I told you I was in a LOT of swaps! LOL But it is very fun! I am enjoying it. The first swap item I want to share with you today is a Sympathy card. It is mounted on a white cardstock base. The card measures 4¼"x5½" (when folded). I cut the green piece (Mulberry Meadow, retired) at 5"x3¾," the purple (Mulberry Meadow, retired) at 4½"x3¼," and the white rectangle is 4"x2¾." I stamped the image using one of the trees from the Good Timber stamp set by The Angel Company. It's one of my favorite sets. I left the verse/sentiment off so that the recipient can personalize it when they get it.
This next card is just something fun that I made for another Angel who is swapping something with me. The card is just a regular A2 size card and the paper is just something I have had in my paper drawer but wanted to use. The lady bug stamp was something I had purchased at Wal-Mart several years ago. I've since unmounted it and love it! It's fun to color in and it would be fun to paper piece it, too. The thank you sentiment is a retired Gift With Purchase stamp. Remember, you can get a FREE GWP stamp of your choice for every $30 you spend in product before any shipping and applicable tax costs.
The final swap item I will share with you today (though there is still lots more to come) is a 6x6 scrapbook page for a swap on Paper Wings. I am using the Juliette paper here. I love this paper! I am just about out of it so I will definitely need to get some more! This is great paper! I punched circles out of the designer paper, folded each circle in half with my bone folder and then I cut them in half, to adhere down the side of the page. It made a really nice scalloped edge. The pumpkin is paper pieced because I couldn't get the right color of ink for this particular project. I think it still turned out cute. I am eager to see what the other pages look like! I should get them back in a little while. This recipe is really yummy but makes a LOT, so it would be terrific for entertaining around the holidays.
I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far! Thanks for leaving the comments. It always makes me smile to read them! Soon I will be posting some more Christmas cards, as well as some fall and Thanksgiving themed cards, along with gift card holder cards and a few more that you'll just have to wait for.Next week my friend Christine and I are going to post the same challenge on our blog! Every Tuesday we'll have a new challenge along with a completed project by us using the challenge for inspiration. It will be so awesome if you participate in the challenges and link back to us from your blog. Be sure to let us know you are playing along because there's a little reward in it for you!
I hope you all have a marvelous Monday!!!
Hugs,

I love your recipe page and OMG, I'm so glad you posted it so we could read the recipe. That sounds sooooo yummy! Thanks for the tip that it makes a lot. I may try a half batch and use the rest of the pumpkin for something else.
