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...

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

So this is my final story....about the Christmas ATC Swap Cards....we had 14 wonderfully talent ladies join the swap. I like to THANK each and everyone of them.
The holiday mail made this swap a little hard...but we made it. It's over.
I have some wonderful other ATC swap planned...watch for them.
Everyone that received a gift from me... (7 lucky folks) I do hope you all enjoyed them.
And Thank you to Liz and Keni for both of your wonderful gifts. These two ladies mailed me 2 wonderful ATC cards...which was a unexpected treat. And they both were beautiful.
Well on to the next swap as I said is...coming soon. Join as a follower so you will know what going on here.
Or drop by and see.
Takecare...and Happy New Year to All
