That right….we just need to have a Holiday Card Swap! Can you believe that 3 months from yesterday it will be Christmas Day!!! YIKES – Yesterday afternoon I sat down to go over the calendar with John and when reality hit me that it was September 25th….I quickly sprouted some gray hairs and then calmed down….took a deep breathe and then decided…it’s time, we need a card swap!
Here is the scoop…I love to do this on my blog and I do share each and every one of your cards as remember the motto….
“What we do is from the heart – not Hallmark”
So….with that said, let’s help each other out with some inspiration! I find that learning from others is so rewarding. Please consider participating…if you are a beginner, a demonstrator…a child/grandchild of a stamper (hint – hint…Caleb are you reading this?)
The date for you to have your card to me is…
Friday, October 21st – that is 3+ weeks away!
Each week I will send out reminders to help keep you motivated to participate. All you need to do is make a card, the theme of Holiday – let’s go with either Thanksgiving or Christmas because of the date of being back to me….and in return – YOU WILL RECEIVE a beautiful card from your NEW BFF!!!
Please send your card along with a self addressed and stamped envelope back to you to:
Susan Itell
15002 Randall Lane
Williamsport, MD 21795
This is always FUN…and I know that this Card Swap will be no different. If you have never participated with me and a swap, please give it a consideration – I love to see your work and others feel the same!
Until tomorrow…Tuesday Tips, we are having a chat about loosing those photopolymer stamps!
p.s. – I you remember, please put on the outside of the envelope – CARD SWAP….this helps me as I have a basket in the kitchen that I put them in ! 🙂
Susan, thank you for doing another swap. It is a lot of fun. I will gladly be part of your swap. Hugs,Ellen Hinds
I’m in!!!
🙂
Count me in!!! Love to swap!!!
Who Hoo! Count me in, too!
I’m in too! A first for me! Thanks Susan!!!
Wonderful, I’m excited to join in. Thanks for hosting. Caleb isn’t quite sure yet that he wants to join….he said he’ll “think about it” only because he is a little shy about having his project “out there” for everyone to see. I’ll work on him though, and I’m sure he will do it. We love the Jack Russell cartoons you’ve been using lately. 🙂 Have a great week everyone!
Tell Caleb I would love to receive his card. I am sure he makes it with love and from his heart and that makes his card simply beautiful! Go Caleb!
Yes! A question for you that others might be wondering too ~ Does the card have to be with current Stampin’ Up! products, or can it have other products on it as well? Thanks, Susan!
Hi Karen….No, it does not have to be current but that would be helpful for others to get an idea of the new catalog! I just adore seeing the ideas that everyone comes up with!!!
Oh the stress is starting to rise up to my chest. But, I love these swaps! I vote for the anything goes since I have a whole stash of other brands of goodies. But, I can try to use mostly SU. Now, do I wait for the final hours or start now? I know it will never be good enough but I could keep creating until I am pretty much satisfied. Do I CASE and change things up? Oh good grief, something tells me I will be in therapy before Christmas! Then, to await what wonderful card I will get back in the mail….. Maybe I will get Caleb’s and what a joy that will be, or his mother’s, or Jeanie’s who knows? Whatever I get will be a gem for sure and one I will display. Thanks Susan (I think) for volunteering to host this event!
This will be my first time joining in. Now Chris has asked all the internal questions, I’ll just have to get to work. What fun!
I will join the swap. Already my schedule has been so busy it will be a nice break to stop to enjoy making a card and not doing all my things that I am working on before winter sets in.
I am looking forward to this.
Yes, I’ll be part of the fun too! Thanks, Susan for the motivation to start my holiday cards Right after I finish my granddaughters first Birthday card and my son and daughter-in-law’s anniversary card and oh yes Halloween cards for a few..:)
Looking forward to it. I always love your swaps.
I am always nervous to put my stuff out there for others to see, so Caleb, you’re not alone. But the love and support from everyone in this group makes it worthwhile and much less nerve-wracking. Count me in.
Yea! A card swap. I was hoping you’d do one soon. And your due date is far enough off that I can collect up some stuff from the new catalog to use.
