Anyway here are a couple of the swap card ideas and a few other random cards I have made.

Suzy Room Card!

How fun is this card!? It took quite a while to get her created but she is here. The idea had been floating around in my head for a while but it took a while to get her on paper. The base is 8x8 piece of whisper white folded in half both ways and then I cut on one of the lines to the center. The stamps are Family Phrase, Sassy Suzie, and the Neighborhood Wheel. I sponged the sky with Bashful Blue, colored the houses. Sassy Suzie and the Yard sign are cut out and sat up with a small piece of garden green paper to match the sponged garden green grass. I have yet to complete the outside of her but she folds up and is mailable. If you would like to learn how to create one of these fun cards email me today to set up a workshop where you and your friends can create one.

Here is the card folded up....You can decorate the outside and tie with ribbon to mail....Stay tuned...she will be completed one day! :-)
