Just a request ladies - if your card is a standard size, don't bother to include envelopes. If its an unusual size (square, tiny, huge) please include envelopes... Thanks! Just finished my square cards, which made me think of posting this!  Have a great weekend! Let me know when you need my address!!  Gail |

Great job, Cindy. I just need to do my sentiment and the insides (white paper, as my card is dark) and then they will be on their way to Gail
So is 5 our final number?

Love your cards, Cindy! I'm sure we'll all get great ideas from each other's work... I have to say, doing masculine-themed cards and pages is the most difficult thing for me - it's such a struggle not to use just a little bling!  Gail |

Thank you Gail, I can hardly wait to see everyones cards. This was my first card swap.....I must say it was fun.  I did have a hard time making them all alike, I tend to change things around the longer I work . Gail, thank you for holding this swap. Cat |

Me too Cat-- I also wanted to use what I had without needing to get new stuff. Mine were slightly different but the only one who will see that is Gail  Cindy |

I'll confess, too, Cindy and Cat! Mine aren't completely identical, either. I think its because I keep trying to improve on the design a bit.... Cat, you're welcome! This is the first time I've hosted, and its a lot of fun. So glad you two are in the recipe swap, too! It's going to be a blast!  Gail |

Packages of cards mailed out today, ladies. Each contains a little extra something from me to thank you for joining in. This was my first hosting job, and I had fun - hope you did, too! Many of you are also signed up for the recipe swap, and I suspect that will be even more fun! Thanks ladies! Gail |

Ladies, all of the cards are wonderful. There's a new lady were I work who seen some cupcake wrappers and picks I made for a last minute baby shower. (40 wrappers & 80 cowboy boots in 2 days after work even) She had asked to see some of my other work. I took everyones cards, she loved them, but the funniest part is my boss seen them too. He was really impressed with our work, and later asked me dozens of questions about techniques. At the end of the day......as he was leaving he said, "Cathy, I really like those cards. They are really nice...... you & your friends are really talented." Cat |

That's cool cat. When we lived in South Carolina my co-workers used to love the cards and stuff I would make for them. It was fun to share and create for them. It's fun to create, but it's also fun when it's appreciated. Barb |

Cat and Barb, I agree totally. I make cards and pages for the joy of the process, but when someone appreciates my stuff, it's the icing on the cupcake! Gail |

I have decided to start scrap booking.....well sorta. For years Chelle has made scrap/journals with her thoughts, ideas, and any little mementos (ticket stubs, scraps). Kinda like these new SMASH books. (which I'm buying a few of for future use on trips) I think a scrapbook with all the SL contests, card swaps and such I have precipitated in would be fun. Pictures or the cards themselves (I haven't decided yet) will be entered as my first card swap. That's one of the reasons I wanted to know who made what.......besides I love knowing. Thanks Again Ladies! Cat |

Great idea, Cat! And congratulations on entering the world of scrapping! You won't regret it! Remember, there are NO rules! Do what you like, and if you're pleased with the result, then you did it right!  Gail |
