Craft Items Swap

 Morning and welcome to my latest follower Mac Mable -I entered a swap challenge on a FB page which entailed mailing your partner 10 craft items-you then made one or more projects using all the items and anything you wanted to add plus each item had to have a stamped image,then you had to post back to who sent you the items.

I was sent the  purple P.paper ,tassel,ribbon,Metal J brad,green heart,2cat/2Dragonfly/flower stickers,yellow peg.

I made a pocket card with two stamped inserts I thought she could use as toppers,the stamped flower was from Pink Frog,peel offs/butterflies were from my stash. I also made 2 ATCs using the stickers and Chocolate Baroque stamps onto 2 already made backgrounds,I also sent her the stamps I used inside on the toppers.



I sent my partner these---


And received these fabulous projects back---

HilaryJane said...

That looks like a fun thing to do, but it would terrify me. I think I would just stare at the things I received without any clue what to make. You have both done a great job here xx

What a fun idea, I imagine that everyone had a great time taking part in this challenge.

Your makes are fabulous, I especially love the pocket card, that tassel gives such an extravagant look. I adore your ATC's, they are beautiful, such vibrant colours.

I also have to mention the projects you received back, your partner is clearly very talented and made the perfect person for you to be paired with.
