Easter Swap

I know, I know, Easter was LAST week. However, the swap I signed up for didn't require that the items be postmarked until March 31 - thank God! I finished these up on Thursday and am getting them packaged up to be mailed on Monday - March 31. Each of the ten participants in the swap will receive the two slide mounts pictured below, yes, I decorated the eggs on each one with my markers so they would look like they were dyed (for you non-scrapbooking type people, these could be affixed to a scrapbook page as embellishments and you can put a small photo in the frame or another type of embellishment). In turn, I will get back ten other items all with the Easter theme. I'm looking forward to seeing what arrives!







If you've never participated in a swap, they can be lots of fun if you don't overcommit. :-) Keep your contribution simple while still following the guidelines. I've got two more swaps in line for April and May. One is a papercrafting swap, the other is just with one person (whose name I received via e-mail today) for a Sister Shoebox Swap. We answered a short list of questions and submitted them to the swap hostess and were matched with another person who signed up. It's going to be fun to brighten someone's day with a box of goodies all related to Spring.



I hope you all had a blessed Easter!

3D Easter eggs made out of paper

http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/2008/03/3d-easter-eggs.html

Aren't these adorable? If you don't have an oval punch you could trace something to get the shape. I plan to use my Cricut to cut out ovals in different sizes. :-)

Last post of photos for now . . .

This is for my 2-year-old niece. Below are a few of the pages, with shapes cut on my Cricut. The book also includes elephants, flowers, bunnies, apples, sailboats and kitties. I laminated the cover and put each page in a protective sleeve.





More Gifts . . .

A little notebook for another of my nephews.



A jewelry box for my niece (yes, jewelry will be included).


A fun little box for my 6-year-old niece. She can put paper and markers inside and take it with her in the car or to church.

For my newest niece, born December 21.

I've been busy!

Whew - I think I'm almost there! I've been working on gifts for my nieces and nephews for our family Christmas this coming Saturday (I know it's January, it's what works for us). Anyway, I'll have more than one post on this as there are too many item to put all together. Enjoy browsing!

Actually, this is a gift for a little friend who just turned three and loves girly things. It's all glittery paper but I don't think the photo shows that very well.




This little sketch book goes with the clipboard for my nephew.

Merry Christmas!


Wishing you and your families many blessings this Christmas and in the coming year!

(Just a little something I created with my Cricut Expression and the Paper Doll Dress Up
cartridge.)

Happy Thanksgiving!



Just keeping my nugget-tent making skills in shape! This cute little guy was the idea of emmiestamps over at Splitcoast Stampers. I don't have all the punches she does, but I was able to use my Cricut to make this version. These will be the place cards at our Thanksgiving dinner.
