A Christmas in August

Once a month, on the first Sunday of the month, the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers gather together for our Shoebox Card swap.

What is a Shoebox Swap? In our swap, the coordinator, me, picks the theme and each participant designs a project within the parameters and creates card kits for the number of confirmed attendees. All the kit parts and pieces are placed in a "shoebox" and passed around til everyone creates the card. At the end of the day, you leave the event with several ideas.

So this month, our theme was "Christmas in August" and our projects had to include ribbon. There were seven (7) of us. Take a look and see what the crew crested. I'm always amazed at the talent of the ladies I stamp with.

(Note: our group consists of Stampin' Up! and non-Stampin' Up! demonstrators. We set no limitations on brands that can be used or whether current or retired products are used), but the majority of us are either demonstrators or current Stampin' Up! customers. I hope you enjoy their creativity. If you do, please leave a comment and let them know.
