Card Candy

Houston Paper Divas Swap

It has been a crazy few weeks. Firstly  - no internet or TV.

And, Comcast could not send an engineer out for 10 days

- which I considered just ridiculous....especially when I discovered several

homes in our neighbourhood didn't have service either.

So, I went to Starbucks - free internet

- looked up details of the company, found the Comcast CEO's number, and called him....

Needless to say, the internet and tv were back on pretty soon after my call

- but then everything was reset!

Including my email!

So, I have spent TOO much time trying to sort it out.

And school started....

And Alistair was out of the country....

And the 2 toilets kept overflowing.....

And, and, and....

Anyway - I am back!

Our swap this month was Card Candy - you know,

a pack of what some folk call 'toppers' -  images displayed in a bag,

all of the same theme.

The idea is that you can just take one of the images from the bag and use it

on a card - or scrapbook.

Everyone got a different 'theme' - mine was masculine.

I decided to go with a Nautical theme

- using The Open Sea Stamp Set and Nautical Expedition Designer Paper

that was in the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini.

Unfortunately, this paper has now retired

- but you can still get it in digital format HERE

So, here is my swap all bagged up.......

And, easier to see out of the bag....

Here are a couple of close-ups.
