At the end of June I shared the card I made for the Christmas card swap. I managed to snap pictures of the cards before they were packed up a couple of weeks ago.

Glitter and Bling Swap

These are the cards I received from the glitter & bling swap. It is funny how similar two of the cards are but they are both beautiful. In person you can see the shiny glazed sparkle on the Crushed Curry cards. I'm loving the new In Colors. Diane Clark-Sutton, Jane Hignite Loni Holt, Sue-Lynn Bock Virginia Haverick, Wendy Leftrick
