Birthday Blitz, swaps and more samples

Today was my twice a year Birthday Blitz class.  Even though a couple of people cancelled because of our awesome sunshiny weather, there was a good turnout and some zany people had a crazy time with the projects.  It is always so fun to listen to the conversation and the laughter.

These were the eight cards that everyone had the opportunity to make as many of each as they wanted.  I'll post close up pics with the ingredients next week.

Here is the fourth of the Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch cards that I cased from Tami White.  I love the way the water looks after using aqua painters and ink refills.

Stamps

Moon Lake, Butterfly Basics

Paper

Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy, Naturals White, Watercolor Paper

Ink

Jet Black Stazon, Crumb Cake refill, Pear Pizzazz refill, Night of Navy refill, Marina Mist refill, Soft Sky refill, Pear Pizzazz Blendabilities

There have been so many backorders because of the Longshoreman, West Coast Shipper dispute as well as some quality concerns about the Blendabilities that they are not being sold at the present time so I could not link the Blendabilities at the present time.  Stay tuned for updates as these issues are resolved.

I was able to finally catch up on my Swap of the Month group.  We were given the themes last year, but I have been so busy with classes, workshops and stamp clubs that my other stamping activities have suffered.  I finally caught up on  January and February this weekend so here is my January project.  The theme was Anniversary in silver or gold and I loved playing with the theme.
