Embellishment Swap Con't.

Here's the final embellishments I'm sending off to Carrie for her themed embellishment swap, my pet journaling tags. Once again, very simple, but I think they're cute!
Everything but the lined paper is from the DCWV Pet Stack which is such a fun paper pack.

I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with for this swap....and have new themed embellies to play with!

Mail Call!

Oh this is so exciting! Look what just came in the mail, my first ever Etsy purchase! I thought these were just so cute and versatile and, well, I've got a bit of a fascination with journaling tags/boxes/spots. So this first shot is of my purchase which is actually 4 separate packages.

This second shot is of the thank you note and goodies that came with my purchase which I thought was such a sweet jesture on Jennifer's part. She's the owner of Creative Chaos, where I got all this neat stuff. You can find her blog on my blog list to the right. I just can't wait to incorporate these into my layouts!

Embellishment Swap

I'm well known for being late getting my swaps out. Actually, I'm well known for being late for pretty much everything, but I'm talking about swaps right now. My friend Carrie is hosting a themed embellishment swap on the Memory Makers forum that was due sometime in May (I think) and I got some time today to finish up my love theme stamped embellies. Here they are:

You can't really tell from the picture, but the white paper is attached with foam adhesive to give it some dimension, along with a lot of inking.
I've had my school and Easter journal tags done for a while now.

Funny, but after I did these up, I saw diecut journaling tags just like them from a company whose name escapes me right now. Honest, I came up with this before I saw it elsewhere! Fellow Cricuteers may recognise the bus from the Doodlecharms cartridge.

The Easter journaling boxes are pretty simple, but I just loved the colourful chick ribbon and the purple patterned paper.

So that just leaves my pet journaling boxes which I'm playing around with right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to post them later this week and finally get this swap out to California!

Thanks for looking!
