Easy Designer Paper Layout

I met a really nice demonstrator, Kathy Hilden of Michigan, at Stampin' Up!'s BackStage/Leadership Event in Las Vegas. Her swap was just the BEST idea and sweetly created.  Isn't this just ADORABLE!! Well, it's super easy! Just start with Designer Series Paper cut 3 X 3".  Cut it in half at a slight angle. Spread the cut and put your sentiment there. Trading swaps with other demonstrators is just the BEST!! We all have different styles.

The base card is Pool Party with a layer of Pretty Peacock. This Garden Walk 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #161945 is just CHARMING!! What a sweet card, Kathy!! Thanks for swapping with me!!
