Shh, it might be retired!). The paper on the side, which you can barely see in my lighting, is one of the Soft Suede patterns from the Neutrals stack.
Here’s a view of our yummy lunch … before we all dug in!
