Stamp with Me

I'm back home after spending over two months in Florida. Although there were a few days where it was unseasonably cold (for the Floridians) we found the weather to be perfect. A couple of days were pretty windy and made it a bit uncomfortable at the beach (the fine sand being blown about was very hard on the skin).

Before I left home I signed up for a swap hosted by Marie Kirkwood. The submissions were to use NEW stamps from the Stampin Up Idea Book & Catalogue that was released in January. There were 4 themes to choose from - Get Well, Birthday, Thank You and Sympathy. Participants were to make 11 card fronts (4 X 5.25) that were all the same. These were sent to the host (Marie) and she then sorted them and sent back 11 different card fronts to each participant. The swap out was in February and as I was away mine sat waiting for my return. What a lovely package awaited me.

These are the cards I received.

This is the one I sent in.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I am back in a routine at home and in my craft room. I need to get stamping - I only did a few cards while I was away and I have missed it.
