This was one of the general swap cards that I made and once you've made up a batch of home made Shimmer Spray, it's really quite quick to do, but has a classy elegant look. To make the Shimmer Spray I filled a small spray bottle (mine was 50ml I think) about halfway...
It's a pic rich day today as I share the fantastic swaps I got back from the first card candy swap group. If you missed yesterday's post I shared the card candy that I made using the Easy Events set and these are the candies I got in return. From Carolyn Exwood, using...

Have I mentioned that I'm off to Disneyland Paris next week for our Stampin' Up! convention? Gosh I love this job! I'm busy at the moment with this stamp set, finishing off card candy swaps to take with me. One of the little critters sort of snuck over into my...
