February Paper Works

I will start with the Valentine Candy Bar Swap...

The above picture is one of the BIG Hershey candy bars with a new over wrap to celebrate Valentine's Day. 

To the right is the card that I made to go with the candy bar:)

So much Yummy Fun!

These are the ATCs for this month.

The letter "B" is for Buttons & Bows,

The letter "Y" is for Yummy & Yellow.

Here is the Feminine Birthday card.

I really like the chocolate and pink color

combo.  Maybe, because it reminds

me of chocolate covered cherries :)

Next is the "Build -a- Sketch" card.   For this challenge we are given certain shaped and sized pieces to work with.  This is always a challenge for me...I can't quite seem to let go on this challenge, which is why I do it, to make me think a little more!

I love this card...this is the "Mystery Item" swap.

Each month the hostess sends us a mystery item to use on the card

in any way we wish.  This month it was the green paper...which I ran through

the Cricut to emboss and then used it as a background.  I am really anxious

to see what the other ladies did with their paper...

This challenge was the "New Technique" card.

We were to use glossy cardstock, spray it with a little

water, paint on some inks, no real pattern

to it, just swirl it here and there, then sprinkle some salt on it, a little spritz of water and then dry with the heat gun, brush off excess salt, and....

Voila!!! a pretty new background paper:)  Finish it the way we wanted.

And last but not least is the scrapbook elements swap...

I chose to do the border for a Valentine's page, and then for the "Scrapin Queen" page I did the poem/quote.  One of these days when I get into the scrap room to scrapbook I will have all my elements all done and I will just need to add the pictures:)

I have one more swap to do, the "Different Kind Of Card" swap....

this one is really giving me trouble, so I will have to share it later,

still a work in progress :(

Then I need to switch back to sewing...I have 3 different "quilty" swaps to get done and mailed by mid March!!!!  What was I thinking??????

Love , Hugs, and Blessings to All,

Terry
