Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentines day project Swaps I received at leadership.  These are just a few of my favorites.  You can check out more by clicking here.

I loved this bucket.  It was filled with a hot chocolate packet, a Hershey’s kiss on a spoon, a 2x4x6x8 box with marshmallows and a cute little envelop with a poem for hot chocolate. 

love-hanger

Love Banner:
This cute banner is made with coasters.  They used the big shot letters and the Love you Much Stamp set (113756, $25.95)

I loved this little test tube candy hold.  I really loved how they made a box to put it in.  Once again this is the Love yo Much Stamp set and lots of our fun punches.

This was a 6×6 page swap that I did for convention last year.  I really loved how it turned out.  I think the same basic layout could be used on a 12 x 12 page.  I will have to give it a try.  The Flower in the corner is just the large flower cut out and then folded back and under.  I saw it somewhere and thought it looked really cool.

Time for swaps again and I’m still wishing I knew who it was.  I forgot to say one other thing as to why a lot of these cards don’t have names.  When we go to the local meetings we usually do full cards instead of card fronts like at convention.  This way we can actually use the card.  However because of this we often don’t put our name directly on the card.  Some will include a business card or the card might have a sticky note with the name, but they often get lost or removed.  That’s why I don’t know who to give the proper credit to.

s-split-treesI really love this card and the way that she stamped the trees and then cut them apart.  I just think it is a really neat look.  I also really liked how she put on the ribbon.  It’s unique and different than the traditional knot that most people do (including myself).  I think it’s a beautiful card.

Cute as a Bug is the title and I would have to agree.  this page is definitely cute.

cute-as-a-bugI recieved this swap at Convention last year.  I absoultly love it and love the colors.  I really wish she would have put her name on it so I could give her credit.  This page is extra fun because of what she did with each of the bugs on the side. 

cb-dragonflyThe Pacific Point Dragonfly has Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it’s wings.

cb-catapilerThe Tangerine Tango Caterpillar has blag Chunky Glitter for it’s stripes.

cb-grasshopperThe Kiwi Kiss Grasshopper has Crystal Effects on it’s big eye.

cb-wormThe Ridding Hood Red Worm has red microbead on it’s stripes.

 

 

 

These fun effects really add to the page.  I encourage you to think outside the box and try some of these fun effects.

Update- This page was created by Kelly Hymas.

I have to show the pirate set one more time before it’s retired.  I received this card at Regional’s I think two years ago and I still love it.  I love how it opens up to revile the whole message.  It was created by Christy Christiansen from St. George Utah.  I will have to say that this is still one of my favorite swaps. 

s-pirate-card-closedShe used a 3×6 sheet for the back ground so it fits in our open ended envelops and then she used a sheet of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 for the card.  She scored it at 2 3/4 for the bottom and middle section then tore the top edge so that when it fold over it is just slightly smaller. 

s-pirate-card-partial-openShe punched a whole in the top layer for the Ahoy Matey and then placed the layered words on the middle layer. 

s-pirate-card-openWhen you open it all the way you can see the message inside.  I believe it was the retired birthday set from the old catalog, but you could use almost any set.

Be sure to order your pirate set and wheel before they are gone for good.  You can find it on the dormant list or on page 75 of the Spring/Summer ’08 Catalog.  The stamp set Ahoy, Matey is #107027 for $23.95 and the Jumbo Wheel Matey’s Map is #107212 for $8.50.  Click here to start placing your on-line order.
