Gina’s Vintage Card
Here's another fabulous pink and brown card we made at the Team Swap last week. Gina created a great vintage Wedding or Anniversary card. She used the new Blushing Bride card stock and marker along with Crumb Cake card stock and ink.

Other supplies used:
Occasional Quotes stamp set, Elements of Style stamp set, Bitty buttons, Lattice die with the Big Shot, and the Pinking Hearts border punch. You can't see it in the picture but we also used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. It's sooo pretty!
Tracy’s Happiness card
Here is Tracy's pretty card she created for our Team Shoebox swap. I just love pink and brown together, don't you?

Tracy used the new Cute by the Inch Hostess Level 2 stamp set along with the classic yet amazing Heard from the Heart stamp. That greeting set definitely belongs in everyone's stamp collection!
Colors used are Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Early Espresso and Whisper White.
Cyndy’s Fast & Fabulous Swap
Here is the card Cyndy created for our Team Shoebox swap the other night. She used the Fast & Fabulous Level 2 Hostess stamp set along with the Occasional Quotes Level 3 Hostess stamp set. These are awesome sets you could earn this year just by hosting a fun workshop in your home (or mine)!

Elements of Style with Shimmer
Here is a card I created with the Elements of Style stamp set. I guess I'm in a Vintage and watercoloring phase right now. I seem to be drawn to this style a lot lately. It's so calming.
I particularly enjoyed using the new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder and the Smooch Illuminate Top coat. Can you see the glimmer here and there on the flowers? Sooooo simple and pretty! It dries quickly too.

Happy Halloween Girl
I made this card for my Team Shoebox swap last night. I just loved this new set (Greeting Card Kids) when I looked through the catalog the first time so I bought it straight away! The kids are just so cute. I can't wait to scrapbook the cute little school boy and girl.

Isn't she cute?
