Card Chain Swap

 Morning and time for the Card Chain Swap Reveal- 24 cards were exchanged. I went with the Black/White and one other colour option and my card went to Robyn in Australia. I used AALL&Create stamp set, background stencil from My Favourite Things and the corner stickers I found in my planner journal-only had it about 4 yrs and use it for listing challenges but they were tucked in a pocket lol.



PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER     


This was my card from Joanne in USA.

  3. A gorgeous card Carol, sure to make someones day when she recieved it. I think the one you got is lovely too, so nice to do this, loved it when we did it on Do-crafts. Do you remember the challenge we had on there where you made a card and then sent everything you used on it to the random person and they had to make one same but different, good times. xx
