I dont like Halloween either. Your pumpkin soup card is very cute.
I pulled out a few things in one pull and made a few cards from what I pulled. So your pull plan seems to work for you and I suggest you go with it. I plan to dip my hand in the bag sometime soon.

Signing you up now Karch - welcome.
I know what you mean nanvan. I've been trying to pick really quickly, without too much 'feeling'. I sort of knew it was one of the wooden bits. I will probably have a go and choose two items. I think that will be hard, as the colours/themes may be very different, so a batch of 8 or 10 sounds just the way to go. I'll let you know how it goes, but it won't be until next week now. I will take a few blank cards, and some watercolour pencils and my Pitt Pens with me, so if I create things it will be very random
I can't just sit and watch TV in the hotel rooms of an evening. I'd go stir crazy.

Thinking of you all and this swap today. I added more items to my luck dip bag today. I will catch you all tomorrow hopefully with photos.

OK....got two cards done from my 'dip bag', so I'd like to join this swap.
My first card- Afternoon Delight- I used an auto collant crystal frame from my 'dip bag'
Second card - Dancing for Dad - used a Tim Holtz paperdoll from the 'dip bag'

NY Junkie, coffee with hearts? That must be a card just for me. LUCKY dip? I love both cards. Could you mention which items started your creative journey for the cards. I am interested in that part.
I realize it could be tea in those cups, but I am thinking coffee, coffee, coffee.

CastleQueen5----sorry about not mentioning my 'lucky dip'. I edited that post to include my inspiration. I have the info written on the back of the card, too.
Third card - F is for Frog - Lucky Dip item was the clear F image by Tim Holtz.

NYJunkie, love your 3rd card, too - and especially like your titles and knowing what you used from your dip bag.

Oh I am so thrilled to read your inspiring Lucky dip explanations. I would have never guess that on the first one.

I know you can't really see the crystal frame, but I've had those sticker-frames for years and wanted to use them for something.
Here's my last card and the 'dip' was the chipboard A:

My cards are done and will be in the mail either tomorrow or Friday.

No No, I can see the crystal frame, I would have just never guessed it was your lucky dip item. I guess mainly because of the cups and other fun things, I thought maybe one of those started your inspiration. It makes me wonder if I could start a card in that same way. I seem to work the other way. I need some new tricks. Think outside my box for a few cards.

Finished my cards.
#1 Embrace the Journey - dip = the cream colored scalloped edged paper in the middle and the image of the rider and horse; collage, Tim Holtz text, copper metallic paper tape & washi tape
#2 Collect Beautiful Memories - dip = small blue flowered piece from greeting card and image of child; collage using decorative papers, Tim Holtz text & ribbon
#3 Use Your Imagination - dip = the sculpture image (leftover from earlier One Eye Swap); collage using background cut from magazine and found image & text
#4 Work of Art - dip = the image of art nouveau woman and the flower ring (this was a wreath that I cut down to create a flower head piece); collage using background cut from an old children's book, found images, Tim Holtz text
