A SWAP I DID EARLIER IN THE YEAR

These are photos of a swap I was in on one of the blogs last year.  I won't mention the blog ning site as it didn't turn out too well for me but I enjoyed doing it.  We were supposed to make tags & put trims on them.  A certain length & width but I decided to throw in quite a few extras.  Well one of the girls I swapped with just sent some trims & no tags the other who had just had an operation did okay with what she sent me but I won't enter another swap on that blog though.  This is what each person received from me.

WEDDING CARD FOR A FRIEND

I have a friend who got married recently and he is always playing pranks on me so I thought I would return the favour.  This is the card I made them for their wedding.  If you knew Mick you would understand he cracked up about it.  I am making up for it though by making them a small album complete with photos though.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM AUSTRALIA TO ALL

CARDS I'VE BEEN MAKING

Some of these images are stamps while some are digital images.  All coloured with my copics.  I have not put sentiments on them so I can use them for whatever I want.

Redonkulous design digital image, spellbinders die, want2scrap bling & martha stewart punch around the page

SCHOOL ALBUM & ALTERED BOOK BOX

The album was a kit from A scrap in time which came with everything in the kit to finish like this.  I absolutely adore this kit & wish they would do more to this standard.  The book box Teresa purchased & sent & I used the same Graphic 45 paper to finish this so Brock could store his Kindy items in.  I had started this when I saw a video from mybutterflykisses12 on you tube so some of the ideas were taken from her video.  Check her out she does some wonderful work.

ALTERED HEART & EASEL BOX CARD

These items are for my friend Teresa from the United States.  Hope you like them Sooky La La

FLOWERS, ALBUM, BOOK, LETTER J & DECORATION

FLOWERS, ALBUM, BOOK, LETTER J & CHRISTMAS DECORATION

In the video I said Teresa from the UK she is actually from USA I also said the flower spray was from Designer Direct it is actually from Delightful Design etsy store.  I am just so nervous hope you all forgive me I know I am not good at this stuff.

2 Shabby Sisters stickpin & christmas card swap.

Magnolia Pirate Frame

This is a frame I made using some of my magnolia stamps. I have popped all the images after I fussy cut them out. I printed the pirate chest from the internet & also the image for the flag. I used a piece of material on the sails & made them 3D also. I hand drew the boat & cut it out then inked the edges with tim holtz distress inks. I will do a you tube on this & some other items I've made as soon as I remember how to do it.

A couple of purses

A girl from work wanted a couple of items to presents in for her mother & mother in law so this is what I came up with. She loved them as did the recipients. Hope you do too. They were made using the little boxes from Michaels or Joanns.

A GIFT FOR A FRIEND "SOOKY"

This is a couple of things I made for a friend who has done a lot of shopping in USA for me for items not available here in Australia.
