I very rarely swap at events because I find the task of reproducing the same card over and over again very daunting. Nonetheless, since I had a week off of work before heading out to Nashville, I did prepare a small stack of swap cards (24) to bring with me.
I used a new Valentine set from the Occasions mini called Love by Definition. I thought it was such a cute set and I hadn't purchased a Valentine set for quite a while, so I was psyched to see it had been translated to French.
Another element from the mini featured on my card is the First Edition designer paper. Isn't it cool? You get this big pack of dictionary paper, which is totally in right now, and will match any project you make, so it's a good staple to have on hand. I've been using it quite a bit on my projects lately, so get prepared to see it pop up often.
Oh, and see that sparkly heart above the flamingos? It was punched out of our new Glimmer paper, also sold in the Occasions mini. I love it even more than I expected! You get the look of glitter without the annoying glitter stuck to your face, clothes and everywhere else. L-O-V-E it!
