Now that the swap is swapped...

Kind of a strange title, huh?  Well, the 2 cards I made for a swap can now be shown as the swap is done and my "new" cards are on the way to me.  So, since I didn't have anything made to show today I can show you the cards and not just the closeups!


The closeup for this card and most of the info is HERE.  I used a Spellbinder Nestability Label 2, which we do not carry at this time. I wasn't thinking about that when this card started coming together and the flowers just fit so nicely in this label. I used VersaMark ink to make the background on the Cha Cha cardstock. The flower was white but I colored it with a Copic marker to coordinate better.


This autumn card closeup was posted HERE.  Again I used the VersaMark ink to make the background. I also used white scrappers floss (dang, discontinued by the manufacturer) and colored with a Copic marker.

Yesterday I purchased a new 3 in 1 printer.  It was rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon but I got it at Walmart.  Hubby said to just get it now instead of waiting for delivery after I ordered.  It's a Canon PIXMA MP560.  AND it WORKS!  Yahoo! So, I guess I'll be selling my Windows XP compatible HP Deskjet 5440 Photo Printer with 10 new ink cartridges! I'm wanting $50 which is less than what I paid for the ink! Hopefully someone at church....  I don't have the box as I've had this great little printer for a few years and it worked great until Windows did an update. Oh well.  Must have been time.
