Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention is being held this week in Salt Lake City, Utah. Some of us aren’t able to be there to enjoy all the fun, so I organized a PALS Convention Non-Goers Card Swap so that those who aren’t in Salt Lake City can get a little something special in the mail this week. Ten talented stampers created beautiful cards and sent them to me last week. I mixed up the cards and mailed each one to one of the other nine stampers. These cards have made quite the trip to Atlanta…from Pennsylvania, Texas, South Carolina, California, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan and Maryland!
Here are the cards that were included in this swap:
I was so happy to receive all of these cards – even if it meant I had to turn around and send them back out. This is what our love of stamping is all about – sharing with others. To our friends who are living it up in Salt Lake City right now, ENJOY! We really hope you have a wonderful time.
Thanks for stopping by today!

This was such a fun idea! Beautiful cards Brian – so glad you posted them! Looking forward to getting my swap!
What a great post! Loved getting to see everyone’s cards and can’t wait to receive one in the mail
Thanks so much for organizing this, Brian!
I do hope they arrive in today’s mail. I mailed them out early Monday, hoping they’d arrive before this post.
It was really fun! I loved all the cards.
These are awesome! I love the color combinations they’ve come up with. TFS!
Thanks for your comment, Maggie. There really is a beautiful diversity of colors and styles represented here. Glad you liked them.
Mine came in today’s mail. I received Susan’s beautiful blue poppies
So glad to hear it, Linda! Loves the blue poppies! Loved your card, too. Thanks for participating in the swap!
Awesome, thanks Brian for doing this.
It was really fun. Not a huge group because I didn’t give a huge heads-up, but it was fun.
These are all absolutelyl beautiful! I look forward to the next round. Thanks so much for coordinating this Brian!
You’re REQUIRED next time, Edna!
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful cards with us Brian! Include me in your next swap???
Kat, this was organized for Stampin’ Pretty Pals, the SU! group I belong to. It was fun to include folks from all over the US!
Thanks so much Brian for doing this swap and for posting everyones cards. Thanks to Nancy for her lovely card I received from her. Hope you do more of these. It was fun and one card was really nice for a change. Hope everyone enjoyed this as much as I did and thanks again Brian.
It was my pleasure to organize this, and I will definitely step up to do more. Thanks for your participation! I love your card – and the extra one you sent me. Thanks!
These are such beautiful cards! This was such an awesome idea and I hope that we can have these more often. The Pals are the greatest!!!
The Pals ARE the greatest! I will definitely offer to do this again!
Brian, I rec’d my lovely card from Sue Melchione in the mail today. Thanks so much for organizing this, it was fun!
Yayyyyy… I got mine in the mail just now!!! I received the gorgeous blossoms from Amy Gehman!!! Woot woot… I LOVE IT AMY! Brian a special thank you for organizing the event.
So glad to hear it, Maggie! Loved both yours and Amy’s – lots of detail work on both. I was so happy to receive all those cards. Will definitely do it again!
I received my card from Diane Roberts-love the Petals A Plenty textured folder! This was fun. Thanks so much for doing this Brian!
Ok… I have to say, Sue’s is my favorite, but I may be bias. I see that she is from my favorite place in the entire world… MYRTLE BEACH!!!!!!!!!! Brian, thanks for sharing, and let us know when you are ready to coordinate again. We may overwhelm you next time!!
That would be wonderful, Bobbi – to be overwhelmed with swap cards. It was so much fun!
this looks like a lot of fun!!! We are enjoying our time here in SLC Utah
I am so excited I can’t sleep.
Love all your projects! See you at convention in 2013! Sherrill Graff

Sherrill, Thanks for your comments. I’ve been unable to sleep, too, and I’m not there! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading all the updates from my SU! Pals who made it to SLC. I will definitely be there in 2013! Get some rest because I’m guessing tomorrow will be a long day.
What an awesome idea. LOVE all these cards.
Thanks, Max! Too bad I won’t be able to coordinate this swap next year…since I will not be a Convention non-attendee in 2013!
