Altering Paper Crafts Supply Swap Gallery

[ehinders]

I'm glad you liked everything PinkPug! Don't worry about the envelope! It would've all fit in an 8 1/2 by 11, but then I would've had to fold the 12 by 12 paper and I just didn't want to do that. Besides, I had that envelope laying around and I thought I would be perfect.

The old black and whites of movie stars are actually old greeting cards from the 70's. I have had them forever and haven't done anything with them yet, so I've been slowly giving them to others hoping they'll get used in a cool project!

I love seeing everyone's stuff! I haven't seen a package yet that didn't have something I like in it!

And, I am going to add that I can't believe how much stuff everyone had to give away...we are really really seriously hoarders of stuff 

You really have no idea! 
I like the idea of linking here with projects we've made with the supplies we've sent- it would be neat to see what your partners come up with!
Those are some more awesome packages too!

I got my package today! It's sitting in the Apartment office though SO AS SOON AS I GET OFF WORK I CAN OPENS IT! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TONIGHT!

I received from TerraBella01! I have some wonderful stuff and I can't wait to show it all off! I'll post pics in the next few days (sorry, really busy!).

Everyones got such gorgeous stuff. I am still overwhelmed at the generosity of the package I received.

Jumping on the end of the snow band wagon my brother works in Waitrose (top end UK store - son't know if you have it in the USA) and when we had some snow back in the beginning of february they took more money in than they did on christmas eve

I received from corduroy cat today.
I'm going to tell you a story, okay?
See that giant mailbox over there?

Way across the road with it's door open? Well, that is my neighbor's mailbox. Mine is the tiny one behind it. My neighbor's mailbox is broken and won't stay closed.
Today I went to check the mail. After being home with Mr. Malmow ALL DAY. And while I was standing at my mailbox, I happened to look in 344's mailbox, since it was open. And I saw my package in it!
So I grabbed it right out and huffed across the street and declared to Mr. Malmow that I have HAD IT with the USPS and I will be lodging a complaint against my lazy mailman.
Anyway, THANK GOODNESS I saw it b/c 344 might not have known which house was mine and the package wouldn't fit in my mailbox and maybe they would have just stolen it.
I'm glad they didn't, because it was full of awesome stuff!
Satchmo was wary.



There are TONS of papers, a bunch of tags (I love tags) mints in an awesome tin, rub ons, beads, buttons, museum brochures, maps, giraffes, envelopes with angler fish on them!

Some of my favorites:

Cigarette cards, apothecary type labels, and the gold eyeball things. Are they supposed to backwards? Are they rubons?

Loteria cards (which I am unfamiliar with, but are really neat), a hilarious holographic Barbie card, and an amusing fortune cookie fortune.
I can't even begin to thank you, corduroy cat!
Just as I can't even begin to post all of the amazing things she sent me. One last image: some of the awesome vintage stamps she talked about.

As always, I apologize for the shoddy photography, and for sending my partner a package that isn't nearly as awesome as this one!

Are cigarette cards like what we get in bubblegum packs?

great package full of a bit of everything! have fun!

[Tero]

That is a wonderful package !! I love those old labels, not sure what I would do with them but I am thinking one can never have too many of them. LOL

aaawww I cant wait for my partners to get their package and me to mine.....eeeeppp!!

[beckashell]

WOW what GREAT packages !! Too many favorites to list them all We should keep the gallery going and post pictures of some of the cool things that get made out of all of our new treasures. Not sure if that is allowed but it would be neat.

Maybe what we could do is just post links to projects we made using the stuff!  That is what we are doing in the 50 projects and the destash...that way, more people can see what you made if they were not in this swap...

And, I am going to add that I can't believe how much stuff everyone had to give away...we are really really seriously hoarders of stuff 

Ooooh what a great idea~!! I needed new papers yesterday for my sister's birthday present - but I decided that I could wait a few days to see what arrives in the mail instead!

I'm hoping that there's something I can use for a cupcake book i'm making...
