Chalk Talk Swap

Here's my second swap card - using my beloved Coastal Cabana, of course!  I love this stamp set so much, and the awesome framelits that go with, too, of course.  I can't tell you how overwhelming it was to have 50 of these tags stacked up on my desk while I prepped all the pieces - I'm thinking I'll need to do these in Christmas colors for the holidays, too!
Working with the Smoky Slate, I'm finding that it really has a silvery quality - it really does almost read as a metallic paper.  Very cool.
Finally, to answer a question I received, NO, I did not include envelopes with all my swaps!  I made one for the card I kept for myself, to photograph for you all!  Remember my mantra - NO NAKED ENVELOPES!
Off this morning for a home office tour with my wing-girl - we can't wait!  Then, opening session tonight - woo hoo!  I was amused to read in my horrible-scope this morning that I am advised to not try to do too much today
