Paper Embellishment/Ephemera Swap GALLERY

[Smmarrt (Susan - You can just add more paint!)]

Whoops! I was prematurely excited to be finished. Fingers crossed that yours arrives soon!

@jemimah Those tags and wonky houses are simply wonderful! You always have such clever ways to make some simple thing so much more interesting with your embellishments and drawings!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

I’m very excited to see what you made @thanate! hopefully there’ll be some mail this week

Thank you so much for the kind comments about the wonky houses, they were a lot of fun to make. I was inspired by @Smmarrt’s wonderful artworks

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

@thanate sent me a ridiculously generous and creative package - very much worth waiting for!!

There’s beautiful cards, stickers and colourful bits, AND origami cicadas and hand decorated embellishments, AND postage stamps, amazing decorated paper clips and pencil toppers, AND a fabulous machine embroidered map, a little skelly, and a miniature pack of cards!

Such a thoughtful and generous package, thank you so very much!

Those tiny embroidered envelopes are killing me! Cute-oooo!

Is NZ on the map?

[thanate (Ann needs more tea)]

It’s that tiny double-dot in the bottom right corner. (I had two partners & two hemispheres of map pattern that worked out to one for each.)

[AIMR (Linda -2026 time to regroup and renew :us:)]

I was just funning…in the past year, we have had fun commenting on how NZ is often left out of maps in the news cycles…lol…great job being inclusive!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

Ahahaha!! Yes, yes it is it’s the first thing I checked

(actually I was sure @thanate would never be so careless)

(Not part of this swap, just visiting.)
I just had a good look at all of the pictures in this thread (swoooooooooon).
So many pretty pieces of paper embellishment/ephemera!
Like walking through a candy store (but without the diabetes).

[thanate (Ann needs more tea)]

I take no credit for the design of the map, but it would definitely have spoiled the partner in each hemisphere symmetry if NZ hadn’t actually been included.
