Lots of Layers Swaps

I'm a swap-a-holic. How do I know? I keep checking for new swaps more times than I eat meals (at least 5 times a day), I managed to join a mega swap (48 + 2 = 50 card fronts) and 5 spots in a "Lots of Layers" swap (5 designs x 8 cards = 40) with due dates all within a couple of weeks, and when I finish one set of swaps I sign up for another. On one hand, swaps compel me to use my stamps as much as possible. I tend to collect stamps, embellishments and ribbon and store them neatly away. They would only come out when I get new stuff and need to reorganize... or when the Stampin' Up! retiring list is posted and I separate the current stamps from retired ones. On the other hand, I am quite addicted! The post office people will expect my visits to be on a regular basis.

Here are some recent cards I made for the 2009-2010 SU Catalog Lots of Layers swap:


(Thanks to Sandra Hanedanian for taking the photo of the Halloween card above... I was in such a hurry and didn't get to make another copy to scan/photograph.)
