antiquestamper and I swapped some images. I was SOOOO proud of myself for getting the images I was swapping into the mail ASAP. So proud, in fact, that I had to give myself a pat on the back on the way in from the mail box. A few short days later I received my images in the mail from antiquestamper and I was instantly humbled by the variety, amount and quality of the images she sent me (this is one of the images). Then I had to ask myself....were my images of equal quality? I hope so.....did I give antiquestamper an unexpected variety like I received? I hope so. It wasn't until I was glueing this card together that I entered the hall of shame. I noticed on the back of the image she had written the ink she had used, the paper it was stamped on and the name of the stamp. It was then that I realized that I had failed miserably on my first swap!!! ERGH!! But, like they say, "Pride comes before a fall". Thank you
antiquestamper for the wonderful swap.

Diane, this is GORGEOUS!!! You certainly have a talent for layout in addition to your fabulous coloring skills. Love how you made the morning glory just pop off the page. Reading your comment section was funny. It was my first swap too so I think I went totally overboard in an attempt to make sure I did it right! Swapping with you was a great experience.

Beautiful! I got a laugh at your comment above...don't we often feel inadequate? Don't worry...this is a gorgeous card, and it sounds like antiquestamper had the same feeling! Too funny!

This is a beautiful card...nicely done...I can totally relate, I did the same exact thing with my first swap. Being a "newbie" to stamping...didn't realize that the paper, etc...made such a difference...
