3 x 3 Swap Cards for Convention

The Stampin' Up! Convention is fast approaching.   In just a little over 2 weeks I will be headed to Salt Lake City for this special 25th Anniversary Convention!  The past few years I have joined a 3x3 card Swap, it is a highlight for me.   This year the total swap cards I need to make is 80.  I thought about my card I wanted to make and choose By the Seashore and By the Tide as my sets to use.   I have cut all the layers of card stock, stamped everything and am in the process of coloring the crab image using a blender pen and reinker.   I showed my husband the sample card to get his opinion and he said he liked it...I said, "well now I need to cut 80 of those crabs out"  and he responded, "I'll cut some out, I need to do something while watching the Orioles baseball.   Tonight, I came home from work and he was already cutting crabs out. 

Here he is hard at work....Have you seen how tiny and intricate this crab image is?   He is a close up of the ones he had finished.

Even after cutting a dozen or so of these little guys, my husband could still smile and cut out even more.

SO, if you are a demo that is participating in this 3x3 swap, these crabs were cut out by my husband and not me.  He cut these out perfectly!!!   Thanks Hon!  Love You, ME.
