Swaps

I made this wallet card for a lady over at the DC site for the October image swap.
The colours are alot brighter than I usually use, but I found some Anna Griffin Papers that I had forgotten about, so I used those and I think it came out OK.
I hope she likes it.

and this one is for a lady on the DC site that I made as part of the October friendship swap. I really like doing the swaps as I have received some lovely cards and images from the crafters I have swapped with and am making some friends aswell. It's all good.

Papers on this one are Pink Petticoat

1. One of my most treasured possessions is a 10" x 8" photo of Donny Osmond which he signed "Happy 40th Birthday Michele, Love Donny".

I cannot even look at a sandwich that is cut in squares! Told you I was wierd! lol

EAGERLY AWAITED BIRTHDAY CARD!!

I really like this card. I made it for my cousin's daughter, Laura, who is 20 today. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA".

Her first words when I gave her the card were "Ooooh I've been waiting for your card all day"

She really loved it, especially the colours and it was also nice to see my card appreciated like that, because when you make cards for other people on order, you never get to see the reaction of who they are made for.

Papers are Pink Petticoat, Ribbon & Flowers from stash.

Take care and thanks for looking xxx

WALLET CARD

This is a wallet card I made for a lady on Docrafts who I am doing an image swap with.

Good luck, Michele xx

A BIG THANK YOU

I made this card for a lovely lady on the Docrafts site who really helped me out recently. I think this image is so cute and when I know she has received the card, I will tell you who she is.
