With our photopolymer stamps, you can *CLEARLY* see exactly where you are stamping because they are totally clear!

Today I want to show some fun folds from the Founder's Circle swap:
Terri Gaines made a simple foldover and attached a big label to it:
She used a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Shimmery White cardstock (101910) and folded in it half. It will still fit in a one of our Medium envelopes.
This is a beautiful elegant card but I don't know who made it:
and the inside:
And finally, this pretty card by Linda Bauwin - I love how it expands and stands on it's own!

Today, I want to share some of the Christmas cards that I received in the Founder's Circle swaps.
Debbie Moczek used the hat stamp from Snow Day (wood: 131892, clear: 131895) in a very creative way!
And this one by Alanna Wharf demonstrates a technique I have never seen (stamp with the lid of a marker!)
I really like the new Christmas Collectibles stamp set (wood: 131772, clear: 131775) and the matching punch (132152) but Meg Loven used it in a unique way:

Here are some more of my favorite Founder's Circle swaps:
How cute is this card by Lorri Heiling:
Another blast from the past by Cindy Baughman:
I think this was the smallest swap, but how sweet!! Lynsay Mahon made this tag:
By the say, this stamp came from the set, Spread the Joy (wood: 134781, clear: 134784) which was the winning entry of a design challenge of Stampin' Up! employees. This set is available only through January 2nd, so if you like it, you should order it now.

Over the next few days, I want to share some of my favorite Founder Circle swaps. I showed you mine HERE.
Here are a couple that you could copy right now.
A pumpkin that is positively perfect (by Sherri Peters). I bet die cutting 120 "thankful"s took a long time!
and a great card for Thanksgiving by Glenda Travelstead. I helped a little on this on, putting the pins on the hearts :)
And as far as I can tell, Patty Bennett was the only one that used My Digital Studio. I love this card. She used real ribbon and real Candy dots and the words are popped up.
If you want to know more about swapping cards, I bet you would be interested in knowing more about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Click HERE for more information.

While at Founder's Circle, we were delighted to each receive the new Everyday Occasions Card Making Kit!
With this kit (which will probably be released this week), you have everything you need (except scissors and basic adhesive) to make 20 CARDS!!! Now, I can't show you what is inside the box yet, but I can show you the 20 cards that you will be able to make when you buy the kit! Yep, it's OK, Stampin' Up! said we could show you this much!
And guess how much this awesome kit will be? Just $29.95! Yeah! These cards are very simple and literally take just a few minutes each so they are perfect for the beginner, or even the non-stamper. And at this price, this would make a fantastic gift!! So be watching this week to order your's!! Me, I plan on getting several for gifts!

I looked back over my Founder's Circle posts and I realized that I didn't do a very good job at describing the Pillow Gifts. Each night, after dinner, when we returned to our rooms, there would be a gift for us. This is a tradition that we also see on the incentive trips and it is so much fun!!
Here are the gifts we received:
First night: brand new products that will be in the next Occasions Catalog that you will see in January. I am not allowed to show you the products in the packaging, but I can show you what can be made with them.
Second night: I couldn't figure out how to open it and so I got some help. And then, I still wasn't sure what it was. It turned out to be an Infinity scarf and I'm not sure I can even wear it, but I will try to get some pictures and share them with you later.
Third night: a pair of our awesome scissors in a pretty pouch:
and the final night: a Founder's Circle charm and the bracelet, too, since it was my first time:
Hopefully, this describes the pillow gifts better!

I started this post on Saturday but didn't get it finished until today... sorry!
Today is the last day and I took it easy, sleeping in a bit and then I did some shopping with friends. The final event was a secret until we got there. What do you think it is?
And then....
It was a day on the Farm! LOL! It was REALLY windy and I didn't take many pictures. We got to play a bunch of games like a duck race, archery, roping (I missed the "cow" but I actually roped the cowboy!), and Bingo. We got a ton of Stampin' Up! product as prizes and then had a yummy dinner (pulled pork, Dutch oven beans, homemade root beer, and apple cobbler with ice cream).
We played the games with our original groups - here are the Milk Duds:
and we finished up with some fine entertainment:
and of course, there were more gifts: the brand-new, Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit, which will be released this week!!!
and the final pillow gift: a beautiful horseshoe charm, and because it was my first Founder's Circle, I also received the charm bracelet. Hopefully, it won't be the last!
