*** CLOSED***
I am so excited to offer a Charm Swap on my Blog. I absolutely love charms that hang off tags, mini’s, pages etc. and can’t seem to get enough of them  There are so many kinds available that it is impossible to collect them all.

This swap will be open to everyone to join. (US, Canada and International)

This will be a 7+1 swap, you will get one back.
• Each Charm should include a swivel clasp, garment pin or something to attach it to a tag or mini.
• A charm, either handmade or store bought (attached to the garment pin or swivel calsp)
• A bead or button.
• Please include your name and youtube/blog name.

Please be fair to everyone participating. If you’re unable to continue the swap, please notify me asap. I would like for everyone who has signed up to be able to receive as many as they have sent back.

Include a SASE with at last the same amount of postage as it took to mail me. Also include 2 extra stamps if needed. I will send them back if not needed. PLEASE NO METERED strips.

I will have 3 groups of 8 and will sign people up in the order of the comments on this blog entry and/or to keep it fair. I will close the cwap once the groups are filled.

Thank you for participating. If you don’t have my address, please email me once you are ready to mail out and I will send to you. My email address is cindy@smsrecruiters.com.

These need to be in my hands no later than June 30th, I would like to mail out on July 1st.

Youtube Video of my new Kit

This is a new kit that I have for sale on my Etsy store made out of the Tim Coffey Tuscan Sunflower papers. This paper collection is so beautiful, I love the colors and the feel of summer. Included is Eight 6x6 medium weight chipboard piecez plus 51 sheets of the designer papers and 6 solid color pieces of cardstock. It is loaded with embellishments, flowers, buttons, and fibers along with a new stamp, stamp pad, glitter glue and a tag chipboard book. There is enough to make more than one book.

Relaxing at the Beach Tag with Lindy's Stamp Gang Stains

This is the tag that I made for the swap on Arlene's Blog, My Butterfly Kisses. I had so much fun creating this tag, the theme was Beach. I am so ready to be rid of this rain and ready for the sun!! Thanks Arlene for putting this together, I know that it is a lot of work!

This is the May tag that I Made for the Swap on Marie's blog, ThePretty Paper Boutique. The theme was to use a vintage lady and to distress as much as possible. I had a lot of fun making this tag and can't wait to see what eveyone else does.

The image came from Tammy Tutterow's site http://tammytutterow.com/

Challenge #5 Think outside the Box

The object of this challenge was to create a card or layout with No Right Angles. This is what I came up with.
