A Little More Help From Some Friends!

 A couple of posts ago,

I shared how I love to find inspiration

 in some of the beautiful little tuck-ins

 that art friends sometimes include in swap packages.

I have 2 new pieces to share today

which also include these sweet gifts.

Last Autumn,

Dorthe sent me a beautiful gift 

which she wrapped with this luscious aqua tulle ribbon and  rose.

A vintage image, pretty papers, charms, and seam binding

made for a sweet tag,

but Dorthe's elegant embellishment elevated this tag to the next level.

This tag was begging for one more finishing element.

I received a bag of these itty-bitty pink shells

a few years ago in  a swap packet.

I am sorry, but I cannot remember who sent them.

I have used them in several projects,

they are just darling.

JOYful weekend to you all!

Just a note to our group,

Sabrina enJOYed creating her mermaids so much

that she sent along a few extras,

which I randomly tucked into a few packets.

So, if you received an extra card,

now you know who to thank.

Thanks so much to a fun

and talented group of swappers!

Remember sign-ups are still open for July's swap,

"A Lovely Day At The Beach."
