Card Swap...

I joined a card swap this year and just got my first set of cards back. It was so fun to get them!  The theme was Thinking of you/Valentines...and this is what I got...(two of each card)...I opened up the yellow flower one so you can see the cute thinking of you on the inside...

 The red "plain" card is what I made, the other darling cards are what I got in exchange for my boring cards.  I traded up!  There is some tulle on my card that you can't see, but it's still pretty plain compared to the others.  I will have to step it up a notch next time!  Thank you Lydia S. for organizing this, and thank you Connie C. for inviting me to join!  It is going to be fun to get new cards this year for different occasions. 

And speaking of cute cards...here are some samples of ones I recieved as gifts from my very talented friend Teri S.  She took some cards already printed with cherries and embellished them...so cute!  And then she made me some wedding cards with all the little pieces of the bride and groom clothes...darling!  I love making and using homemade cards...and I especially love GETTING them!
