Yes, photo not loading. I’ll try again.
It’s so cool to see all the different ideas everyone has! Those ribbon tuck cards are inspiring me, for sure!
I received an AMAZING package from @Smmarrt ! Cast your eyes on these beauties!
A book of affirmation notes, plus a cool blank page journal/notebook from a coffee sleeve, and a wonderful card with a note.
Some gorgeous and delicate prints:
Then, an entire accordion folder stuffed with awesomeness!
PLUS, an extra perfect button inside the card that I will definitely be rocking.
Thank you so much for such a fun swap, Susan! I have swap anxiety now! If you liked your package half as much as I like this one, though, I’ll call it a win. I am already scheming up some plans for several of the items.
Thank you, again, to @geekgirl for organizing, too!
I’m happy that you are such an enthusiastic receiver! I do like what you made for me and now that I’m at work I’ll try to get the photos to load. I always like swaps where there is a directive, but lots of room for interpretation. Thanks @geekgirl for a fun & fast swap!
Also, it’s difficult for me NOT to add words to everything I make. So many of the tags & clusters are wordless and you can add to them as you wish.
I love the words! I have the opposite problem, feeling skittish to commit to text on projects, so extra appreciate your style. I don’t know if you stalked me well or it’s a happy conincidence, but so many things are going to be perfect to use for my letter writing group, too (in addition to junk journals, of course)!
These are all gorgeous!! You all are amazing artists!!
By the way, the cats are a free download from
Collage Soup’s website. Look under the ebooks tab. It’s a free download and there are 50+ pages!
I received my pack-o-fun from @thanate ! I love the embroidery on everything!

Thanks @Sunflower love your style!
Thanks! Glad you like it
Full disclosure the orange is tea dyed paper and waxed paper. It didnt seem to rub off…but I don’t have a lot of experience with it and I wanted to let you know, in case it might damage something it’s put next to or across from.
So many lovely little pockets! I especially love the hand-stitching.
Oh that’s cool that you dyed it! It looks fine and doesn’t appear to be rubbing off. I’ll keep an eye on it!
This was my first time doing hand stitching in paper crafts. Normally I am mending a plushie or a kids outfit
I did ruin the first watercolored book page pocket trying to sew it and had to make a new one…but the watercolor turned out even better the second time, so all in all it was a win!
I got to try so many new techniques because @geekgirl pinterest suggestions were loaded with ideas!
Wow! There are so many cool and varied things here!
I’m especially digging @thanate’s pony express tag and @Sunflower’s pink multi- pocket tag!
Got my goodies yesterday from @geekgirl. They are amazing!!!
The entire collection
A hidden pull out library card with a cute paperclip
Multiple pockets, stitched on the sewing machine (@geekgirl 's braveness is inspiring me!!)and look at all these sunflowers!!
Another hidden pull out library card, I love the mix of different papers in all these!
A beautiful tag with another gorgeous sunflower and mix of papers
A paper stack, with a pretty collection of flowers and I love the addition of field notes on the back!
Another beautiful mix of papers turned into pockets with cute paper stacks!
This simple and cute handmade card. How did you make the teal background?!?! And the simple line drawing on top is so classy!!
Thank you sooo much @geekgirl ! I love it all!
I love all the beautiful flowers on everything!
glad you liked it all!
the note card is a gelli print. the line drawing is called a “wonky bit”. you can see lots of examples if you google “wonky bit” or “willa wonky bit”
