New Cornbread Kid Swap is open for Sign ups....

Hi everyone...
Well I finally got the next swap together...
I know it would have been nice to get this swap going before Valentines Day... since it has to do with hearts...since you all choose Hearts & Love as the theme in the poll. I came up with this idea.
Of course I am adding a twist...
It is called "Love of hearts, since I got more vote for Love... so this swap is only called Love of Hearts, but your heart must have an Americana look to it !
So you will be right on time for Lincoln BD, Washington BD,Presidents Day, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July and Veterans Day to boot !
But also have a heart shape an be about your love of ATC cards.
Those are the rules...
To sign up make a comment here on this post or and leave your email.
Ask questions before you join in please.
Signups are from Feb 9th until 13th.
I was asked to extend the signups until the 16th...and since I have a good heart...LOL ...I will. I will have to work fast but swap names will still be emailed on the 16th.

Partners names and addresses will be sent out to you by 16th.

Tutorial Tags for my Friend

I made this ric rac edge round tag last night to show a friend how it is done.

Now this is a swap site so I am swapping this ...How To : with you all.

Enjoy...

First.....

I made a page of my handpainted designs printed them in circles and printed them out on my printer.

Second...

Then using my ric rac edged scissors cut leaving a little white edge.

Third...

Punched a hole and tied on some thin yute.

You can use any edged scissors...schalloped would be cute.

See the pictures above.

I am sick right now sure I could have made these better...but hope this helped my friend.

She seem to need them right away.

Back to bed. LOL
