I'm excited I just hope what I create measures up to all the talent in this group. I only did design on the front side and info on the back. Browsing the previous months it looks like some are doing back side designs as well? Is that normal or is that for over achievers? LOL Not saying anything about over achievers because that is normally me. Ha Ha Ha I am starting slow and will build up once I am comfortable. But if most people do front and back I will too. I would like to see some examples of how people do front and back though and still include all the info on them. Hugs and cannot wait to see what everyone makes. I ended up going in a different direction then what i originally started. (Doesnt that always happen) so I hope my "theme" is on well enough.

I know it will be great. And you do need to at least put your name, the swap name and your credits on the back (so we can remember who created the card :) ). My backs are usually simple. If you are having them printed, it's easier to leave the background white and just add text with or without a border and/or small graphic, leaving a little room around the edges. That way if Staples doesn't print them perfectly, nothing will get cut off the back.

I've even hand written my back before (when I forgot to print them, LOL), but others have done that as well and it's awesome, too. Just some way for us to remember which swap it was (theme and number) and who the swapper was!

No pressure... this is all for fun!
 
I'm in. Undecided on which style I'll create. :) I'd like to make by hand, but if time doesn't allow, or I forget (usually the case), then it will be Staples. :giggle
Off to pay.

It's so good to have you on board. Don't stress, just do your own thing. What is great about this is that the cards are always all completely different and individual. I never measure one up against another. They are all beautiful because they all have a little piece of the artist in them, which makes them so special. Looking forward, as always, to see what everyone creates this month :beat

YAY, Tracie. Honestly, the Happy Mail is so fun :). I'll PM you the other info you will need. It's really easy peasy and I can't wait to see what you create!
 
Thanks! This is out of my comfort zone a bit, but I'm excited to try!

Oh... and I forgot to put this in my original post, but I think I'll go the Staple route on this first go around.
