Stamporee continued!  This is an annual event, usually the last Saturday of January, so make plans to attend next year - 2014!

Patty and Susan

RoseMary and Lesia

A couple more swaps:

This swap was from Susan Hill.

This swap was from Felicia Hartsfield.  The theme of the swap was birthday cards - can you tell?

Here are a few more of the 16 cards we made at Stamporee:

I think I posted this as a sneak peek earlier in the month, but I just love this one!  

This card was based off another card  I had seen by Vicki Burdick.  I changed the colors, ribbon, etc. but I just loved the layout with the Poppy stamp.  

One of the best things about this Poppy stamp is there is a break in the image, so with a clear mount stamp, you can cut  the stamp in two at that break, then you have a smaller and a larger set of poppies.  Just stick them back side by side on your clear block for the full look of the stamp - 3 in1!!!!

I think this was also a preview, but I really loved these flowers I dyed from the new Flower Trim.  The die cut circle is from the Perfect Pennants Die.   

This sympathy card uses Blooming with Kindness stamp set (flower) and the Delicate Designs Embossing Folders. 

I highlighted the Rich Razzleberry flower with a River Rock markers (the base color of the card), then used a little Dazzling Details for some sparkle.  Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and Pearl Jewels add the finishing touches.

Toady is the final day of my You're Amazing Showcase.  I saved the best for last.  Okay, so I admit it!  This project is the whole reason I purchased this stamp set early, even though I knew I was going to get a free one at convention.  I made a bunch of these for 3D swaps at convention and they went like hotcakes!  I love the smell of peanuts and munched on some while I put these together.  I had to go out an buy another bag for the family too.  I was sweeping peanut shells for days!!!!

Cellophane bags are one of the best items you can have on hand.  Great for bags with toppers like today's sample, wrapping candy or other items, packaging for a small notebook or set of cards, these are a great value.  They come 50 in a pack, so you should never run out.  The small 3" x 5" bags are not longer available (not sure why they still show a photo of them online).

We're almost at the end of our You're Amazing showcase.  Today's card is a "G is for Graduate" card using the You're Amazing stamp set.  The G stamp says "the sky's the limit" so it goes great with these adorable pop-out balloons.

To make the balloon, stamp the balloon top 3 times, then fold each in half, stamped  side to the inside.  Glue unstamped sides together, then glue the flat side to the card.  The clouds were made with the Cupcake Builder Punch, then glued to the Pool Party card stock and run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

One of our Make and Take projects at Convention was this great scrapbook page using the new 12" x 12" Divided Page Protectors.  They come 10 in a pack and hold a variety of photo sizes.  They fit into a 12" x 12" ring album or binder, and are polypropylene, acid and lignin free!

This completed page has 5 pockets.  The middle pocket on the left is designed as a photo mat. 

This is the title for the page, using some Silver Glimmer Paper and our new  In Color Dahlias.  

The popped up balloon is actually on the outside of the page protector.

The elephant and Dahlia are on the outside of the page protector.  The fringe is made by cutting very thin strips along one edge of the card stock.  Ink one side of a stamp at a time to get a larger frame.  

This is a photo album within a page.  This photo shows it closed.

This photo shows the mini album open.

We left yesterday to move our oldest daughter, Kim, down to Tallahassee, FL to start grad school at Florida State.  My husband John and I are both graduates of the University of Florida (Gators), so this is especially hard for us both.  Kim is very understanding and has agreed not to attend any sporting events or wear FSU clothing items in our presence.  She is earning a Master's in Film Production, so everyone wish her well.  Katie also moved into her dorm yesterday at Arkansas State University for a week of pre-season band practice.  She is the section leader of the front ensemble, so she has her work cut out for her.  Hopefully, her sisters helped her move in.  I wish we could be in two states at once!  Next year, we'll have 3 in college when Jackie graduates.  Look out!

This is the second day to showcase  the You're Amazing stamp set.  It is part of our World Spectacular Collection as shown on pages 30 and 31 of the 2012-2013 Stampin'Up! Catalog.  This card is another Double Dutch Gate Fold card.  You can find the directions on Saturday's post (August 11th).
