Homemade Card Exchange - Wanna Join?

Photobucket

Every 3 or 4 weeks some friends at work and I get together and we make cards.  Each of us designs one and then brings the materials for everyone to make the same card.  It's awesome!  It's relaxing and fun and we all leave with beautiful cards that we can mail out.  I just love getting mail - and sending it!  Sadly, it's become "old school" nowadays and most people text or call or email.  But there's something to be said about opening the mailbox and seeing a letter (and not a bill) in there for me or for my kids.  It makes my day!

Here are some of the cards we have made:







I just love them!  We've made lots more but I've mailed them off to family or friends.

That being said, I thought it would be fun to do a card swap/exchange.  Are you interested?

Here are the rules:
* Make 6 cards (all the same design).  Any occassion and any style is great.  We stamp, but you can Cricut, paper craft, anything!
* Write your name and address on a 6 1/2 x 9 inch envelope (or one about that size) and include $1.30 in postage (on the envelope).
* Mail the cards and envelope to me by April 1st.

I will sort the cards and mail them out to each of you so you will get 5 cards (all different styles.  One card remains with the hostess (that's me.)  =o)

Interested?  Email me @ crazybulldogs(at)comcast(dot)net and let me know you're in!  I'll send you my address to mail the cards.

I can hardly wait to see what you all create!
