If you could have peeked into my studio lately, you would have seen me working hard on lots of Alpha Stamp 'Garden Variety' samples, not to mention a 6 page information/instruction file for anyone who registers for the swap. I've also gone ahead and set up a new system for delivering the swap information to you, upon the recommendation of my Vintage Gluebook instructor, Mary Green! You will continue to register for any creative swap via a PayPal button on the blog, but now after your payment has cleared, you will immediately receive a link where you can download any information/pdf files pertaining to the swap. You won't have to wait for me to send it to you! :^) First, I'll show another postcard I made with the new Alpha Stamp products, then the swap details! Click for a larger photo.
