Swaps, Swaps, Swaps and Freebies!!


Hello Friends!

Noooo, it's almost the end of January
and I still have Christmas posts to catch up on!  :O

I just love the swaps in my MAMA group,
they are so fun and the people are wonderful!
This is a Douze Jours de Noel
(Twelve Days of Christmas)
swap
where we made gifties and gathered vintage/French-themed goodies
for our partner.
These are my handmade gifties:

 A closer look:

 Hand-dyed seam binding...


Handmade tags...

Altered matchbox....

Embellished snowflake...

Embellished Eiffel tower...

I received gorgeous gifties from my partner Lisa,
which I will post next time.


 This is a Bingo card pocket stuffed with goodies
that I made for a swap in my Paper Soiree group:


And this is an altered bottle I made for a friend:

And these little houses kept me VERY busy in December:


A pink one for my friend Brenda:


 Whew!!
It's always hard for me to let go of Christmas each year...

But this year I had another big event
to keep me busy in January, which was
MY BABY GIRL's BABY SHOWER!!
Well, she is not exactly a baby :)
I will soon post pics of that wonderful event.

I am enjoying the Swap for ALL Seasons swaps;
January's theme was "Thinking of You", and the color blue:



I was very excited to finally use that little wooden
"thinking of you" tag that I've had for years :D

 We make a card and tag to fit the theme,
and send color-themed goodies along with:



And now let's get on with the Valentine's Day crafting!

This is an altered candy box I made for a swap:
 

I'm still not up to date,
I have more pics of what I've made and received,
which I will post shortly!

Cards! Vignettes! Shadowboxes! Freebies!

Hello Friends!
 
Whoa...I need to step away from the glitter
and do some blog posts!!
 
I have been having fun making cards and tags
for a swap group called Swap for all Seasons.
It's a monthly swap with a theme and color,
this month it was Christmas and green: 

 
 OK, enough green,
let's get on with the pink stuff!!
Some pictures of Vignettes' open house:
 
 
 
 
 
 I love these creamy whites and ivories:
 
 A closer look:
 Love these wings!
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes I did find a few things to buy :)
 
These are a couple of shadowbox ornaments
I made using Brenda Walton's Sizzix Shadow Box die:
 


  
And here are some images for you,
go make something cute!  :)
