More Swaps

I really am getting sidetracked with the swaps. I also signed up for a birthday card swap, and another embellishment swap. I'll post a photo of the cards later. The embellishment swap is called A Slice of Summer, and anything summer related can qualify. I was just going to do the Lemonade Stand, but decided it needed a little girl selling the lemonade, so I used a My Favorite Things stamp (Green Pastures, discontinued) for the little girl.

I added Wink of Stella to the Lemonade glasses, and Nuvo drops for the nails on the Lemonade Stand.

There will be 4 of them, of course, but I am still working on coloring the little girl images. In the meantime, I want to post these images for the swaps before someone else does something similar.

Safari Swap 2

For the Western swap, I sent in both the boots/rope frame embellishment, and the Hey, Cowboy one. By sending in a total of 8 items, I got 8 in return.

Aside from the initial frustration of learning what is acceptable, I ended up making a second set for the Safari swap as well. This one was made using Graphic 45 papers that a friend and I found at Tuesday Morning long ago. I tore and inked the edges, die cut the animal print paper with the same die that I used for the background of the first Safari set, fussy cut the upper decoration, and the lion was an Etsy print and cut. It's a bit thicker, but I am very happy with the results. I made an extra for me, and I plan to use it on a Disney Safari layout.
