Leadership 08 Highlights: The swapping!



Basically this is where you brought all the supplies to let 24 people make your card, and you had 24 cardfronts already ready to swap. That way, 1/2 the room MAKES your card that night, and the other 24 get the card pre-done, while you go and make 24 cards and get 24 made. Sound complicated? Kind of, but the reality works great and by the end of the night you get 48 cardfronts (having made 24 yourself). Still with me? LOL! Sherrie Robinson organized it and she did a FABulous job -- I had a real blast.

For instance, here are the 24 little 3x3 card boxes I made for one such swap, and here I am in line swapping them!

And then there's just the madness of free-style swapping... that which happens whenever you get 3 or more stampers congregating together (and it even occurs in airports, let me tell you). This is WAY fun, and kind of frenzied, since you always find just one more person you NEED to swap with, and you inevitably run-out JUST when there's some fabulous card you need to have. That's when your handy camera comes into play, and you can take pictures of people with their swaps!

And I love nugget boxes SO much, I'm going to include one in my "Love Potion #9" Valentine's Day stamp camp in February, too. Maybe we could make it out of the new "Berry Bliss" Designer paper, with a tag made from the "Happy Heart Day" set that's on sale right now? Something to think about! Mmmmm.... chocolate.

Tomorrow's post will concentrate on some of the great cards & projects that I saw on the display boards, so let me know you stopped by and I hope to see you here again soon!
HAPPY STAMPING!
