Well I don't mind telling you the October holiday scares me. I'm a big frady cat, thus the black cats. I love the autumn air and the color change, but the foliage dying isn't what I like to see. "To everything there is a season", so hold on until spring. I included a magnet for my swap person. I like making them, wish we had more magnet swaps going on the side. Maybe we can incorp them into the Postcard, tradingcard swap. Its just a thought. Back to my card, the back side looks like Bee instead of Boo so I think i will add "nice" in ink. Enjoy the process everyone.
|
Really l+o+v+e your card and magnets. I've never done magnets before, but think its a great idea. Why not have two things going each month, one for postcards and one for magnets.
|
OOOH!
Mine is just about ready to be mailed, have some finishing touches to add tonight will post a photo tomorrow! I didn't have time to work on it until last night! Debs & Hemi Love those posted so far! :thumbup: Happy Halloween everyone! |
Mine went in todays mail! Will post pics later!
Debs & Hemi |
love your scary post card, i posted mine for nov to encourage others to join, made a springy version for a friend for her bd. mailed mine out on Monday, i'm really getting into this postcard thing, next month will be better thanthis month, and so on... getting new ideas every day. it's fun to add things.
we haven't had a magnet swap in awhile. i really enjoy doing those too. |
