Swap-Mania!

As I stated earlier, I hosted 2 consultant swaps.  The first was a Holiday Recipe swap which included holidays within the months of October and March.  The second was a 2014 Calendar swap.

Just like the swaps in the past, the ladies did an amazing job!!! I was so excited to see all the pages.  I actually resisted opening any of the packages until I had everyone's swap in my hands. Now, I call that will power!! LOL!!

Without further ado....

HOLIDAY RECIPE SWAP

I'll start off with my recipe page:

I made the turkey using punches.  Basically, I cut scallop circle pieces to layer the feathers and then used 2 different sized circle punches for his head and body.  I hand-cut his beak and used onyx jewels for the eyes.  The background was stamped with Woodgrain Background stamp using French Roast Ink. I added some orange jewels on the side and bottom. The cardstock colors for the recipe page are Orange and Apricot.

Here are the pages from the lovely consultants:

I'm so sad to know that the snowflake dies were discontinued from last year.  I think it's one of my all-time favorite dies!!  I sponged some Winter Sky Ink for the sky and also used the discontinued Sugar Ink.  The snowflakes were cut from Shimmer Bermuda cardstock.  And I added a little sparkle to the stars from the Santa's Flight image with some clear dots (jewels).  The image was colored with various Copics.

I made a snowy hill using Clear Crystal Glaze and Diamond Glitter.

Again, incredible job everyone!!

Thanks again!!

I also participated in a Calendar Swap that was hosted by a dear friend on Splitcoaststampers.  I will be posting pictures from that swap when I get them back.  Hopefully, they will be here soon...so don't forget to check back. :)
