Paper Bag Book Pages

I entered a swap a while ago, creating a paper bag book. I didn't post all the pages, as I didn't want my swap partner to get a sneak peek. She received it - and liked it - so I thought I share some of the pages I did.

These pages were cream stationary cut in squares, attached by brads and on the right side a sticky note, which my partner can replace.

This page was a little mini blank book for my swap partner to jot down her thoughts.

The left page, I made a mini book out of stationary. On the right page, I took a vellum ATC envelope and filled it with blank ATCs. In the pocket of that page I added more blank vellum envelopes.

This was the last page, and on the right I just wrote a personal note to my swap partner.

Red, White & Blue ATCs

Two recent swaps that I joined had red, white and blue themes ... and I created a series of themed ATCS of 3 originals. The most recent ATC Themed Editions I sent out were titled "Ms. Independence" & "Le Fleur of Independence". I always hesitate when sending out some of my ATCs, because I am a born scrubbler and doodler - and compared to other ATCs that I see - mine always seem so sparse in comparison ... but I love to play with inks, pens and H20 Twinkling Luminaries.

Inchies in June

After a slow start, I find my momentum with these inchies. This was done for a swap.

Father's Day Is Just Around The Corner Mom ....

...and I need a card.

That's what my 11 yr old said on Sunday - so I dug through my stuff and came up with this card. I am really happy with how it turned out. I left the inside blank, so that he could write something special to his Dad.

Mrs. Butterworth Goes To Brooklyn

I painted this Mrs Butterworth bottle over the weekend, to send to my sister, who is a pastry chef at Heavenly Crumbs Bakery in Brooklyn, NY. I am not all that happy with the lettering, but I love how everything else turned out. So if you are ever in Brooklyn, go on over to the bakery and check out Mrs Butterworths in person!
