Scrappin 4 fun paperclips!!!

So for the first swap in the Scrappin 4 fun group over on cm we did embellished paperclips. it was my first time doing them so i picked something i thought would be easy...happy halloween (it was holiday themed). i figured that i could do a pumpkin and such and it would be easy lol...well i couldnt find the right paperclips so roxie had to send some lol thanks roxie...always saving my butt!! and this is what they looked like when i finished them up...she mailed them yesterday back to us so i will show you the others too...

in the middle it says happy halloween and has ribbon on them....i thought for the first time they turned out cute but yeah lol....

a few more swap items

here are a few more things i did for the swap i did...

it says on the cart that this is a bus but i thought it looked kinda like a van too so i used it for the road trip group on the swap.

here is the airplane for are we there yet? i thought it was cute.

and the stamped images for the 4th of july group.

New swap projects....

So i had a swap that i signed up for for summer things to get done this past mth or so and i finally mailed them off this past week. here is some of what i did...i already posted the Just Beachy ones here are the rest.

Here is the page title for the bbq/picnic group. i really liked how the watermelon turned out!

My First Page Title...

I am currently working on a swap over in cm about summer and I signed up for page titles thinking how hard can it be? yeah i was wrong. lots to cut out and each group i signed up for i have to make 20 of them. So my poor cricut is getting a work out again...and last night when i was working on the first ones i messed up and put the Y's in the sticker maker wrong lol...silly me. Here is what i am currently working on...i think i am going to do the one with the more shells but thought i would just post both.

what do you think? I think i am going to use the first one but the other one isnt bad either.

My first altered coaster...

So i got these coasters from Applebee's the other day after lunch cause someone told me that you can alter them and make them look really cool...and she was right lol...now i dont have a before pic but everyone knows what a restaurant coaster looks like right...here is what it looks like now...

all i did was put red cardstock on the back with my tape runner. i wasnt sure how glue would look. then i used some alpha's that i already had cut out and put them on with my 150 sticker maker by xyron and then added the eyelets with my crop-a-dile and then the ribbon at the end. I might add a small pic later on but i like how it turned out now...

Todays the first day!!!
