I have another group of cards I received in swaps to show you. When I saw the Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set during the catalog preview, I wondered what was Stampin' up! thinking? Well I guess they knew what they were thinking because it is a popular set. Apparently gnomes are "in" again, maybe because of the Travelocity ads. Here are two cards to prove that they can be really cute.

WEDDINGS won't be too far behind, so here's a a lovely wedding card to get your creative juices flowing. This card is elegant and looks so complicated, but really it is easy to do with Stampin' Up's Framelits and the Boho Blossoms paper punch.

Make this really special by using the bride's color instead of Elegant Eggplant. You can't get that at the Hallmark store!
Well I'm off to do some stamping! I am working on a project for the Tea Shoppe stamp set.
Stop by again tomorrow to see the last 5 cards I received in swaps.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
