Lace Card Swap

This months Swap Your Heart Out theme was Lace Cards.  Each participant made 10 cards to swap.  The only requirement was that it had some type of lace incorporated into it.

Im so lucky to be a member or such a creative group.

Swap Your Heart Out: Bag Card Swap Photos

I am in the best crafting swap club ever called Swap Your Heart Out.  We meet every 6 weeks and make projects based on a predetermined theme.  Sometimes it is a one on one swap, meaning you only make one project to trade.  Sometimes it is a group swap, meaning you make one item for each member in the swap.  Here are some pictures from our last swap.  I hope i did not miss any projects.  Our group is full but I thought I could share photos for you to get inspiration.  Happy Crafting!

Banner Swap

My craft group Swap Your Heart Out had a banner swap this month.  This is my contribution.

I used cording and painted chip board slightly larger than a shipping tag.  I used distress inks, stamps, and misc trinkets to complete.  They are clipped to the bases with tim holts clips so the words can easily be changes.  The letters were done using my Cricut.

Altered Journal Swap

My craft group Swap Your Heart Out recently had a "one on one" Altered Journal Swap.  We each made one altered Journal and traded with another member.  They were all amazing.

I get inspired every time we are together…

2014 Christmas Tags Swap

Here are the Christmas Tags from our annual Christmas tag swap.  I love handmade tags and really love being in a craft group with so many creative ladies.  

Happy Holidays!

Mini in a Box

I made this mini album in a box for a recent swap at Swap your heart Out.  I got the box from Michaels $1 bin and painted it black.  I covered with designer paper and added a magnetic closure. 

Inside the box on the first square I stamped one of my favorite sayings. 

The inside comes out and has places to add photos and journaling 

The back side of the pull out. 

Thanks for Stopping by!

Spring Banner Swap

I was recently in a banner swap #somebunnyluvsyou2014 and this is the banner I made for my swap partner.  I used corrugated cardboard and painted it with a white wash.  I made handmade rosettes, scrap paper, and used my cricut to make the letters.  I added beads and scrap fabric between the letters.  On each side i used the Tim Holtz birdcage die and stampin up flower punches and bird punch.  I'll post some pictures soon of the awesome banner I received.

Cricut Dog Card and Layout

While at a scrapbook retreat with Girls Ink I made my swap cards for the kids birthday swap over at Swap your heart out. I used the Cricut (cant remember cartridge sorry) and made the card an easel card.   After finishing my swap cards I had leftover paper so I made a matching layout.

It says Oh Happy Day and the easel lays flat for mailing.

There is a pull out journaling card and a Pile of Bones..... it is a happy day for this puppy.

Christmas Tag Swap

I saw a really cute punched Elf Pattern on Tinker With Ink & Paper and knew I wanted to use that idea for my Christmas Tag Swap at Swap Your Heart Out.  I used the Tim Holtz Tag for the base, embossed the background and changed a few details. 

I really hope the girls like them.
