I am a participant in the Color Me Happy swap on SCS and I got my cards today!!!!! This is not your typical swap where you make however many of the same cards and then send them in and you get a sampling back. For this swap, we each gave a favorite color combo and then names were swapped. Then what we did was create 6 cards for the person we got in the colors they picked. The cards i made had been mailed but they have quite a distance to travel so they haven't arrived yet (but they are fabulous and I will share them once they reach their destination *wink*). BUT I got my cards today :D!!!!!! They are all gorgeous!!!!!! I picked pink and brown (for those of you that know me I know-big surprise *wink*). My card creator was my swapping buddy Misty (or Mot on SCS). We have been in a few swaps together and we were actually finally able to meet up in person last month in Salt Lake City at SU Convention!!!! I was SO great to finally meet her and put a face to the name. Anywho...let me share with you the beautiful cards that Misty made for me. (oh and let me add that each of them came with a perfectly matching stamped envelope too!!!!-love it!!!!)
This one uses the new Inspire by Nature set, the wide oval punch, and *gasp* the scallop edge!!!
*gasp* More scallops (are they perfect for me or what!?!?!?!) and a cute little rosette made with ribbon
One of my favorite sets ever...Baroque Motifs
More Baroque Motifs with cute little pearl accents
Hard to tell in the photo but this one just shimmers and shines
and finally this adorable little card using the new Eastern Blooms set. The flowers are popped up and have sparkly centers :)
Aren't they just the greatest?!?!?!?!? Thank you SO much Mist!!!! I really appreciate all of the work that went into these beauties for me. I promise to take care of them :)
SO are you totally jealous of my pretty cards??? Well it's too late for this round of the color me happy swap but Jessica is starting
Round 2 and is currently taking sign ups. This round we not only get to chose our color combos but also what occasion we want our cards to be. It's lots of fun and I would love to have the opportunity to swap with you!! Why don't you come on over and join us??
I also just finished up my cards for my alternate openings swap (and if I do say so myself they are pretty cute *wink*). Plus I have a few other cards to share...I've been having lots of fun playing with my new stuff. I hope that you have a great day!!! Hope to swap with you soon :)
These are lovely. I especially like the pink and brown color combo!
