Retired Cardstock and New Swap

I just received a package from another demonstrator who luckily had some of the old Blush Blossom cardstock left and I jumped on it.  I love the color for flesh tones with our stamping inks and papers but I am lacking in some skin coloring skills.  I stunk the last time I tried to use the Blush Blossom marker and Blender pens.  Most of my samples ended up in the trash because I thought they were awful.  I am a bit hard on myself but it was truly awful.  So I bought all the girl had so I have a slight reprieve before I have to try again.  Yeah, ME!  Current news as well is that I was looking on our demonstrator website and saw a cute holiday gift tag swap and signed up for it and I am excited to do this.  I love to swap and get new ideas. With these swaps though I could also put them together in groups and give away as gifts.  I will take pictures and post soon so you can all share in my ups and downs in the creative department in my head. I love the fact that if I love it,then it worked out and if I do not like it, I can always start over. More to come.....
