Gift Bags

Good Morning All

I was asked by my friend Val J if I could make some more bags for her daughter to sell.

I love making these and decorating them.

These are just afew of them.

I think she fills them with choccy goodie or toiletries.

**********

I forgot to add these pics to the post yesterday of the gorgeous Paper Clips I received from my partner.

I think I shall use them to adorn a card or to add to a Junk Journal.

ATC's

Good Morning All

As you know, I am in a swap group on Facebook.

On my post HERE I showed you the ATC's I made for my swap partner, the theme was Valentines.

Well these are the ones I received from my partner.

They are so pretty and I shall put them to good use on my cards.

My next swap is ATC's again and the theme is Springtime.

I made these first using some prints for Junk Journals, but then thought the bunnies and Tulips was more Spring like.

I used some free papers from Making Cards Magazine years old.

I put them in individual bags and decorated up abit.

Hope my swap partner likes them.

My next swap posted last week is a layered Rosette!!

So watch this space.

Happy Birthday Vals

Good Morning All

My two friends, Val J and Val C both have birthdays today.

I made Val J's card ages ago and posted it for an Allsorts DT card HERE.

It was A Christina box die and card in Black & White.

Well here is the card I made for Val C.

Sadly the embossing does not show up too well, but it is from the Papercraft Essentials magazine that Sandra from Cotswold Crafter Blog kindly posted to me.

And Val J had brought the Sentiment stamp set & Die to match,  to Craft Club so I stamped afew of them to take home.

Added afew butterflies.

A pretty card.

*****************
In the swap group I am in on Facebook, we have just completed a swap of making at least 3 Stick Pins and packaging them nicely.
Here are the ones I received from Debbie Vignola in Florida USA.

A gorgeous Pi cushion too.

And here is my parcel to Debbie.

These are lace Stick Pins.

I made this card using a Bugaboo digi and  JND heat embossed butterflies and dragonflies.

Swap from Debbie

Good Morning All

The swap group I am in on Facebook had a swap in September and my partner lives in Corby, so we arranged to meet up when I was visiting Rick and Lorien.

Well, I made a new friend, Debbie is a lovely lady and we will meet again when I am there.

The swap was to make a Shabby Chic wall plaque and Debbie does this technique wonderfully.

I have hung this in my bedroom, love it.

Mine is Here.

Very pleased with all three.

Afew strategically placed to hide excess glue!!!
