Stampin' Chez Moi

I am over the top excited about going to my first convention!!! I found a great community over at the Stampin' Connection (another perk about being a demo for SU) ~ anyway, I was really encouraged to make even 10 swaps to bring to convention and swap with others....well, so far I have 28 and if I get a chance I'll make a few more, but time is ticking as we leave early Saturday morning, but I'm so pleased to be bringing 28 swaps along ~ here is a quick snap of my swaps, sorry for the bad picture quality, but I'm running like crazy trying to get everything done for us and my parents and my in laws before we head out ~ yikes.....I NEED a holiday! And this will be a great one ~ we are road tripping to Utah, which is what we LOVE to do! My cards also qualify for the challenge at Seize the Birthday ! I love this challenge and so thrilled to play along....finally! The DSP that I used is from the current catalogue...and remember,  SU is offering this wonderf...

Dean & I had such a fun time camping with Seth last week ~ here are a few shots of our time together! Dean & Seth played checkers and although we don't  have a picture of us...I taught Seth how to play Backgammom...and we had a blast! Well I was elated when I saw the sketch from JUGS ...this could not have been more perfect for what I had in mind for Seth's Birthday card....I can't believe our first born grandchild is going to be 13 next week. And of course Seth will be getting a nice Soft Suede, Leather bound Backgammom Board from Gramma...and the card....well, you guessed it....a Backgammom card! So much fun! Two quick little comments from me..... wish I wouldn't have stamped my VeryVanilla disks...should have just left them and embossed them with clear EP as I did the Chocolate Chip ones....and secondly... ...I know it's a goofy card, but Seth will be TOTALLY impressed that I made a Backgammom card...hence the.....Backga...
