Both of these beautiful Santa tags were made by Johanna Schram from Elgin, Illinois. She can take just about anything from stickers to buttons to scraps of old cards and paper and make the coolest tags, ATC's and other ephemerata. Her blog which she is just starting is here .
Love and Romance was the theme of another swap I did in February. In this swap, you were required to make a card and send enough pieces for the recipient to make another two cards-it was a card kit of the month swap. This was created by Emily Wilhite. It's hard to see but there is glitter on the dress.
This card was also from Vaudene Tanaka. It was part of a swap club I was in.The theme was February Holidays-so Vaudene selected Wear Red Day. The club was fine for me as it was a one on one swap. Unfortunately, something changed and it made me and others very unhappy. Someday I will write about it. For now, enjoy this pretty card.
Such a mysterious card. This was a traveling RAK, which means I sent it on to another lucky recipient after savoring it. I have no idea who made it and it was showing its age when I received it. Everyone who had received it had signed the inside and it had many names.It was done with Stitch Wizardry (from the sewing section) and embossing powders.
Here is another Traveling RAK that has been passed on a long ways. The background paper for this card is a napkin! I hear that this is quite the rage in the UK. I never buy napkins but always use old towels torn up for cleanups. The image here was stamped on a bit of very thin wood-perhaps balsa wood.
I received this springy card recently from Diane (with no last name). It was part of blog candy won from her blog but I cannot find her last name anywhere. Diane, if you see this, email me so I can give you proper credit.
The incredible artist on this is the owner of Pat Stamps and Technique Junkies websites. Pat Huntoon sent me this card which used technique from her bi-monthly newsletter.
This beauty was created by Vaudene Tanaka from the Technique Junkies One-on-One list. I received it in September 2007. It used several aging methods. You can find more about Technique Junkies here .
