Went to another card swap yesterday. I really like making cards, especially when we have a monthly sketch to follow. I volunteered to make the next sketch so I better get on that. I made a friendship postcard with my cute stampin up stamp that says "sew glad we're friends." For the card swap you have to make 10 of the same card, so when I chose the buttons to be the embellishment that also meant painting 66 buttons ( I made 1 extra for myself), all of which needed three coats, on a Saturday night. Other than the card swap we had no real plans this holiday weekend, which is just how I like it to be sometimes. I have spent some time visiting with family, watching movies, and cleaning up a storm. I always try to squeeze in so many things on a three-day weekend, but today I'm just going to enjoy the rain and see what pops up, and of course try to spend some quality time in the craft room.

Hey I loved the cards that you made!!! My mom Stephanie, Barb's friend, showed me the cards when she got back from the card swap. There so cute!!!
What great cards, I have never heard of a card swap...is it in person??
And, I hope you're having fun on your slow down :)
I love these cards and the card swap idea I used to participate in print swaps , kinda the same?
thanks, ladies! the card swap is in person. a group of us meet once a month (with a theme or layout in mind) and swap cards. If you come with 10 cards, you get to leave with 10 different cards. it's the best!
