GoDivas Amazing Swappers at OnStage Live

I was asked a few years ago to join this awesome, private group of stampers formed by Robin Merriman - GoDivas Amazing Swappers!  We get together at Stampin' Up! events to swap and see each other because we all live in different parts of the US.  
Today I want to share with you my card and a group photo of the GoDivas!  Here is the card I designed and swapped with the group.

Some serious swapping going on:
