August Cards

These swaps were finished early this month so I have almost a complete batch.

Crafty Cardmakers Swaps

Noobies

I used a DSP on a black card with a banner sentiment.  I wasam trying to use up my stash . . . 

This 'pretty in pink' was from Lucie and I love it.  Thank you Lucie

Colour - Yellow

Not my favourite colour but I'll roll with it . . 

I embossed the yellow card and then stamped the sentiment in the centre.  Easy . . . .NO!  It is very difficult to aim your stamp into the centre of the circle . . . this must be my third or fourth attempt!!

My return card is so very pretty, full of the joys of Spring!  Thank you Jackie

Casmet Swaps

Card of the month

I am trying to use up some to the wall paper samples I collected whilst Peter wandered around B&Q . . . . 

Dragon flies are just so pretty, I only have blue ones round my pond so this is a bonus.

I received this absolute beauty from PaulineY and I love it.  Thank you Pauline.

Member's Choice - Iris Folding

Now here's a technique I love and don't do often enough!

A beautiful watering can full of flowers . . . . in pink . . .

Another favourite of mine . . .  Ginger Jars.  in a past life I collected them, couldn't walk past a Charity shop without popping inside . . . just in case!!!  My collection stayed in my past life so I really appreciate the PINK Ginger jar.  Thank you PaulineM.

Pat's Letter - Y

This is just what our local skateboard park looks like any day of the week!  Full of Youth enjoying themselves.

One of my favourite flowers was sent by my partner.  Thank you Eleanor.

Pat's Swap - Aperture card

I created this one to honour the new arrival at Bright's Zoo.  

I know mine has its markings but . . . . 

I received this gorgeous card, acetate and folds.  Thank you Madge.

Die Cutting Friends

Letter H

This is a Tim Holtz embossing folder and diecuts . . .  so H for Tim Holtz.  Took ages to get that small embossing folder just right . . . and then gently swipe it with an inkpad!!

My swap return is super, lots of loverly layers.

Thank you Maureen for a gorgeous heart.

Domestic Animals

Lots and Lots of cats . . . . bet my partner likes dogs!!

This is my return card and really made me think then all was explained!  This is a sponsored dog.

Thank you Jackie, what a super idea.
