Christmas Themed Stickpins

I would like to share some stickpins I made for a swap at 2 Shabby Sisters Studio.  The theme was Christmas. Here is my packaging for the stickpins.  I made a matchbook type holder.

And here are the stickpins.  We  had to make 4 sets of three pins and one had to have a charm.

I love the way the blue and white one turned out.  The gift bead was so cute. Hope everyone enjoys them.

I plan to do a lot of projects this weekend.  I want to use some of the great gifts I received in the 12 days of Christmas swap.  Try out some of those inks and maybe make a mini album. I actually have 4 days off. My craft room is all set up and unpacked so, a crafting I shall go.

Bye Bye for now,

12 day of Christmas Day 12

Final day.  I have had so much fun opening my presents and seeing what was in it each day. For the last day I wanted to give Rhonda something special.  I found this 12 Days of Christmas charm bracelet.  I thought it was a perfect ending.

Day 12

For my last present Rhonda gave me a lot of Glitter and different colors.  Love all the shades of blue.  Blue is my favorite color.  

I have truly liked everything she has made and bought.  It was lots of fun.  There are some very talented ladies at Scrapin Vintage.  Check this site out if you want a try at swaps.  Great way to make new friends that love to craft.  Some of my friends don't really get it even though they are polite enough when I show them something I've made they don't really appreciate the time and effort it somethings take to create.

Well hope you have enjoyed the last 12 days as much as I have. Check in now and then. 

Bye, Bye for now

12 Days of Christmas Day 11

Here is day 11.  I gave my swap partner 11 chip board Christmas embellishments.  She likes vintage so I picked those that where blue and had a vintage look.

Day 11

 For my gift she made a pin cushion and stickpins.  I think this boot is adorable.  I love the toile` pattern.  It looks very vintage to me.

One more day and one more gift.  Can't wait to see what it is.  Check in tomarrow and see. 

Bye, Bye for now.

12 Days of Christmas Day 10

Yes it's already day 10, only two more days left. I'll open day 11 later.  I have been waiting to open my gifts each day.  It's been hard believe me.  Here is what I made for Rhonda.

Day 10

Here's the outside packaging. On the inside, stickpins.

And here is what I received from Rhonda.

Everything I need to make a mini album.  Includes a 6x6 paper pad, alpha stickers, embellishments, stamps and flowers.  I think I could make a cute Valentine mini using just these items. Cool, don't you think Rhonda did an excellent job.  

I'll be back later to post day 11.  Only one more day to go.

Bye, Bye for now

12 Days of Christmas Day 9

I'am Back.  For day 9 I made a chunky dangling charm for Rhonda.  I put 9 charms and other beads with a ladies theme.  Here is a picture, yes I did remember to take a picture of this.

Day 9

And here is what Rhonda sent me.

Lots of BLING!!!!!.  Love these embellishments.  I can use them on all kinds of projects, there is such a variety. Rhonda has been a great swap partner.

  

Bye, Bye, for now

12 Days of Christmas Day 8

I know everyone can relate, I've been really busy so I didn't get back to post Day 8.  For my swap partner I sent her 8 milk choclate goodies.  She told me she liked Snickers so I sent her Snickers and some other chocolates I thought she might like.  I put them all into a cute little pail.

Day 8

My swap partner Rhonda sent me 8 different types of mists and inks.  I have not used Smooch products before, so this will give me the chance to try something new.  I needed some red Stickles, too.  Can't wait to try these out.  

Well that's it for day 8 be right back with day 9.

Bye, Bye for now, KIM

12 Days of Christmas Day Seven

Yesterday was day seven.  Took pictures but didn't have time to post. Here is what I made for my swap partner, Rhonda.

Day Seven

I made these seven tags for her.  I have been trying some new techniques with inks. My challenge is to try making a monochromatic tag but its harder than I thought it would be.  I am going to keep trying it.

 Now for what Rhonda sent to me.  Love the paper she used on the altered matchbox.  The dangling charm is so pretty.  Love the key and domino.  She altered a clothespin and also made a stickpin.

I'll be posting day eight later. Thanks for looking.

Bye, Bye, for now
