January Card Swap

Ok don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but hey ho I have now, while I am getting the addresses and partners sorted you can make a start on your cards
Decided as it's my last one you just send them all to me......no only joking
We are all good friends on here so decided with Friendship being close to our hearts and with Valentines just around the corner would have the topic as Friendship. Whatever you like but 'friend' must be the main theme, get your thinking caps on ladies and lets see what you all come up with

Ok here's your partners ladies:-

Cubbie66 to Jenny
Craftworker to Andrea
Christine to Melchache
Lady of Kent to Poppytree
LoopyLou to Lexiecraft
Shellshearer to CosmicFairy
CarftyPat to Shellshearer
CosmicFairy to CraftyPat

Great idea Jan - I'm away to the craft room to have a ponder!

Had a ponder, got the inspiration and made the card! Decided to stay away from hearts and flowers for a change but it still fits the 'friends' theme!

Hope I get a 'name' before Friday - if not, I'll have to send it to you Jan!

Great theme thanks Jan

Thanks Jan

Just to say thank you to Jane for her lovely card got it this afternoon, I will get the photo on here when I have charged the camera batteries, Thank you Jane

Here is my wondeful card from Jane.

Glad you liked it Janet. Here's how it's made.

I dabbed distress inkpads on semi gloss card, spritzed it with water then sprinkled some clear embossing powder over and heated. I then stamped the boy and dog (man's best friend?) on this backing card and tore the edges. Next some gold embossed clocks on black card and some 'Art' stamps (stamped with Brilliance ink) on distress ink sponged white card. Added some flowers, gold brads and peel-off strip then mounted it all on a bronze metallic base card. Finally added a couple of words made on my mini Dymo lable maker.

Great card Jane and thanks for sharing with us Janet. We even have the bonus of how to make it too

Lou posted yours today , gawd knows when you'll get it ! x

Thought I'd start a new trend. The cards I've received in the past are so beautiful and pictures don't always do them justice. Occasionally I wonder 'how did they do that?'

Lovely card Jane and thanks for showin us Janet

Hubby took yours down to the post the other day Jane so it arrives before you go. fingers crossed, thank you again.

I'm sure it will get here in time, thanks. Postman hasn't been today yet but he has been getting through by 2.00pm most days.



As you can, it has just arrived - thank you so much for getting it here early.

Lovely card Janet and thanks for showing us Jane
