Shoebox Swap

Three of my local team members were able to come over this past week for a Shoebox Swap! I learned about shoebox swaps several years ago at a World Card Making Day event that preceded the annual convention. It’s a fun way to spend a crafty day together! We each brought our card to the table and had prepared kits for each of the others to make the card. I loved seeing the creativity of my team members! I thought it would be fun to share them with you!

The first one we made was Shila’s ~

Shila brought the Beautiful Balloons Bundle with Bright & Beautiful DSP for her festive card.

The next one was Beth’s ~

Beth paired Fresh As A Daisy with Bright & Beautiful DSP for her pretty card.

Then we made mine ~

Mine was made from the Earthen Textures Bundle and Earthen Elegance DSP.

And we finished it off with Nancy’s ~

Nancy used the Dainty Delight stamps and dies for her lovely card.

Aren’t they all great? We had a fun afternoon. If you are looking for a fun event to hold, try a Shoebox Swap. We thought it was funny that everyone (except mine) was pink! Perhaps the Barbie movie had some influence? We do have a lot of pretty pink shades right now.

Have a great weekend!
