Using ribbons from stash, paper from my Docraft goody bag and a few stickers, I had these beauties all ready to post off.
I printed out my sentiments onto the backing papers, I also had to print the sentiment for the ticket on the third card.
I placed some ribbon pieces across two of the cards, leaving room for a ticket or two.
This little boy is one of my favourite images so I printed it out a couple of times, coloured it with watercolour pencils and made the image 3D. As he is starting off with his valise I gave him a passport to help him on his way.
I received these following cards back:
A little glittery car.
Thank you Laureta.
To Earth and Beyond.
Thank you Margo.
A map of Northern Ireland. A place I visited after the Troubles were over. I crossed over into Eire when I visited friends who were neighbours at the time the IRA blew up Birmingham people and children. My friends still felt it strange to cross the border and have no checkpoints.
I had to see the country for myself .... it was beautiful. Although the members of the IRA blew up places in my city, I knew they did not represent the whole of the Irish peoples - I said and still say - I have never met a bad Irishman.I love this card - my own personal souvenir of a good trip.
NB. note the little tiny words and the car ... there is a road that leads downhill yet the car travels uphill ..... only in Ireland!
Thank you Marna for a very special to me card.
Thank you Judy for hosting such an enjoyable swap.

Aren't they good! Brilliant in fact! I like the aliens! It reminds me of my digis and one of my cartons from ages back/ We come in peas and .."It looked a lot bigger on the map" which I think was in The Sun, newspaper (about a hundred years ago!) goning to look at some more
