I just hosted my very first card swap and I decided to make everyone who joined a card to say thank you. My card swap was called 'Wheely Fun'. The idea of this card swap was to put our wheels to use- every card has a wheeled image on it.
So in keeping with that theme I made thank you cards for everyone using a wheel and I needed to keep the cards quick and easy because I had to make so many of them. I used the 'Kindness' wheel for my main image and then colored in the flowers using my SU Markers. For my background I used my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder, but I left about 1 1/2" along the bottom untouched. Then I scored a line just below the dots, added a thank you sentiment, and stamped a flower on each side and again I used my SU markers to color in. I have decided to leave the cards blank inside. My ribbon is from Offray.
I have another (close up) picture of these cards in my gallery in case anyone would like to see them.
My first card swap has been so much fun, thank you to everyone for joining my very first swap. I have been putting pictures of all the 'Wheely Fun' cards that I received into an album in my gallery. If anyone would like to see the swap cards they can be found here:

Great job! I thought your idea of using wheels was awesome. They seem to get neglected a lot and they are so neat when used. Doing this swap made me realize I need to use them much more. Thanks to you for the idea. Can't wait to get my cards in the mail. LOL Excited!
