TWINCHIES
2" x 2" Swap Due June 1st

For those of you who find the inchie swap a little too small or fiddly, how about this one, cards will be 2" x 2" square, again decorated and embellished - these are a good size for using as card toppers too. There is a few restrictions on theme (no porn, religious, political), any type of art medium or embellishments, whatever you prefer to use, just make it your best work! Please pop each card in a little envie to protect your work, and add your user name, date and where you are from on back of each card.

The swap is for 3 cards - maximum of 12 cards.

Another set of wonderful cards arrived today from Mpurr - I just love fondling all the cards when they come in and drooling over them, wishing they were all mine, everyone is making a fabulous job of these. Thanks also for the extra - hard to choose????? Loved the bits of text on these!
mpurr
05-22-2008, 12:20 AM
Thank you! I am glad they arrived safe and sound. I almost couldn't part with them, because they were such a challenge for me to create - normally my work is a lot more abstract, and not as big. I love doing inchies, but these were pretty fun too.
Maybe it will inspire me to do more 'twinchies'. :cute:
Busymom's cards have arrived - another great set to add to the rest, thanks also for the postage stamps. Almost all the cards are now in, and soon as I get last few, I will swap out and send off to everyone. Off now to leave rep!
Cards have arrived from Goatgoddess (thanks for the extras ) and lola, (thanks for the goodies), both sets of cards are gorgeous. We're almost there now, just a couple of sets to arrive!
As soon as Kynaras cards have arrived, I will post out to everyone, hopefully they will arrive tomorrow!!!!!!
All cards are in - Kynara yours arrived and thanks, they are fabulous.
Well girls, I have spent most of the evening swapping these out, I have taken a pic of all Twinchies including hostess gifts and a Twinchie gift from me to all of you. Piccie in my gallery.
I will get these posted out to you over the next couple of days, I hope you like the ones you receive. Don't forget to leave comments in this thread when you receive your returns and also please leave rep for each other. If you wish to leave feedback for me please feel free to.
Thanks to all of you for participating and making this a fun swap!
