I’m Not Worthy…

…what movie was that from? Bob & Doug McKenzie?  or that movie with Mike Myers, that for the life of me I can't remember the name only the "Schwing" saying they kept saying in it.

Before Convention the rest of the Artisan Award Winners and I had been emailing back and forth and we thought it would be fun to do a swap at dinner, and make a card for Shelli, Brent and the two concept artists, Robin and Angie too.  I already showed mine before and I must say these girls knocked my socks off…

Here ya go…I hope you are ready…these are in no particular order, just the way I took them out of my ziplock bag to take pictures…

Shelley Bohan

I loved how she used the scallop border punch to make the rick rack ribbon, even Shelli commented on it when she looked at the cards.

Shelley even put a bit of crystal effects in the centers of the flowers.

I love all the little details she did, those Canadian girls…ya gotta love em…

Mary Jo Albright

This card has so much cutting out going on, this must have taken Mary Jo forever to make, and she totally has me wanting to order this Greenhouse Garden stamp set, and you know I am not a solid stamp lover…she even used a clear button, and I can't tell you the last time I used those…love it…

Shanna Jensen

This Medallion stamp, I do believe Stampin' Up! said it is the number one set right now and I see why, it is so versatile and makes quite a statement.

I love how Shanna threaded the beads on the wire and made a head out of the prettie pearl for the butterfly.  This is adorable, just like her…

Lisa Nichols

I love all the little extra steps on this card, I am gaga over Stampin' Up!'s embossing folders, and my gosh Lisa's cutting around the Gallery stamp is so even, you would swear it was a punch…

Angie Tieman

Angie had shown pieces of this swap on her blog, and it is so stinking cute.  I have no idea how she sewed in a circle, I can barely sew a straight line.

I love the polka dotted red ribbon stapled to the front of the card, and I totally need to get this wood grain background stamp.

I got the Happy Together stamp set as an award for promotions at convention, so I am excited to ink it up.

Cindy Lawrence

What can I say about my girlfriend Cindy, her watercoloring is breathtaking, and look what she did to the kraft corduroy button, she colored it with the marker and changed the color…what a smartie….

Summer Stone

This card put 5 pounds on me as soon as I looked at it, I swear it is cute enough to eat.  All the little touches, the crystal effects, the glitter, the brad, OMG even that background paper is from my least favorite pack called Kaleidoscope and I am so getting it now…I am off to find some floss, I think I got some dazzling diamonds stuck in my teeth…

Jolene Slack – card closed – kinda – but it shows the front

I don't want to drool cause I don't want to mess up this gorgeous flower, first Jolene colored the flower, then she stamped on it, brilliant, it makes it look so expensive.

I love these colors together too, and the fancy little fish tail on the ribbon.

Let's open the card…

…now this is what happens when you oepn the card, the center like flips around so you see the back, it is very cool, and I am hoping my brain can figure it out, you know me and math…

Fran Sabad – card closed – Here is another brilliant 3-D card, one of my downline Debbie (hey girl) had taught us how to make these one time, and I love what Fran did to it.

I love Halloween and this is such a great invitation, but not just for Halloween, what about those over the hill friends you got…ha!

Lets open…or should I say squish down the card…

…look what it does, the tombstone sticks up now, and the card stands up.

I do live on Tombstone you know, so I could use this card, all year long…Boo! Did I scare ya?

I must say all these cards are going to stay in a special place for always, and I am so looking forward to getting to know the girls better as the year goes by.

I hope the names stay with the cards, I make it all look nice and tidy and then I hit publish and then wacko wacko everything is a jumbly mess…ha!

Oh ya wanna little sneak peek of my card I will show you tomorrow?  It is one of the make n takes for my Kick Off party this weekend…

…here ya go…aren't I bad? Teasing you like that!

Have a super duper Thursday, and thanks for stopping in!

See you tomorrow!
