"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before."
-Dieter Uchtdorf
My friend has it on her blog and every time I read it I get goose bumps and want to get back into being creative. I've been on hiatus for about 2 years and am so excited to have time to play with paper, paint, fabric, everything!!! :)
This is a new card swap group I've joined. There are only 3 of us so we decided to make 2 designs, and 6 of each one. BIG mistake. Way too much work. We won't be committing to that next month!!! Still, the results were so fun!
Here is a sample of the goods!
This is a gift card envelope. Look at the inside too. Very clever ... and super cute!
These are the 2 cards I finally put together!
It was tough to find 2 good designs in one month.

Just an inside fact. Hot air balloons are my 'good luck' charm. When I saw this stamp set, I had to buy it and was determined to make something work! I love this simple little card!
The card that didn't make the cut. This is the first card I made. The thought of cutting out that many flowers in order to make 18 cards made me develop some facial ticks. So in the end, this one didn't make the swap cut.
