Has it really been THAT long since I blogged?

I have so much to share and a few designs I'm rather proud of too.  I attended Stampin' Up!'s Hartford Regional Convention on March 11th two weeks ago, and I am extremely inspired by the talent I was exposed to!  Here's the SWAP I designed for the event.

I had a few others designed, but the March flu bug prevented me from putting together many SWAPS.  A lesson for the future to start making swaps as soon after I've purchased my ticket as I can.  I do really like the way this one came out though.  Here's the recipe (all supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
