I received these lovely swaps from Montana yesterday.   Rhea Hughes  somehow works it into her busy schedule to organize a monthly for 10 of us and I am one of the lucky stampers in her group!

This is so pretty!  So Saffron card, then some Almost Amethyst run through the Texturz plate and Tea Party paper that ties it all together!

This is the greeny brown that is one of our new In Colors, Soft Suede.  Kind of reminds of Thyme that we had a few years ago.  (It might look more brown in person) She also used Rich Razzleberry inks and papers.  The stamp set is Friends 24/7

This stamp is from Very Versatile (retiring after June 30, 2009)  Going to miss the Kiwi and Baja Breeze when they officially retire in few days. sniff.

Mary used Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip with a touch of Bordering Blue.  The stamp set is Flower Fancy.  Isn’t the paper great?  It’s called Bella Birds and alas, will be retiring at the end of June.  I liked how she used a paper punch to punch out faux pink brads!

What sweet purse made from a Top Note Die! Oval All stamp set in Baja Blue.   Below is how it looks open to reveal a gift card.

Mellow Moss card stock is stamped with VersaMark and  Razzle Dazzle, a new stamp set.  I like the combo of Moss and our new Rich Razzleberry color.

Ok, how adorable is this card?!  The card was run through the sizzix with the scallop circle die.  Celery and Perfect Plum are perfect together and so are the Cheep Talk birdies with punched flowers!

This is a tall card, around 3-1/2″ x 6″.  I love cards that are different sizes!

Pretty In Pink card stock and Tea Party paper (yay! That one is in the new catalog again!)  I like the grommet detail with the cut flower in the middle.
