Purrrfect Love
It’s Valentine’s week my sweets! Time to focus on all things red, pink and lovey. 
(I’m trying to avoid chocolate.)

A few years ago, I was an avid swapper. Those of you in non-scrapbooking circles are all aghast right now, aren’t you? Oh, wait. This is a scrapbooking blog. There ARE none of you who are non-scrappers. So I don’t need to explain my swapping habits. 
Anyway, several years ago, I swapped regularly. These days, I don’t have time, and I’ve moved away from the border style anyway. But back in the day, I was lucky enough to swap with a group of scrapbook artists who did beautiful work. Our group did a regular swap called “Potluck”, where we’d all make one specific border set for one specific person. This layout features one such swap. (I always loved Belinda’s work. My albums from 2002-2004 showcase a lot of her borders!) I probably hinted around that I had cat photos to scrap. I may have even requested a paper piecing that resembles my cat. This morning, while flipping through my albums looking for layouts about LOVE, I came across this one and knew I had to share it.
Do you swap? If so, do you USE your swaps? I still have a big box full of ‘em. I can’t bring myself to get rid of them, because some of them are gorgeous. Challenge yourself to USE some of the swaps you have this week. Let’s see ‘em!

I swap. A lot.
I have plenty of excellent and beautiful borders to select from.
Now if I could just recover from my swap addiction and start using the borders I have!

Yep, I swap alot too. Loving the new non-cm non border swaps! And, I USE my swaps. I have a huge stash, but I use them on my pages regularly. Love em!

I don’t swap that much because I have way too many of my own things to do. I do like to swap and host a regular scrapped recipe swap on another board. The Recipe Book that the recipes are making is going to be fantastic.

I use to swap a lot tooo and I’m in the same boat, they are too pretty to get rid of; but I find it hard to use them….great challenge, I may have to dig some out and use them!

Yep. I’m a swapper. And I do use a lot of what I get too.
