Swap info

I am so sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have been having major issues with my computer and blogger.

For those of you who joined my swaps, all 3 groups have basically the same info.

**They are due to me the first week of July.
**They need to be 4x4 inch full cards
**If you are in the limited supply swap, please use what I sent you. If you want to add a brad or something, go ahead, but please make sure to use what was in your packet as well.
**Include enough postage for me to send back your swaps (the same amount it took to mail them to me, plus an extra just in case)

You can mail your swaps to me at

A*Muse swap update!

The swaps are full! Thank you to all who signed up!

If you joined, please send me an email at coribravo1014@aol.com and I will get you all of the details.

Ok, now how about another group? This one will be different and oooh so fun! For this swap you will again need to create 4x4 cards. The tricky part though is this...

I will mail out the images, patterned paper, and embellishments to each participant. The only thing you will have to (be allowed to) provide is the cardstock for the card's base. Kind of a limited supply swap. I think it will be uber neat to see what 7 different stampers can do with the same basic supplies.

You up for it? Please email me at coribravo1014@aol.com if you would like to join. This one will definitely be limited to the 7 swappers so that I can afford to mail everyone their materials.

Ok, I'm gonna give this another shot...

Won't you please join my little A*muse swap? Pretty Please?? I really need the points for the Ambassador contest. The "famous" bloggers are killing me in points cuz everyone wants to do their swaps, lol. You get 30 points for every swap with 6 participants.

So, pretty please won't you swap with me? This time around I would like to try and host a 4x4 inch full card swap. I need 6 participants...I'll be the 7th, cuz I don't count. The cards will be due to me 2 weeks from the date the swap is closed.

To sweeten the deal, I'll even throw in a great surprise prize to one lucky swapper. I'll let my 5 year old pick out his favorite card and then send the winner a prize along with her/his swaps. Can't tell ya what it is, but it will be from A*Muse!

Maybe the begging is working...
