Our July weSTAMP Stampin' Up! demonstrator group meeting and swap was last night at Lorri Heiling's home. We threw a surprise baby shower for Melissa Sunde who is expecting her first baby in about three weeks. I'll be posting pictures from the baby shower/meeting and swap very soon!Our swap theme this month was inspiration from this sleeping bag from Pottery Barn Teen. My card uses my latest favorite stamp set, Awash with Flowers. I found inspiration from the colors in the sleeping bag - Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil Delight.RECIPE

I borrowed this stamp set, Awash with Flowers, from Lorri Heiling and used it to make my weSTAMP swap card which you'll see on Tuesday after our swap. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set, and it is on the top of my wish list! It is a 2-step stamp set, very easy to work with, and the images stamp nice and clean. It really makes whatever colors you are working with pop!I used it again to work with Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #127 in combination with some of the new In Colors of Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, and Lucky Limeade.RECIPE
