Thank you all for the cards - they are all stunning, I hope everyone else gets as much pleasure out of their swaps too :D

Love them all, from a novice's point of view the thing that makes them all work is that they are all relatively simple. Giving me lots of ideas and inspiration!

GORGEOUS selection of cards, Wins. My card looks all blue though. :confused: It's actually black and silver and grey.

I'm sorry Anne - apologies again for the quality of the photo - it certainly is a stunning card.

No need for apologies Win. I quite often have difficulty photographing purple or lilac cards - they often turn out blue for me.

[Winspiration]

Have taken another pic which has turned out better :)

Afternoon light is always better, morning ones do tend to have more of a blue tinge, I find - but I was out yesterday afternoon, and in a hurry to get them done before I went :rolleyes:

[Anne]

Aw, thanks Wins. That looks much more like how I remember it. :)

[Rainbowwand]

Thanks Wins, we saw some lovely Christmassy decorated houses at the weekend and i think i may be getting in the Christmas mood ! :D

[Wellington]

Fab cards everyone - I'm always amazed at the variety you get in the Birthday swaps but you'd think Christmas cards would end up sort of 'samey' IYSWIM - but sooooooo not the case :)

[Little Jan]

Lovely cards wish I had joined in but as I'm still plodding through the lot I have to make it would have been next Christmas before they were ready:rolleyes:

[Winspiration]

I'll put you down for next year's list then shall I? :p :D

[Phree]

Lovely card, well done everyone!

[blueshowbizz]
