I am back, yay. Not much going on really, well that is not true, been doing a lot of crafting but I did not want to talk about it till I could show pictures. I am in several swaps on the Cricut Message Board (what else is new) and have completed several of the items that I am sending/have sent and decided to share here.
The weather here has been rather erratic, freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, icy rain, and now it is 50 degrees. Just thought I would channel my inner weather girl and put that out there.
Without further ado, my completed projects.
The swap was a Pin cushion/stick pin swap. My partner is a (cough) Dallas Cowboys Fan and I decided to do her pin cushion in Dallas Colors. Here are the results
I used Dallas Fabric and the bow was Dallas blue with Silver Stars. I bought some bottle cap images from Etsy and added them to the sides and top. The Stick pins were iridescent blue and silver.
I did a few things in between, but failed to take pictures.
I just completed a Spool Swap and here are my pictures. I got one of the ideas from http://www.scrapbook.com/gallery/image/other/3122119.html. The first one is a wooden spool. My partner wanted red and black so I covered the spool with paper from DCWV Immortal stack. I added some flowers I received in a swap, a metal bow with charms hanging down. The charms I used were a butterfly, crown, small fairy, and heart shaped clock. I also used metal flowers and some feathers. The second one is a toilet paper spool. I used Timeless paper stack and covered the spool with ribbon that she can use later. The flowers are recollections and I smudged the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo. Again I added feathers, obviously an obsession with me now and a Butterfly with a rhinestone center.
And last but not least is the card I made for this swap.
Hope to back soon with more crafty goodness
