Drumroll please...

I did it! I finished my swaps!

So if you're in Melissa Keown's swap and you want to be surprised when your swaps arrive next week - don't look to the right. For anyone else who wants to look - go ahead!

While the gas guy was here this morning I surfed the internet and scanned some magazines and found a layout and idea that I liked.

So I CASEd it. CASE means Copy And Steal Everything which sounds worse that it really is. Lots of cardmakers do it and I think that's why a lot of us post our creations so that others can CASE the ideas as well. Don't get me wrong it can get UGLY! Blatant CASES should not be submitted to magazines or to Stampin' Up! for Stampers Showcase. This is just wrong!

Anyway back to my card. It's a combination of cards that I found while "researching". The criteria for the swap was that it had to be a large format card - in this case 6x6. Other than that anything goes - except that the "ingredients" had to be current Stampin' Up! materials only.

What do you think? I know it's kind of simple - but that's where my head is at these days.
