Halloween Card Challenge

Simple but took me forever to complete. Cards are definitely not my strong point and something I need to challenge myself to do more of. But here's mine:

That's a great card! I love the house stamp!

It is a stamp but I'm not sure who it is by. I got it in a "Stamped Image" Swap just this week!

I have been seeing the "stamped image" swaps. I think that is such a great idea! Stamps are sooo expensive (in my humble opinion) and this way you get so many new images without having to put in the $$$. Plus, they are cheap to mail, too!

Hey Erin! I've been trying to comment on your blog but blogger is being hateful to me! So here's what I wrote:

Hey Erin. I really like your blog! Your creations are so beautifully awesome!! I need to take lessons in card making from you.

Maybe we can get a stamped image swap together over here on Inkadink.

thank you for the comment!! darn that blogger.

If you want to do a stamped image swap, I'm game. )

I'm no expert on this, but I think what you do is that everyone who wants to participate sends stamped images out to all the other participants. That way everyone get a whole bunch of them! Correct me if I'm wrong!

Helen is correct. The way the group I was in organized it was like this: We post the announcement to get all the participants interested. One person is designated as the "Host". She gives us her mailing address. We stamp our image(s) onto cards for as many participants as we have. Usually you stamp them in black or brown ink onto white or off-white cardstock. That way, you can use them for most anything. Then we mail our stamped images along with a self-addressed, stamped evelope to the host. Once she has received them all, she divides them all up and sends them back out to all the participants. You get new images from everyone who played. We had about 8 participants and my envelope was full of images...probably 20 of them!

So if you guys want to play, I can go create a thread and get it all started. Anyone interested??

I'd be interested! I wish I had more stamps.

Me too, the only problem is I'm in England so I'd have to chat with the 'host' and see if they would mind if I sent them the money to post it back for me instead of the stamps.

WOW...Look at all the great cards.

Here's my attempt

Wow, that's a great card LeaVon!! Did you stamp on some of the letters in the title? Looks great!

All the cards came out great. I'm going to have to check out the stamped image swap as well. I never done one either but it sound like fun.
