October Stamp of the Month Swap

Time to post the Stamp of the Month Swap.  It was another fun swap!  It was definitely challenging and stretches my creativeness!  This first post is a 6x6 card.

The next below is a 4.5"x4.5".

The next one was done by Celina Little.  It is 3x6.

The one below was by Danielle Bensing and is a standard size card.  The ribbon is so neat!

The one below is a 3x6 done by Joe Ann Balles.

The next one (below) is from Wishes (Down The Middle) by Karen Hoffman

Below is my standard size card which was previously published.

Then we have a standard size card.  If you could see this close up you would see the textured paper--almost a linen look.

Next is another standard size card which has been textured and sanded!

Such talent!  The jewels just really jazz these up so much!

May Stamp of the Month Swap

All cards are created using the May Stamp of the Month - Be Yourself. The colors used are Black, Grey Wool; Hollyhock; and Blush. This stamp set is truly becoming one of my favorites very quickly. Seems like no matter what you stamp, it just turns out darling!

March SOTM - Standing Swap

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. - Thomas Moore

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother. - Italian Proverb

I thought those were a couple of great quotes for today. It reminds me that I always have so much to be thankful for every day--I'm alive and I have grandchildren. And, speaking of thanks.... below are some wonderful artwork from the Stamp of the Month swap. This was for CTMH's March Stamp of the Month called Butterfly Wings. I will update with names later today:

This was my card (inside and out) - a round card!
