UStamp Swaps from Beth Kern

The very talented Beth Kern from the United States of America was my UStamp Swap sister and here are the fabulous items that I received. Don't you just love them, I wish we had all the items that the US catalogue has, but hopefully we will get a similar catalogue next year - keep the fingers crossed for the Big Shot and Dies.

It's a beautiful sunny day in South Australia! I have just posted my swaps for my UStamp Swap Sister - but sorry I can not show you here until they reach Beth Kern in the United States of America, but I am really happy how they turned out and I hope she loves them too. Well back to the post which is another project from UStamp there is a new project each day for a month so that probably all I will be doing is trying to keep up... and I am already getting behind. I made the matching pen with some designer series paper and place some post it notes in the centre instead of a note pad.
