FILL ER UP SWAP - Received

I participated in a swap over at the MyScrapRoom which is hosted by Gina. I received my altered bead organizer from my swap partner. She did an amazing job on this box and filled it with lots of goodies. She also added a few extra goodies, a handmade card, some her handmade flowers, bling and rub-on letters . The ladies over there are quite amazing. If you decide to stop by they have started the new swaps for the month of September.

Halloween Favor Boxes

I recently purchased a few new Cricut cartridges. On the "Life's a Party" cart there are a few party favor boxes. And I decided to do these in a Halloween theme using the DCWV "The Haunting Stack." They are really cute and make great party favors for Halloween.

Altered Bead Organizer

I've been away from blogging for a while. I've been participating in swaps and learning new things. Well, here is the latest swap I was in over at "myscraproom.ning.com. We were asked to alter a bead organizer and then fill er up with goodies. The hardest part about this organizer is getting the glue to stick. Neither hot glue, Aleenes Thick Designer Glue or E6000 would stick to this plastic container. I found that the Score Tape worked the best at holding everything down and staying in place. TFSB.

Junque Journal/Smash Book Swap

Here is the smash book that my swap partner made for me. Love the colors that she used and the papers. I have never seen these papers in my M's. The pics show the inside cover and one of the pages she created for me. She even had a page with a piece of the bazooka bubble gum box. Love Bazooka Joe, I can chew on that stuff all day. She did a lovely job.

Friends Gift Box

Here is a cute box from the "Spring Holiday Cards" Cricut cartridge and the stamp is by Fiskars. These cute little boxes are great for gifts and party favors. This box can hold about 6 Hershey candybars and a card. Quick and simple projects. TFSB

Junque Journal/Smash Book

I recently participated in a Junque Journal swap over at the "MyScraproom.ning.com hosted by Gina. This was my creation for my swap partner. It's just a mix match of papers that you had laying around and not using. I also included a few smash book pages shared in pdf format, which was shared on youtube. I really enjoyed making this book.

Dress Form Pincushion

YPP is having a felt pincushion swap. After watching Berlykim37 on youtube I wanted to give it a try at making these for the swap. I found the pretty felt at my local craft store and the dress form I found on the internet. I think these turned really cute. I just hope the ladies will like them. These are great for gift giving as well.

Altered Memo/Letter Holder

Recently my local craft store had a sidewalk sale. And this book was only $.25, so I could not pass it up at this price. After seeing a video on youtube on a similar project I decided to do one for myself. I folded the pages then attached the book to heavy weight chipboard and covered the sides and the bottom with cardstock, then embellished. This is great for gift giving and very easy to do in just under an hour.

Altered High Heal Shoe

I participated in an altered high heal shoe. The theme was "Lady Gaga" and my swap partner rocked the heck out of this show let me tell you. This was her second swap and she wild out. Let's start with the show of my shoe and then hers. Thanks for stopping by.
