SHOEBOX SWAP

Yes!...you are seeing a post on my blog other than an iPICKS post! I've been a bad blogger, friends! But there's nothing like a day of stamping with good stamping friends to motivate me to share! On Saturday, Peggy Powers hosted a shoebox swap and luncheon in her home for Pam Wood and me. It was a fun, relaxing day with delicious food and creative holiday projects!

This Petal Cone Die Santa project was provided by our hostess, Peggy Powers ...
This next project is a Holiday Stocking Die gift certificate holder by Pam Wood. I love how she used Glossy White Paper for the stocking cuff, heel, and toe! ...
