It's the last day and the week has gone by too fast. We would like to thank the Shimmerz Paints Company and their wonderful Shimmerz Design Team for a week full of fun and beautiful creativity with IO Stamps and Shimmerz Paints. I learned some really fun and creative things by visiting the Shimmerz Blog and their Design Teams' blogs for more creative tips. If you missed the first four days and want to catch up on all of the beautiful swap cards created by the IO and Shimmerz Design Teams click on the links below for some wonderful cards:
