SB thriftopia...flip flopped PC swap

this was a fun, happy swap for me.  unique materials & techniques.  i removed the staps from the sole and then glued down w/e6000 to the top.  i used yes glue to adhere labels & postage stamps.  the quotes are from a 2012 calendar by sandy gingras, how to live in flip flops!    blest be  :)
p.s.   the post office returned these for more postage.  apparently each one is considered a package and requires $2.70 to mail in the USA...  :)

SB TPD....journal page SHE SHINES

after watching the awesome christy tomlinson tutorials (wasn't she wonderful in TLC's craft wars) AND finally got me some christy tomlinson SHE ART stuff, i made this spread for a journal page swap.  such fun experimenting with new tools & techniques!   blest be  ;)

ArtJOYStuff atc swap...mermaid song

SB, TPD...PC swap, how do you like me now!

SB post card swap @ the paper dragon.  since i am, my life is, an enigma, figured i'd use a puzzle piece as the base and collage from there.  started with an abstract copy of a photo of myself, the glasses are a stamp from donna downey (i've had glasses since the 3rd grade and my first pair was a blue cats eye pair, and now, the more loud they are the better...love the glasses of garcia on criminal minds :)))) and the paper is graphic 45...and of course, all sewn together.  we were to also include a quirky trait about ourselves and being "easily distracted" popped yo ty mind!     blest be   ;)

SB, The Paper Dragon...4 pocket booklet

found these festive, vintage style, summer papers from grahpic 45 at my local tuesday morning, $3 for a 50 pack!  SO, this booklet, on the boardwalk, emerged with a little finagling of cut & paste.  blest be  ;)
