april's cardswap, the cards

So this is my card. I found it online, I wrote down the link, but now I can't find where I got the idea from... I will update it as soon as I figure out where I got the idea from.... I am pretty sure it came from one of the sites listed on the side of my blog. Ms Manners stamps, or I stamp. I wish I could rememember for sure I will keep looking I will find it again. My apologies for stealing and not remembering.

This is probably my favorite card of the month. I love the colors and the saying. This was Kim's card.

We used a water color technique on this card. It was really neat. I had never water colored before, but now I will try it again. This was Katherine's card. She always has the coolest cards.

We had a man's theme for the month. This is a neat little gift card holder. The undershirt pulls out and holds a gift card. It's really cool. This was Dee's card


I love the tie card and it was petty cool to make. This was Tiffany's card.

This house mouse stamp so reminds me of how I am after first break in the morning at work, except I have never sat on a desk with a computer on it before. This stamp came from scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com Julie designed this card.

this card has some really neat texture... the bottom band is actually mettle meshing. I like it a lot. :) If I remember correctly this was Gillian's card.

this one was really cool too. We used the big shot floating die to cut out the shape. It also cut out and scored the card in the right spots. It was way way way cool. :) I really like that die... anyway, back to the card... why I stuck my fingers through the hole when I took the picture is beyond me. this is tracy's design. Sorry about the finger Tracy. :(

finally aprils card swap

The girls at the card swap...

Sorry I missed this one in my postings last night.

I absolutely adore this one also. It is a test tube filled with spring time m&m's. I don't want to give this one away at all. But I think if I can find 18 test tubes I will be making them for my daughters class for easter. I'll have to learn how to score then :)

Feb. Card swap

possibly my favorite card for the card swap.

This is pink card goes with the pop up card that is further down the line. I can't get them together for some reason.

The inside of this card says, "get lots of rest drink fluids eat cereal!"

The inside of the pop up card.

My mom already stole my chocolate out of this one :) I knew she would when I picked the dark chocolate to go inside of it.

I totally missed making this card. I thought it was adorable too. Oh well.

I think the inside said, "it was the worst ten minutes of my life" or something like that.
