Last minute errands!!

Hi!!  I am leaving for convention tomorrow, so today I am running a million errands!!  Gotta make sure my boys are all set up while I'm gone!!  Plus, I need to get a pedicure!! haha!!

Before I go, here are my swaps!!!  I made 75 of these, in different colors!

I used the Friends Never Fade Stamp set along with the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack!  There is Dazzling Diamonds Glitter in the center of the flower, and the ribbon is White Satin.  They are simple, but I love them!  They turned out very nice, I think!!

Here's an up-close of the So Saffron sample:

 

Have a great week, and check back each day--I have fun stuff scheduled all week!!

Hugs,

3rd Christmas Card in July!
