I promised to show the over-the-top, absolutely terrific make-and-take projects from Leadership. But first I wanted to share just a handful of the equally fantastic swaps I received. (It was hard to pick just a few to show - there are so many beautiful cards to choose from!)
This card is by Susan Nygaard and uses products from the "Sew Suite" line in the Occasions mini catalog. I was lucky enough to win some of these items and can't wait to put them to use!
And this one is from Jill Rosenkrantz. Sew cute!
I love the sweet little hearts on this Valentine created by Niki Toll.
I think it is clever that Rosalie Gochnour used the Sweetheart and Sweet Centers stamp sets together to make the heart-shaped hot air balloon!
This swap is so soft and pretty. There is pink ink distressed around the edges of the embossed layer. I wish I could give credit to the giver, but - alas! - no name on the back! If it's yours, let me know and I'm happy to let everyone know who you are!
Back to make-and-take projects. We were given a large Simply Adorned Charm, long chain, and bunches of baubles. All projects were made using the Clearly for You stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog. They included 3 inserts for the charm, a card, a fabric pin, and an album or notebook cover made from one of our clear mount stamp cases.
Notice how the fabric and ribbons are woven through the chain. And what do you think of the little crown trinket? Has my name all over it! Ha!
A little somethin' for Valentines Day. The small heart is punched from red glitter paper. That is such great stuff!
I had a hard time getting a clear picture of this one. The beveled glass along with the 3-D items underneath make it difficult for my camera to focus. I should have borrowed John's again. Oh well.
This pin has SOOOOO many layers! The flowers were cut from the Springtime Vintage fabric using the Fun Flowers die for the Big Shot. They were sprayed with starch, crumpled and dried. Using a hot glue gun, we layered them with pieces of ribbon, designer series paper, and paper flowers painted with glimmer paint. We topped it off with a stamped butterfly under a beveled windowpane.
These stamp cases are just the right size to hold a notepad and pen. Whodda thunk?
