Thanks Melissa, I had fun making the shirt card.

I have finished my cards so will send them off hopefully Monday. I need to get 1 more stamp. I ran out.

Take Care

I have pm'd my address to Melissa and Kirsty. I presume Sue and Sharon still have it. If not let me knnow!! And Jayne is my sister, so if she doesn't know where i live then there is something wrong!!

Can't wait to see everybodies cards!! But no rush, you have until the end of the month!!

Well if these turn out to be anywhere near as good as the Christmas card fronts I just received in the mail today, I will be one happy girl!

I got mine this afternoon as well and I agree :cheers:

Woohoo, i'm sooo glad you have both got them!! I didn't say when i sent them cos i wanted it to be a surprise!! So i am so glad you both got them today!!

hi vicki...i am making my cards to today and just realized the word front...so its 9X13 front that can be stuck onto a bigger blank card??? i am new to swaps and the last xmas i did was the whole card...so i think this one means just the front of the card...right????thanks...hope i can compete with you guys!!! JK

Thats right Melissa!! We make them 9cm x 13cm to fit a blank kaiser cards. The kaisers are actually 15 x 10.5, so if you cards have a bit of overhang, or need to be slightly bigger, that is fine!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

I saw you other card on you blog and it looked great!!

Sign ups for next month are now up i a new thread!!

OK, I'll be first to show mine for this month.
(They are very basic though, nothing like Sharon's works of art!)
I blu-tacked them onto some Kaiser cards so you get the idea.

They are cool Sue!! Where did you get the doilies from?? I can't find them anywhere around here!!

I haven't fiished my ladies cards yet, but here is y man's bday card. I blu-tacked it to a blank card to show the effect.



and here is Jayne's man's card. I helped (made) her make them when she visited last!!

They are so cute!!! I love both of them!
Doilies are from a cheap shop...$2! (Gee I love a bargain!)

I finished too...and wondered what everyones looked like since it was my first swap...they are ALL gorgeous...how do u upload photos to this post????

Melissa, when you type a message, there is a host image button above (looks like a pic with a disc i front of it) if you click that, then browse (find your image) and host image. You will then get 3 http: addresses. Click copy on the middle one, then right click your mouse and paste it directly into the message. To close the host image box, just click its button again. To make sure it worked, click preview before you click send and i should show you the message.

Hope that makes sense!!

thanks wow that is easy and i like that i didnt have to resize myself in photoshop...easy peasy...

oops that is huge...it is on acrylic i just took some snaps but now they are in post package...so cant show with cards under

Wow Melissa, that looks great!! Can't wait to see it in real life!!

vicki to not have them so big should i check for blogs instead of for forums???

OMG Melissa!! I hope you have signed up for next months swaps!! Your cards are awesome!! You were concerned about being up to our standards, i just hope mine don't dissapoint you!!! Your cards are absolutely awesome!!

You could click the thumbnail pic, which is the top http:, but i like the big pictures, cos that way we can see the detail you have put into your cards!! (I do tend to shrink the image size on my comp before i upload them, which might make a difference?? I'm only fairly new at uploading too!!)

thanks....your daughter in the pic is so cute...

Melissa, your cards are just stunning! I LOVE them!
(And how could you have been worried about your cards? You are obviously very talented!)

posted my cards to u today Vicki...

Hoping to post minw tomorrow when my kids are better. This is my first go at this sort of thing so they're pretty simple.
