October Cards

The theme of the month is Anything Goes - really becoming one of my faves since it gives me the freedom to do anything I want... and each card that arrives in the mail is a surprise!

September Cards

The theme for this month is Sympathy / Get Well / Cheer Up.

I hope I don't need to use these cards often, but it's always nice to have one ready for when it's necessary!

August's cards

The theme for this month is "Anything Goes"... since I am still in denial about the end of summer coming to a close, my card will be somewhat summer related. What about you?

August Question of the Month

This month's question is...
Where do you find inspiration for your cards?

July Cards

The theme for July is "Masculine Birthday". If you're like me - this is one of the hardest cards for me to make... and yet guys have birthdays just like us gals do! The swap cards are a lifesaver for me - not only do they shore up my supply of masculine cards, but they also give me lots of great ideas!

July Question of the Month

July's question of the month is...

What do you do with your swap cards? Are you able to part with them and actually send them out, or do you hoard them and adore them?

June's Cards

The theme for June is Anything Goes! You know the drill - create to your heart's content!

What is your favorite color combination?

Stephanie Wants to Know...

I have looked everywhere for a punch, template, sizzix die, whatever, for the baby "onesie" design. Someone in a card swap (not ours) made the cutest baby card that had three baby "onesies" cut from patterned paper and cute little hangers placed behind them. I found the hangers, but cannot find the onesie. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Favorite Adhesive (March's "Question of the Month")

March’s Question of the Month was: What is your favorite adhesive?
You responded…

• I use several types of glue. I think I like best the gluerunner, and then I also use the Glue dots for some of my cards.
• my favorite adhesive is Mono Tombo (or SU's SNAIL - same thing)!
• I'll say Mono Tombo. I get it through Stampin' Up or refills any store (where ever it's on sale). I like it mostly because it's easy to refill and not messy. I use to like Hermafix, but it was a pain to refill. It took a while to get use to the Mono Tombo, but I like it now!
• My favorite glues are Hermaflex, Xyron and Zots depending on the material to be glued!
• My favorite adhesives are Glue Dots. The mini and the craft size. E600 for heavy duty stuff and my trusty Sailor glue pen is always a reach away. I love it for gems and for intricate paper piecing.
• My favorite adhesive is mono adhesive.
• Therm-O-Web Adhesive Runner
• 3L tape runner, glue dots, and Mono Aqua liquid glue
  

Our New Blog!

Hi, girls... let's take our card swap another step forward - how about our very own blog?!

To be perfectly honest, I'm new to blogs. I've read other blogs before, but this is the first one I've created! So, this will be a learning process for all of us... and if it works, great! If not, oh well - it was worth a shot.

I think I'm going to move some of our newsletter content over here... such as our question of the month. You can go in here and post your answers right onto the blog! Comment about other people's answers, ask more questions (related to the question of the month, of course), etc.

This is also where our card scans will go... (I will take care of posting them)... that way, we can also all comment on each other's. If there is enough interest, I can continue to send them out via email... or, you can easily just right click from here and save onto your computer!

I want to know your input - do you want this blog open for anyone to view, or would you like to restrict it to just our group? For now I will keep it open to everyone... but let me know if you want it restricted.

Either way, I will keep the "Featured Chick of the Month" as a newsletter-only option. You can never be too safe on the web...

Anyway, let me know what you think, and we'll go from there!
