Here is my July swap made by Angela.
The calendar is a very clever idea and as you probably know, I especially love square cards! A fresh, bright and summery card.
Thank you Angela.

sorry but I'm not upset at my card; but :sad: in 3 days no-one has said a blimmy thing :sad: me thinks chilli flakes and glitter isn't that bad :sad: (and the chilli flakes & glitter were actually quite blinking hard work)

Ahh Millburn your card is wonderful, I haven't had the time to look any of the card swaps until now! I can see your point this happened to me once and I sulked until eventually someone said something! Now it sounds like I'm just saying it but I'm not it is a truly lovely card x chilli flakes and glitter are an inspired idea, Joanna would be proud of you! It's tricky to see in any photo details like the use of real chilli but it looks like red and gold gilding flakes.
Also Kate has a discerning eye and loves it x

Oh Millburn, I'm so sorry. I tend to only comment on the card swaps if I've joined in with them. That's not very good of me, is it?
Anyway, your card is just gorgeous. I adore House Mouse and this card is inspired! I would never have dreamed of using real chillies. You're a clever gal. xxx

Millburn, I am sorry I didn't comment. I have been camping at the weekend, then on Sunday night my very best friend announced they were engaged and we had an impromptu party and Monday was a bit of a wash out for me.
Your card is gorgeous. xxxx

Millburn, chilli flakes! That's fantastic. The card is gorgeous.
I've not ignored it either, been organising my brothers wedding this weekend and the last of the relatives went home this afternoon, so I've only managed to pop on here for a couple of minutes in the last couple of days.
Definitely a hot, hot card :up:
I'm going to raid the spice cupboard tomorrow!
(I made a card decorated with pistachio nut shells which I had embossed gold and filled with seed beads and glossy accents, signed it "I went nuts trying to think what to get you" - and no one noticed!)

I love the use of colour on the Sunshiney card, and a calendar is always useful so to make one like this is really special. :)

I don't do the swaps cmazza but I thought you sent a card to the person under your name in the list:

We've no RW :sad: she's got computer problems
So anyone got any ideas? and anyone want to organise it?
I'll organise it, but ideas :thinking:
Victoria

How about 'Summer Days' as one option? Or 'Pet's Corner'?

10-08-2011, 07:07 PM
Or if you live where I do 'Rain' or 'Wind'!
Millburn
10-08-2011, 07:09 PM
that's 3 good options; I'll go start a thread and we can all sign up :D
I have to be honest I love doing the swaps, having a theme helps stretch me :D

Millburn - your 'chilli' card is a fabulous take on the 'hot hot hot' theme, brilliant idea & brilliantly executed! :cool2:
LadyK - how clever, you've managed to get both themes into your card, with the hatpins and the hot can-can girls, fab, love it! :cool2:
