My cards:
How I used the items: striped envelope liner and purple, black, and white paper on the background (one side of the paper had numbers and the other side had an ad, possibly), the blue paper that is backing the polaroid border (was also in the bag - I cut out the photo that was inside it). The word "summer" from the bag covered up "game night", originally on the polaroid border. I fussy cut the stars and used the strip of metallic gum wrapper (?) as is.
envelope liner on the background, stenciled through butterfly die cut scrap and used the few butterflies that were left. I backed them with the light blue from a paint chip sample. The silver embroidery thread was in the bag, and I used it to attach the pretty iridescent plastic piece.
The bear was fussy cut from tea packaging. I used the ribbon as the rug under the bear. "Home" was from the tyvek tag (my heat gun had kicked the bucket, or I would've tried to alter the tyvek with paint and heat), the pink fuzzy stuff already had the heart negative space and then I used the green border as, well, a border. I used a paint chip from my stash as the background.
Host card:
I used the rest of TAD's paint chip sample on the background, b&w striped envelope liner and "summer" from AmySi, and the ribbon from huddlestonmollie. I finished it with scraps that were hanging around on my desk.

Cards received from catladybj and from Jenspirko! Thanks so much for the extras!
I'm so glad they came! I had accidentally marked that I had already received cards from catladybj and when I started sorting last night and couldn't find them....!!!
....I was so upset!
Swapping will take place this evening and I'll have them out tomorrow guys! These are all amazing!
