Today is going to be a looooong day for me! We fly out of St. Louis to Chicago at 1:20 p.m., then it's off to L.A. with about a 5 hour layover, then we fly out of L.A. at about midnight, arriving in Fiji in the wee sma's of the morning! Stampin' Up! will have a breakfast ready for us when we get there, and then I'll bet I will be ready for a big nap!
I am all packed and ready to go! My swaps are done and packed, safe in my carry-on along with my brand-spankin' New Annual Catalog! I've viewed the catalog online already, but I am saving a good long browse for the plane rides! yay!
Today I have my Fiji swap to show you. I made 26 of these, 25 to swap and 1 for Stampin' Up!

At Leadership this past January, Stampin' Up! gave everyone in attendance this new catalog stamp set, Sketched Birthday, so I decided to create my swap with it! I chose Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper because it is CARRYING OVER into the New Catalog, so I decided to use Real Red and Marina Mist, which are two of the page colors, for my color palette. The images and paper are all punched with the Postage Stamp Punch. I embossed the Whisper White layer with the Chevron Folder, and added Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details for a little bling!
Here are some close-ups of the bling:
Stampin' Up! offered two bottles of the Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details as a demonstrator incentive recently. I've always been a sucker for an incentive carrot! It's fun to be able to use a completely FREE product, which is another fun perk of being a demonstrator!
Well, I must close for now and finish getting ready to go! My son, Troy, will be here soon and we will be on our way to a week in Fabulous Fiji!
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
