This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend WCMD 2015 in Atlanta. This is “World Card Making Day” and has become an annual event hosted by Pam Morris and Brian King. It was a fabulous day of fun, stamping and swapping! This is the card I made for the group swap. My effort was very small compared to some of the fabulous swaps I received! But I love the look of red against either Crumb Cake or Sahara Sand and I can’t stop experimenting with that color combination for holiday this year! You will notice in the recipe that even though I used Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake card stock, for the inks I used Real Red and Sahara Sand. Sometimes I don’t match the ink to the card stock. In this case, the Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake made the card too dark. Using the lighter inks popped the colors better on this card stock. So, I encourage you to experiment! You don’t always have to match the ink to the card stock you use. One of the main advantages of using Stampin’ Up products is that all the inks and papers tend to coordinate. That is one of the main things I love about Stampin’ Up.
Here I am with my table mates for the day and hosts Pam Morris and Brian King. It was wonderful to meet everyone. I definitely have some great new Stampin’ friends! And I have to say Pam Morris was really great at chronicling the day! She took pictures of every swap, every board, every table, every event and then posted them to the WCMD Facebook page. That was wonderful since I am terrible at recording anything! 
Here we are swapping! It went pretty smooth considering there were almost 100 swappers in the line!
