CARDS RECEIVED THROUGH A SWAP

Hi there,

How is your day? I had a great MAIL day. I entered a 5+1 floral card swap and received them today. This swap was hosted by corrosive69 Janet Rossi. Thank you Janet for hosting this great swap. I want to show you the great cards I got: Unfortunately I cannot give credit to who made most of these cards. Names were not included except 1.

This is a great card made with Roses in Winter. Can't believe this set is retiring! I also love the colors.

This card is a larger size. I really like the extra vellum layer.

I just love the sparkly flowers. Wonder if it is pearl-ex?

I particularly like this card. I like the splattered color on the brown and the white mesh gives it a great detail. This card was made by "winterbloom".

This last card must have been a lot of work. It is put together with strips of paper, like a quilt. Gorgeous! This card was made by Cristine! Thank you all! I love them!

LOOK AT WHAT I GOT!

This is a gift package I received from PAPER PRETTIES http://www.paperpretties.net/. I received this great gift throught the anniversary issue of the WEEKLY INKING 52 from SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS.

My gift is a set of 24 stamps from MY FAVORITE THINGS called "Simply Said". It has 24 great sentiments:

baby love, sweet baby boy, sweet baby girl, with love, congratulations, warm wishes, always, happy anniversary, you are my forever love, so grateful, heartfelt, gratitude, i am so sorry, i miss you, hello friend, i love you, thank you, thinking of you, sending you love, happy birthday, warm wedding wishes, you make me smile.

And also this great antiquing tool from AROUND THE BLOCK, which on one end has a brown ink pad and the other end is a sanding tool.

Now I have to make a THANK YOU card!

WOW! CHECK OUT MY MAIL

I received this gorgeous card from Joycelyn 'Stamps n'coffee' on SCS as a RAK. The reason we got in touch was that we both made a card for CC106 with the same stamp and basically the same layout and we uploaded them about the same time. She made a comment on my card saying that "Great minds think alike". Here is her card http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=507441&cat=500&ppuser=111891. You can see mind scrolling down a bit to the BIG BLOSSOMS 'SMILE' card.


I also received a box filled with mail boxes, cute little pails and a gorgeous card from Barbara 'hnbmoore' on SCS. She made a comment on here and asked if I would like to have some of these mailboxes. I have wanted to have these for quite awhile, since we don't have TARGET here. So, she just sent them over and asked me to pay it forward. So now I have to find a way to pay it forward. I'll keep you posted when I decorate them and when I pay it forward.
My daugters Melanie (8) and Vanessa (6) have claimed theirs already and want to decorate them this afternoon, after school.
