Makes for swaps

Hello everyone,

today I thought I'd show you two pieces I made for two swaps. I like to take part in the 'decorated tag' swap and the 'postcard' swap at the UK Stampers Forum FB page. This is a really friendly and open page to enjoy.. There are also ATC and Inchie swaps.

Here is the tag I made for the January swap:

I used a Magda Polakow stamp for this. Isn't she cute... 

And this is my postcard for the Postcard swap... 

I used an old Dina Wakley stamp for this. 

You could take part too... it is so much fun to get a nice postcard or tag in the post... 

Thank you for stopping by today !

Hello everyone,

When you read this I will be going on my holibobs... Hubby is taking me to Wales to walk them hills... makes me tired just thinking about it, lol ! Luckily there will also be lots of great food and wine... and we are staying in a fabulous holiday home. So not all bad ! haha.

I have been busy making stuff to get ahead and today I am showing you two pieces I have made for swaps. I try and swap some stuff every month and this particular group (UK Stampers Forum) is fantastic. There are great people and a friendly atmosphere. It is just a fun group. If you are interested in joining in here is the LINK to the page. Anyway, here are my two pieces for the swap for July:

This one is for the postcard swap and was made with acrylic paints, stamps by Tim Holtz (Sea Life) and Copic Markers to colour the fish. I finished it off with a Small Talk sticker also by Tim Holtz. 

This one if for the decorated tag swap and was real simple to make.  I die cut the tag and then I just stamped Jillian's head several times on it, making sure to turn it every time.  I then stamped her again on a separate piece of paper. I coloured this one with watercolour markers (ZIG) and then matted her on black paper. The sentiment was stamped and matted on black as well. I then put the whole thing together. All stamps I used are by Stampotique Originals. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today !
