Stamp Club met Saturday. I took my camera but no one seemed keen on getting there picture taking Saturday morning! So,  above is a picture of the swaps that were traded.  Not only did I make it to stamp club,which I often miss because I have to work, but I got a swap made! I'm glad I didn't miss it,  Helen demoed these cute Calendar Easel projects (close up below) and then went over some Distress ink techniques with us.  At the store we often get asked about scrapping and stamping groups - if you belong to one we'd love to hear about it.
