I joined another group on Facebook called "Project Life Card Swap". In this group, you sign up for "themed" swaps. You make eight of one kind of a themed journal card and receive eight different themed journal cards back. I signed up for two swaps. The first swaps I could be involved with after joining were for October. This one was called "Color Theme - Autumn".
I decided to do a Mixed Media piece. I used very colorful napkins, kept the top layer and modge podged pieces of it to my journal card. When they were dry, I trimmed the edges and added the bling. I loved them but wasn't sure how they would be perceived by the group...
The second swap was called "Getting Cozy for Fall". Again, doing Mixed Media, I created these. There were alot of different steps involved but the final result was interesting. The longest part was letting the piece dry before sending it to the hostess...
So, what did I get in return you ask? Take a look...
The one on the left is "Getting Cozy for Fall" and the one on the right is "Color Theme - Autumn". I was SOOOOO blown away by the quality of the cards I received back that I couldn't stop doing the happy dance. They are AMAZING!! And I can only hope that those people who received my cards are just as happy with mine as I am with theirs... :)
So, the following month (November) I signed up for FOUR swaps... ou vey!! :)
I am in this group too and I LOVE it! The women are amazingly talented, supportive and encouraging...it is so much fun!
