Comment: Thanks for two more beautiful inspiration cards for my collection! The flower card is exceptional-- great quote, unusual color palettes, wonderful gelli prints. The fine gold lines through the petals are perfect! The quote on the butterfly card struck a nerve. It is definitely how I try to approach my life. And the bunny is extra special -- and you know why. :) It is always a great pleasure to swap with you! <3<3<3
Response: Gelli prints are still such a struggle for me but I'm glad you talked me into getting a plate because every now and then, a few turn out just right. So happy this round went your direction!

Comment: I was so excited to see you as my partner. Your artwork always inspires me! I appreciate the simple stamping on both sides of the H.G. Wells card. It allows your lovely mono prints to come front and center. But your other card, the one with the scribble flower, is spectacular! The color palette on the flower side is delicious and the tennis shoe print is genius! Excellent quotes too. These will become treasured cards I will read and enjoy often. Thanks so much. <3<3<3
Response: Always fun to create ATC's for you. Thanks for always giving me that encouragement to try new techniques!

Comment: Your cards are gorgeous! I'm so happy to be the first recipient of your cards. I love the envelope and presentation as well, cool patterns! I didn't know you could get those little index prints, those are nifty, and the Outer Banks looks lovely. Hope you get to go back again soon.
Response: I am still struggling a bit with color combinations and not overworking my gelli prints. I had pretty good success with several of the prints I did while making your cards. The Outer Banks prints seemed perfect to use with the one quote as some of my happiest memories have been created there. Thanks for your encouragement!

Comment: oh my goodness thank you for the beautiful lighthouse which even now graces my fridge. Thank you.
Response: Glad your magnet made it to you okay. I didn't have a padded box envelope so I made my own. This was a fun challenge and I may have to try it again sometime. Thanks for the prompt rating!

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful starfish card. I love that color combo (and that cheesecloth texturing). I also really like the handmade greeting card -- those foiled trees are gorgeous. It is always a pleasure being the recipient of one of your swaps! <3<3<3
Response: I have you to thank for the cheesecloth texturing. It is one of my favorites - right up there with punchella! It had been awhile since swapping so it was great to jump back in with this Gelli rolled ATC.

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card and wonderful note. :) I gave my guy a year of planned date nights for the holidays and Valentine's Day is one of them! We're making heart-shaped pizzas and playing a card game (although not the typical card game...;) ) Have a great Hearts Day and 2015! I know exactly what you mean about Swap-bot keeping more creativity in our lives!
Response: Planned date nights sound great and your valentine plans sound perfect. We are declaring a pj, junk food and no telephone or Internet day. I can't wait. Thanks for the rating - hope you have an artful 2015!

Response: You are welcome. The mix of colors turned out well and just shouted spring. I too fell in love with that die - coneflowers and daisies are my favorite. The textured cardboard has worked out very well on my plate - hope you have as much luck with yours!

Comment: Wow! I love the complexity of the colors in your prints. The bright tones are perfectly suited for the tissue paper. The envelope is great, and the greeting card is gorgeous! Thank you so much.
Response: You are most welcome. Colors have been a bit of a problem for me while printing but I thought this combination popped. I have found that using both an art quality acrylic and craft paint mixed together with the brayer on the plate actually works better for me, leaving a perfect workable consistency - not too thin nor to think. Thanks again for the rating.

And thanks for the wonderful photograph and telling me about your passion for it-very interesting. And for the extra pretty papers-love adding those to my stash-thanks for being a great partner!

Comment: OOH! I love it! I don't have any mermaid stamps, Laura. Thank you so much. I can't wait to use it with my copic markers. I really like the notecard you made. I know what you mean about adding to the collection. I am going to a show in Maryland the last weekend of the month,and I can't wait to see what is new out there. Good swapping with you! Have a good Ohio day!
Response: Have fun at your stamp show. There are so many fun stamps out there and not enough time to stamp them all up. I am happy my mermaid is a first for you. She works up nicely in a variety of mediums so enjoy! Who knows we might be in a card swap some day and I might get lucky enough to see what you do with her!

Comment: As usual your greeting card is fabulous! The bittersweet and aqua on black is so striking. Love all the textures and the color pulls you got on the butterflies (how exactly did you do that?) Is the floral on the ATC a rub-on? It is very cool (as is the ATC extra). I am always so lucky to get you as a partner. Looking forward to our "first day of Spring!" adventure. <3<3<3
Response: The colors worked well together. The envelope and ATC back were done with two tissue paper prints. I am enjoying working with those prints. If you take a close at your card, the square panels were used with the same technique but I added some clear embossing powder to add raised texture. The butterflies were cut paper I worked up with alcohol ink. I wanted to use glossy paper and of course, we can't use coated papers on our plate. The floral addition is a rub on - they are my favorite and I am dividing it I into as many projects as I can. I am not sure we will see spring - can't believe it is back to snow for us. My poor budding trees are going to go into shock. Thanks for your critique, rating and heart! :)

Comment: Thank you so much for everything. My favorites were the dragon stickers, the stamp and the little angel decoration - it's so cute! ;)
Response: Yeah - it did finally make it! I loved those little stickers too so I was hoping they might be a hit. Both my Mom and my Aunt crochet those little angels. You can starch her to make her skirt rounded and still if you like. I prefer mine soft and flat. Thanks for the rating!

Response: Yeah, that was the pattern that kept jumping out, speaking to me - now I know why! :). I was delighted after several failed attempts to find a permanent material to cut my stencils from. I'm delighted you are happy with it!

Comment: Wow thanks so much what an awesome post card you did a great job my favorite scripture too. Where did you buy the stamp set I so want to buy it. Would love it if you shared sent me stamped images and the verse. York is about an hour and a half away we adopted our Stella from animal angels in York. Thanks again.
Response: I am so glad you like it. After reading your profile I just HAD to use that new stamp set. I purchased it online at Unity Stamp Company. They often mark down their stamps for 50% off. I will stamp you up some images and get them out to you next week. Then you can wait for their next sale before ordering!

Comment: Thank you for the gorgeous ATC -- I don't recognize that embossing folder design and it really worked well. Love the colors you used. I agree we will have to find an affordable way to make larger projects using this technique. Thanks for the purple card and packaging -- you can't beat dragonflies and passion flowers. I'm always so lucky when I get you for a partner! <3
Response: I purposely chose a unique folder hoping you didn't have it. I wanted to send something very "new to you" so looks like I chose wisely. I was going for a jungle look and those colors seemed to pop out the ferns. I agree you can't beat dragonflies and purple! :)

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful "playing in the snow" card. You sure are getting good at that scene-scaping technique. I appreciate all of the details -- icy water, snowdrifts, winter berries. And, of course, I LOVE your resolution! :) Here's to making many wonderful memories together in 2014. Your friendship means the world to me! <3
Response: You are most welcome for the card. Those little details were the fun part. I love putting all these mediums to good use - so much fun goop and not nearly enough time to play with all of it. Hopefully 2014 will lend us to more of those moments!

Comment: Dear Laura, I LOVE what you sent! The shot of the spider is simply beautiful, and, no it didn't creep me out. I like spiders. One of the prettiest sights I've ever seen is dozens of spider webs hanging on the fences, all covered with frost. It was as if little elves had sneaked out in the night and tossed delicate lace doilies over all the fences and bushes. I rank that sight up with the incredible view of the Aurora Borealis in Alaska. Some things are too beautiful to ever forget. Your card of the trees and the snowy river is lovely, and I will keep it in my album of treasured photos, and enjoy it every time I open the album. Thank you so much!
Response: I almost didn't send that photo but it kept drawing me back to it. They are so brilliant in color and marking. Luckily they all live outside or I might not find them so pretty - LOL! I witnessed the northern lights about 15 years ago in my yard and they were amazing. I would LOVE to view them from Alaska - what an awesome sight that must have been.

Comment: First of all, thank you for the hand-made greeting card and the TWO ATCs! Well, as usual you taught me something new. I never would have thought to use gesso with my embossing folders. Creates a subtle interesting design and I like how you added the extra striped texture to the bottom of the ATC. But the background on the dragonfly card -- using one of your rubber stamps -- is one of the prettiest backgrounds I have ever received. It looks like painted silk! I definitely will be playing around with that idea! Thanks for the gorgeous cards and the inspiration! <3<3<3
Response: You teach me so many fantastic techniques, I'm always delighted to come up with something new to show you. The trick is getting enough gesso on to give it some nice texture but not so much that it loses all it's detail. Have fun playing - I'll be waiting for my next creative challenge!

But wait, there's more...the stuffed envie of very cool odds and ends was such a pleasant surprise. I had so much fun going through each and every one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Great swap!
Response: Yeah, I am so glad you liked all your swap goodies. I was hoping the panel I picked out for you would be a good choice. I don't sew but love looking at all the material. I make lots of cards and scrapbooks and put my leftover odds and ends in a basket to rummage through later. Well, my basket was overflowing so I thought I would stuff your envelope full. Everyone deserves to be spoiled every now and then - glad to hear that's how you felt!

Comment: Ooooh I am SO LUCKY to have you for a partner! Thank you for the gorgeous set of handmade cards with envelopes. Each is a work of art. I want to keep one in my studio for inspiration and share the rest but it will be difficult to choose my favorite. Thanks for teaching me a couple new techniques too. Fabulous swap! <3<3<3<3<3
Response: I really enjoyed making the notecards with matching folder. The rolling acrylic masking technique was a "trial and error" gone right on the very first try - almost never happens for me that way. The master board technique for my textured dies is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I love the fact each one is so uniquely different. I'm thrilled the set went to someone who appreciates them. Thanks for traveling down this creative journey with me and always encouraging me to keep trying new things!

Comment: What a lovely card! I really appreciate all the work that went into it, and the explanation of your methods was very interesting. I want to try the tissue thing you did, but I don't think I have the right kind of ink to use on tissue??? Anyway, I love the card, thanks!
Response: I really enjoyed the summer colors and the metallic card really embossed well. You can use almost any ink on the tissue paper. I think I used Memento but I think Archival would work too. A cheap craft glue stick works great for adhering it to the card stock. Much of what I do is trial and error but I enjoy it. Thanks for the rating and so happy you liked the card!

Deinitely learned some great techniques from you. Thanks too for adding the SUN for me! Yes spring is soon upon us. Love that turtle cutout too, where is that from?
Response: I am just loving these technique swaps as I often start in one direction and end up somewhere else. I almost always include some type of stamping though as it is just so versatile. The turtle is a K + Company and yes, he is lovely!

Comment: Hi Laura, I LOVE the mermaid you made for me!! :) She is AWESOME!! This project is intimidating for me as well. My mermaid has different outfits as I could never get an idea to incorporate all the neat materials we were sent. I hope my partner will like mine. I like the use of the inks, embossing powders and the heavier backing you used!! I wish I lived near me so you could teach me some things!! I love the sea horse card and will frame it an put in my bathroom. My bathroom theme is ocean and otters. I love otters.Thanks so much for the extras!! I like all the papers but really LOVE the mermaid one. So different! Thanks for a GREAT swap!! :)
Response: I am thrilled you like her. It was really a challenge and I have to admit, when I first got my kit I didn't even know where to begin. Once I got going through, it all started to come together. So glad you liked the card too - cards are my therapy! I hope to catch up with you in a future swap and who knows, maybe someday their will be a swappers retreat and we will get that chance to create together!

Comment: I LOVE this! Gorgeous colors and technique. Cute, Cute! dog on the back of the ATAC, but I was soooo sad I tore the front of the equally beautiful greeting card you made when I detached the ATAC from its front. I keep all my notes, enclosures, and letters from swaps. AND, I couldn't figure out the little square inside the card, but on examination, I'm happy to tell you I have received my first inchie! I never thought I'd like them, but now I'm intrigued. Hmmmmn . . . And I see you are a "neighbor." I actually used to live near your town about forty years ago. Again, thank you for a wonderful swap.
Response: Not only am I thrilled that you LOVE the ATC I made but also that I got to send you your first inchie. I have a friend who has collected quite a few and has done an awesome canvas for her wall with them. I hope one day to collect enough to do the same thing. So sorry that you tore your card. If I remember right, I used glue dots to hold the plastic sleeve on so it wouldn't release in the mail - should have went with something less sticky. :(

Response: Thanks! I believe the section you are mentioning is the following: I drizzled on some glossy accents and covered generously with embossing powder. I then used my heat gun until it bubbled up. While still hot, I dropped in the key and lock metal charm. Once cool, I added a couple drops of alcohol ink. Glad you like it!

Response: Wow - those got their so quickly. The snowman's paper actually had a crackled look to it. To accent and make it pop - use a glaze paint. Once dry, bend it gently to crack and go over with distress inks wiping off afterward so it stays in cracks. Then if you want it smooth, go over with a thin layer of glaze. The leaves were also done with a glaze. It is becoming a fun medium as I am finding more things to do with it!

Comment: I love your inchies, they are awesome. I cannot believe you got me two in a row. You can tell how much you enjoy making them. What kind of medium is the sun type one with the blue gem in the center?
Response: I am so glad you like them. I really do enjoy creating them. They are very time consuming but so challenging and fun. Believe it or not, the medium used is Sakura Glaze Pens. They are very smooth and glide on so nicely. I use them a lot. I often put a coating of glimmer mist down first for extra dimension.

Response: I am so glad you liked it. Yes, I was one of the lucky ones who received your winter photograph and I chuckled when I read your note and saw the photo as I had just put yours in the mail explaining how I loved to fee our birds. What type of birds gather there in the winter?
