Sorry! I’ve been slacking and not getting my posts out first thing in the morning! Check back tomorrow morning, though…I’ll have my Bloggers’ Challenge up.
I think it is safe to post my Control Freaks Catalog Preorder Swap…everyone should have received their swaps back by now. This was my contribution. I signed up for this set that demos could preorder from the new catalog. Then we I got it, I drew a blank on what to do with all the small pieces! After trying several different alternatives, I ended up with this one. I used three different colored Patterns Designer Paper…Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss…those colors looked like game pieces to me! I mounted them on Basic Black to make them pop! Then I stamped the images onto Glossy cardstock…I like using Glossy with solid images, it makes them appear nice and bold. Then I punched them with the 1 3/8 circle and layered onto the Scallop Circles. Game Night I punched with the Word Window and then layered onto the Small Oval punch, adding two mini brads on the side. I just knotted the ribbon instead of tying a bow. Once I came up with the design, it didn’t take me long to put them together…it was good TV time.

Connie — great use of this stamp set. I am in the same boat: love the stamps, not coming up with a great card, some CASEing might be in order!
VERY Eye catching! Great job Connie! I haven’t mounted my set yet but I understand what you’re saying about a lot of small piece..that can be challenging, but you did a great job the way you put it all together! TFS!
Connie, the swap was wonderful! Thanks so much!
