Im tired of trying to stay away from you………

Good evening, are you having a fun Saturday? Well day i got to play in the craft room all day! Ive worked hard this week and i really needed to get my card made for a swap im in on Swap bot. Swap-bot is an online service that organizes group swaps and a community of creative individuals. Swap-bot takes the hassle out of participating in group swaps by organizing all of the participant information and doing all of the partner assignments. On Swap-bot, you can host swaps, join swaps, and chat with other swappers from all over the world. Give it a try!

So, i joined the ‘One card, One partner’ swap
After reading my partners profile it sounded exactly like mine! lol

She is a huge Twilight fan (so am i, but then who isnt) Instantly i knew what i wanted to make and what i wanted to use, so I dug out my stamps and found my un-inked Edward stamp from the Roll Call kit, i knew it would come in handy one day he he, and i was just dyeing for a chance to get my copics out of their box again, i feel so sorry for them ; )

a little side view….all the layers have been mounted with 3d foam pads

Double stitched with my sewing machine…..

The text backing paper has been hand stamped with PTI text style background stamp

onto Basic Grey Basics White D/P

Black button twine & Licorice Divine Bakers Twine has been wrapped round the card and tied with a

Deep navy blue Button. Each corner has been adorned with a mini black brad

Inside the card…..

OK, last photo now I promise!

I really wanted to add something extra to the parcel, I read in my swap partners profile that she loves to write and has a few pen pals. As you all know i love my sticker machine, now i would never dream of EVER cutting up a good book for the sake of crafting with it but the book has been read a few times now and the pages were starting to fall out so i figured that on this occasion i was allowed to cut some pages up.

I made up a lovely set of Recycled Twilight Stickers/envelope seals. I hope these come in handy.

Believe it or not, this is the first card ive made since September last year! Hence all the photos, i was quite proud of myself for actually finishing the card and not just scrapping it like i have done so many times over the last few months. And im going to enter it into some challenges too : )
