Hi you all!
First of all a big thank you to Kat for all the hard work she puts into this postcard swap. This swap functions so well, because Kat does all the swapping and mails out the cards. This is the third year running that it has been such a success!
Here are the cards I received:
Pearl (no blogsite given)
and last, but NOT least
Thanks to all who took part, and for the high standard of art involved.
Now to Manon's Paper Saturdays
I have made some paper spirit dolls/goddesses), a great way to use up small scraps. You can download the free template (and many others) HERE at Stampington's.
This one just got some little paper scraps instead of a skirt so as not to conceal all of the lovely Graphic45 paper underneath!!
And I have made them into the June page for my calendar.
Okay, enough for today! Have a great weekend, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Love your post card swaps.
ReplyDeleteThe are dolls look fantastic, will have to go look for that template.
Its a great calendar page as well.

You got one of my postcards -- the whispering shell. Glad to see it out in the world! Seems like these cards take on lives of their own once we liberate them!
