2017 August Card Swap - BIRTHDAY theme; Movement

Our theme for the August's Card
Swap was "BIRTHDAY"!

This theme is an annual one for our ladies to take and shine with their creativeness - and who doesn't need extra birthday cards?!  The challenge was to make something that MOVES on the card creation!

With the start of the new school year and all the scheduled hustle and bustle - we held our swap at the high school media center!  

April held a "Make and Take" paper craft that was a complete success! (This photo does not do this cute little gift holder justice... I am sorry).  This holder can hold a variety of fun things and would be perfect for a gift, reward or even a placeholder at a table for guest!  We also had a demonstration of the new stamping platform by Tim Holtz.

We had 10 card swappers this month - these ladies brought the STYLE and CREATIVITY to this challenge - WOW!  Just wait and see!

Thanks for joining us and letting us share our card swap for August with you!  Here is a link for the  "Christmas in July" themed cards


Next month's challenge is to create a "Harvest" card with the challenge to use a ONE WORD stamp, multiple layers and a die-cut!  This should be fun!  Be sure and check back for next month's swap!
