I have another batch of the swaps I received from others to share with you today:

Oops! I’ve just spotted that the rainbow card on the bottom row is upside down and I don’t have time to reshoot now – apologies.

So … what other news can I share with you from Telford?

Well, we had an auction of celebrity created cards recently to raise funds for Coram, the UK’s first-ever children’s charity and managed to raise over £8,000. One of the things I admire about Stampin’ Up! is their drive to give something back to the communities they operate in.

We saw the new In Colors that will replace the 2012-2014 set. There’s a gorgeous deep purple among them that I lurve 🙂 I’m not allowed to share them on my blog yet, but I will do as soon as I can.

We also got chance to play with a few new photopolymer stamp sets that will feature in the new catty in July … but then of course you have a chance to check out this new, totally clear style yourself by earning them for free with our offer this month (please note that the Sans & Stripes set has “sold” out).

I’ll be back with the final swaps tomorrow.
