168 Cards Complete

108 to go before October 27. 54 to complete before November 10. Then I will be done for awhile. No more swaps for me until after the holidays. Below are is a picture of the cards I completed for the swap. (I took the pictures with my phone but I can't really say that is why they look so bad. I can; however, say that is why I don't take photos of food.)

I used Picasa to create the collage of pictures. I highly recommend Picasa for posting photos to your blog. You can easily create collages and post them directly to your blog with Picasa. Once the picture is posted to your blog your blog readers can click on it and it will enlarge. You can choose the background color and there are different layouts to choose from for the collage. If you have any questions, let me know and I will try to help you out.

If you are interested in seeing what I do with the sketches I mentioned in this post, you can compare sketches 1-12 to the photo above and you can see that I don't always follow the sketch exactly and I usually add extra embellishments. You can also compare the two and if you are a scrapbooker just imagine your photos where I placed recipes (A1, I thought of you when I made these.)

I hope I did not shock anyone too much with the photo. I also hope I didn't raise anyone's expectations too high because that WILL not become a normal occurrence.
