Another Got Cards project plus a few March swaps

So yesterday was our twice a month trip to Portland for shopping and lunch.  April is a huge birthday month in our family and since we will be gone for much of the month, I had to get the last of the birthday presents bought and Easter brunch shopping done.  We always make it a day in the big city to hit Costco, Cascade Station shopping area near the airport (my favorite) and lunch at one of Tom's favorite brew pubs.  This time it was BJs.

So I promised to share the great swap cards that my wonderful Aerubbecisor group created or cased this month on a spring theme.  Here are the first three that I received.

 Darlene Almer was our earlibird winner this month with her beautiful "Thinking of You" spring card from the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  She used the Irresistibly Yours  specialty Saleabration paper sponged in Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky.  The Silver Foil butterfly was a spectacular addition to her card.  Darlene is a demonstrator in Longview.

 Cheryl Wiggins from Sedro Woolley joined out swap for the first time.  She has been a demonstrator for more than fifteen years and I was thrilled that she decided to swap with us.  She used the same paper that Darlene used but sponged with Melon Mambo and a yellow color, probably Daffodil Delight.  She accented her card with the fun Hello You thinlits that are bundled with the Crazy About You set.

Wileen Carlton of Vancouver also used the Crazy About You stamp set for her words while adding Petite Petals for her spring look.  The Crazy About You set is a treasure trove of words for all occasions and so fun to couple with the Hello You thinlits.

My card today is from the Got Cards class last Saturday and is my take on a very cute graduation card.  I used the Celebrate Today stamp set which is perfect for all kinds of celebrations.  The inside uses the B.Y. O.P. stamp set which is perfect to couple with a gift card, money or a check.  I will be using this several times this year as I have several weddings, babies and graduations coming up in the next six months.

I have a few more days to post before we head out on our fun cruise from Tampa, Florida to Barcelona, Spain.  I am going to try and have a few things post while I am gone.  We did get a new Samsung Tablet and I'm going to see if I can post on it while I am gone also with pics of our adventures.  I have several of my stamping friends who are going to be house sitting and stamping while I am gone so if I need anything I can always check in with them.  We are very excited for this trip as it is a re-positioning cruise where the ship is moving from its winter home in the Caribbean to its summer home in the Mediterranean.  We get to stop at Key West, and then a week across the Atlantic to Madeira, Gibralter, Malaga and Barcelona, Spain.  Have a wonderful Easter weekend.  Hugs, Sherron
