Printer FIxed and 1st Convention Swap



YAY! my printer is back....it didn't get fixed but we got a new one and an upgrade because ours couldn't be fixed.

Here is my first swap card for convention.....I am writing this at 1:08 a.m. the morning I leave for convention. Our plane leaves from Minneapolis at 2:35 p.m. I am soooooooooo excited I can't even tell you! This will be my first convention...




The Recipe:


Stamp Set: Fundamental Phrases, So Swirly Jumbo Wheel


Ink: Real Red, VersaMark


Paper: Night Of Navy, Whisper White, Real Red


Accessories: Silver EP, Iridescent Ice EP,

The night of navy that looks like the first layer is actually only there to show the edges of the card otherwise it got lost in the white background. The swap is actually white on the bottom layer. I will have to say I do like it with the N-O-N in the background as well.

Broken Printer/scanner

Okay so, the title should say it all....we have a multi-function printer/scanner/copier/fax and the LED screen went out last week. Which means, that I can't upload anything to my computer. Which in turn means, I can't post any new cards until I can scan and upload. I will be back as soon as I can. The guys at Geek Squad had to send it in to HP so it may take a little while.

I hope you all enjoyed your 4th! I know we did! We went to Canterbury Park to watch the horse races and then they have a phenomenal fireworks display. That was actually on the 3rd and we then watched our cities fireworks from our front lawn on teh 4th. My parents came into town and we had a wonderful time.

Happy Stampin'
