I have picked a day between November 18th and December 9th. The day that I have picked I will have random.org pick a number out of the comments left and that person will win the blog candy I am giving away to celebrate reaching 20,000 hits. The thing you don't know is which day between now and then that I've picked, so it's best to come by every day and leave a comment. (if you are joining in late you need to go back to November 18th to start leaving comments)
If you have a blog let your readers know about my blog candy too! Wanna see what the blog candy is?
I've already added more to this than shows in the picture including a few of the images from Squigglefly!
The last couple of days have gone by way too fast for me! Four days off sounded like a long time, yet here it is already Saturday!
I received the last of the cards for the One Card Swap I hosted on the RST (Rubber Stamping Together) list. You may recall the first half of this swap here. Anyway, the idea of the swap was that I would make a card and send it to the first person in the group, she would make a card trying to duplicate the one I sent her as closely as possible using only the supplies she already has on hand. She sends her card to the next person and so on until the last person sends her card to me. I had split it up into two groups and the second group ran into a couple snags with the players but it's finally complete and here are the results!
First was my card:
Designer paper, flowers - Stampcraft, verse - Firecracker Designs, dew drops for flower centers.
My card went to Kimberly Onnen and Kimberly made this:
Stamps - Floral Frenzy, ink and paper are all from Papertrey Ink.
Kimberly sent her card to Donna Bauman and Donna made this:
Flower-StampinUp, phrase-Hero Arts
Donna sent her card to Toni Pestro and Toni made this:
floral background stamp - Stampin Up, greeting - Hero Arts, little flower - Posh Impressions. The little scalloped punch is Martha Stewart and the little silver circles are from Joanns.
Toni sent her card to Laurie Gennari who completed the circle by sending me this card
flower - Stampin Up, trees - Stamp Out Cute, verse - unknown
I hope you enjoyed seeing the cards as much as I did. It's interesting to see how the cards end up different from the first one.
Well, have a happy Saturday! Thanks for looking!

How appropriate that the final card (sent to you) says "Whatever keeps you sane". LOL ;-)
They are all quite lovely cards.

Great cards! I really like the first one.
That's a clever idea indeed! I love how everone put their own take on things.

I'm not sure stampers are sane, but hey, that keeps life interesting!
What talented ladies! I love them all! This seems like a lot of fun. You could really put a twist on the sketch to show your own personality...love the "sane" one!LOL
Those are all great cards. What fun!
What gorgeous cards, I love the sentiments.
They are all pretty, but I LOVE the first two. I was browsing your blog and the first one with the embossed sentiment caught my eye right away.
Beautiful!
That sounds like a great swap idea! Fun to see the different ways people see a design.
Really hope ya don't mind, but I'd love to snag this idea for the next swap that I host. Such a fun idea. Love it!
I love the sentiments on these cards as much as the flowers!
Cool challenge and interesting to see the results! I like the card design and will lift it for my own cards!
