Friendship Tag Swap

This is the tag I made for Patti, at Your Paper Pantry. I love how this turned out, and YPP featured one of the pics on their site. Pretty cool!

And LOOK what I received from Patti!! I'm crazy about the goodies she sent me! Take a close look at the thread on the front of the tag (1st pic), and the thread on the back of the tag (2nd pic). They're two different colors! I thought Patti had actually colored the thread after the tag was sewn....Ha! (That tells you how much I've sewn in my life.) It's that kind of detail that makes her work look so perfect!


Loving the bird's nest with the two little eggs inside, and the little nest tag, the beautiful flower. The larger tag is from a swap Patti was in and she was good enough to see that I got one of her cards. And then she included the paper with the butterflies on it....it sparkles like crazy and I love the colors! This will definitely end up in one of my journals.


These are my initials fastened to the little envelope. I love these....they're too cute for words! I would normally put something like this on my bulletin board, but I'm toying with the idea of adding a magnet to the back and using it on my fridge so I can show it off!

You can visit Patti's blog here and see more of her lovely creations. Then stop on by Your Paper Pantry and join the fun!

Another Collage?


Sure enough! I've heard that if you collage subjects that you like, and use colors that you like, you'll enjoy collage more, or be better at it, or something like that. Anyway, this one kind of happened on its own because I love roses...especially pink roses. I would change a few things if I did this one again, but for now, it's done.
