Mystery Swap #4

Look at all the goodies I got in mystery envelope swap # 3. Victoria at Things I learn from Bear was my partner.  THANKS Victoria!!!!  Tee at The Altered Paper is the Host.  Take a peak at their blogs.  I am having a great time with these swaps.  You have to try and make something using at least 75% of the items.
Here is a picture of my goodies:

Here is a picture of the tag I created:

The only thing of mine I used was some distress ink for the tags and ribbon to give them an aged look.
Have a wonderful day, and thank you so much for dropping by.  Please leave a comment and if you are a new follower let me know, I would love to visit your blog too.

Mystery Swap #3

Look at all the goodies I got in mystery envelope swap # 3.  Shawn was my partner.  THANKS SHAWN!!!!  Tee is the Host.  Take a peak at their blogs.  I am having a great time with these swaps.  You have to try and make something using at least 75% BUT thats almost impossible.  You will have so much left over you can make many more things with all the goodies!!!  I love that little image on the right that says who picks your clothes!?!?  I cant wait to figure out what to use that on!

The ATC Card using some of my goodies:

I visited a blog today-Sandies(she is actually providing the prize for the challenge) and saw they needed more people to enter their ATC Challenge so I thought well perfect,

 I will make an ATC and enter the ATC Challenges Blog, Anything Goes/All things Summer

 (So I used the admit one & ballet dancer since many people go to cultural events during the summer)

Also the burlap fabric in the background, I bought to make a pillow, has anyone seen a link to a free pattern to make a cute pillow with burlap?

Mystery Swap #2 with Michelle (my partner)

WOWZA!!! (according to Urban Dictionary:)  

1.	Wowza
	A suprisingly amazing,oh my gosh, out of the ordinary expression. I got a ton of great stuff from my mystery swap partner Michelle hosted by Tee at The Altered Paper.  I am having a great time with these mystery swaps.  Check out Tees blog and Michelles blog. Remember we have to use 75% of the stuff in a project (lets just say that I made a tag but I could make TONS more stuff with the items she sent)  I love it all but there was a little glassine envelope with vintage stamps and I just love them!!! My best friend was born in 1969 so I am going to put this tag on her Christmas present.  Thanks so much Michelle!!! Here is the loot: Here is the tag: Its beginning to feel a little like Christmas!!  (can you hear me singing??) I just want to share this picture I took it was almost dark and the picture is blurry but can you see this cute bird eating on my sunflower??  Have a great weekend!   Hugs, Kim

Graceful Beauty Tag

I am on design team of  Dezinaworld and this vintage image is from her Graceful Beauties set, the images always make me wonder what the lady might have doing when this photo was made and the leads to where did she live.  I must find a source for old vintage lace and trims to use with all the wonderful images.

 this tag was created using the paper towel (torn and crumpled) inked technique with a few added inked areas, a handmade paper envelope(I didnt make that) with a little notecard inside, topped with a green fibers. 

Have a wonderful day! 

OH!   I got to get busy;yesterday I received my mystery swap(hosted by Tee)

from Jenny.  You can click on their names to go to their wonderful blogs.  My envelope has some fantastic items. I will be posting pictures later.  Also, we had to use 75% of the items to make something so please come back and take a look at what I received and what I made.
