Some of you may remember that a while ago I organised a swap for so called ICAD cards, - 3 x 5" cards, also known as skinnies. To my amazement 23 lovely people signed up for it and we have been having great fun making and receiving these lovely cards from each other. Each participant had two partners, so made and received two cards. I will show the ones I made some time after they have been received (my last one is going out tomorrow). But last week I received my returns and it is these I will share today.
The two people I was lucky enough to receive cards from were Sue Carrington (Stamping Sue Style) and Sarah Hemphill (Vintage Figments)
So here they are, I received both a holder and a card:
Here are close ups of Sue's creations, first the holder and then the card.
Here are Sarah's
Thank you ladies, first of all for playing in my swap and then for sending me these wonderful creations!!!!
Have a great creative week ahead everyone and thank you for visiting today!!

These look wonderful and it is good to see the; I can imagine they are super in real life. I've sent mine out and looking forward to seeing what I receive from my partners. Thanks for organising this swap.
These are so beautiful! They're so different from each other, but so wonderful each in it's own way. As you said, it's such a great way to see other artists' work.
Wonderful very inspiring. I looked at pinterest today. Without reading the message i can tell if it is your work. This because you have a real own style. Thanks for showing Anneke.
WOUW these are soo gorgeous Astrid, really beautiful creations both of them.
You´ve both done such an awesome job on both cards and holders ladies, that I feel all tiny with my creations after seing these, so just hope the ladies, who gets them likes them, but I´m afraid, they´re not even close to these gorgeous creations..
Have a wonderful week ahead everyone.
So gorgeous creations, Astrid
Both makes are marvelous and so very different from each other. Astrid, I have a feeling that you make your own luck and the two ICAD cards are a result of your organization and willingness to give this a go. What fun and as I said - the two ICAD cards you received are marvelous!!

It was a brilliant idea Astrid and what's so nice about it is that we get to see so many different styles - it really is a great way to share ideas and make some new crafting friends. Hope you do it again sometime. Margie x
