I previously joined a card swap.  This is the 1st card swap wherein I have to create cards for all the participants in the swap.  At first, I was unsure if I can do it but the inspiration just flowed and creating 5 cards for the swap was a breeze.  I enjoyed creating them and would willingly go for another swap given that I have the needed supplies to create multiple cards of the same design. =)

Here are my cards before I mailed them off:

Here's an additional card for this challenge:
