Halloween Garland Detail

Here are some close-ups of the Halloween garland panels. I think this is my favorite garland I've created to date. I think I'll also do an Autumn one, using the Autumn Vine DSP and Season of Friendship stamp set.

First, however, I need to get working on my Simply Scrappin' Kit swap for our stampin' team. We all chose a SS kit and are creating 15 cards with it, then swapping with fellow team members. The 15 cards have to use just the textured cardstock that comes in the kit, plus any embellishments we want to add, including ribbons and brads. An expensive swap this time, but I'm hoping it will lead to a few sales or at least a stamp camp or two. I designed the first five cards while hanging out with my dear hubby at our local coffee shop on Friday afternoon/evening, but I need to add a couple of embellishments and greetings to them (didn't bring any punches with me to the coffee shop). Then to come up with another 10 designs to use up the majority of the stickers and cardstock that comes with the kit. Next, the real fun starts - cutting up kits for each of our swappers, and we have a big group participating (10 or so). I have until the end of the month to get it all done, but I don't want to wait until the night before, trying to get it all together.

I have tomorrow off (yay!) so while the girls are at school, I think I'll work on a few of the swap cards (and maybe the Autumn garland)! Have a terrific week!
