This a card I made for Travis Lutz in Charleston, WV.   He has cancer and is not doing well.  It is also my first attempt at embossing.  
A card made for Mary Farrington in the USA-CardMaking group.   Swap is for 3/2012 Anything Goes. Hope she likes it.

Two cards I rec'd yesterday.  Both frm the Card Craft group. The top card is from Anne Wittman and the bottom card is from Elizabeth Cooper.  They both were swap cards.  Aren't they nice!!

My first RAK (Random Act of Kindness)  and it is from Lynn Eagan in Colorado Springs, CO.  On the inside it says "May the Luck of the Irish Be Yours Today,  Happy St. Patrick's Day.   3/2012
Such a lovely card, and many thanks to Lynn for her kindness.

Just was looking at my cards that I have sent out.. Think I need another rubber stamp.  The wheat stamp is over done, for sure. 
This is a card I made to day for Marianne Skriver in Denmark for the World Wide Paper Crafters.  It was a Sponging - a - Layer trchnique, not sure my card meets the requirements.  It was for the March Swap. 
I think I have lost my inspiration lately.  And I over loaded my swaps this month.  Think I'll take a break in April.  
Another really pretty card, this one is from Karen Rupert.  The group is USA-CardMaking and the swap is Anything Goes - a free style card.  Date 3/2012.

This a card I rec'd today from Judy Parr in Wales, for our CardMaking group.  It is the Sketch Technique for March, 2012.    Very lovely and well done.  It only took 5 days to get here.  Amazing! 
Not to happy with this one.  But it is what it is.  This is a swap card for the cardmaking group I belong to.  Judy Parr was the host and designed the technique for this one.  It is for March 2012 and this one goes to Gabby Kime in Jackson, MI.   Hope she likes it and can over look the flaws.

Made this card today, but the real one the ribbon blends in better than this photo shows.  For some reason the ribbon looks yellow, it is actually orange.  This card is embroidered and stamped.  It is for the March 2012 swap called Alpha Swap . It had to be animal, flower or color that starts with an "O".   I chose the color ORANGE.   And this card goes to Trish Davey in Australia.   I hope she approves.

I made this card yesterday.   It is (I believe) called the sponged on layered look.  I used Distressed Ink, a rubberstamp and ribbon.  My first try at this ink technique, but will try it again.   I need to get my paper strips torn and attached better, also judge my distance for the stamp better.  This card is attached to a black card and has a black envelope to go with it, but all will be sent in an envelope same color as ribbon.
I decided to send this card to Chardon High School in Chardon, OH. This is where they had the 3 shot  and killed, others injured.  The school wants to paper a wall with all the cards they receive.
