Here is my card for my friend
Berta's card swap. I made 13 cards. A card swap is where you make as many cards as people signed up for the swap. You usually have a month to make your cards, and of course I wait till the last minute every.single.time! The Swap is due on Saturday and I'm still working on my cards on Monday night. Anyhoo, after you finish making your cards, you mail/drop them off to the hostess, and she then swaps the cards back out from all 13 participants. You receive back 1 of your cards and 12 other cards. It's a fun way to collect beautifully handmade cards. Once I receive the swap back from Berta, I will post all the cards from the swap so you can ooh and ahhh.

| I used the stamp set One of a Kind (Close To My Heart). The cards are to supposed to be blank (no sentiment) but I added a sentiment just for my blog readers :) |

| A close-up of the flowers. I hand stamped the flowers and cut them out and used foam squares to "pop" the flowers and give them dimension. |

| A side view where you can kinda see the flowers raised. |
On another note,
Vikki from
My House, My Garden nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award before realizing I had already received the award from
The Rich Life on A Budget. What a treat to be nominated for the same award in one week! Here is my
original post from the award in case you missed it. I want to thank Vikki for thinking of me. I found her blog while blog hopping one day and fell in love with her
bedroom makeover. If I could make my bed over like hers, I would. Vikki has a beautiful house and family and is one of my favorite blogs to read.
