Butterflies -

Hello,

This is a group of cards I made from a new Stampin Up set. I made them for a Swap-Bot swap themed, aptly, Butterflies!

It was an ATC swap but I made the matching card to mail with them. One was going to Australia!

"Butt"erfly - Keanu Reeves ATC Swap

Hello,

This ATC (artist trading card) was made for a swap I found on Swap-Bot. It is one in series of Actor swaps - Keanu Reeves was the focus of this one.

I didn't want to do a rehash or his movies - because, really ... I appreciate him for some of his other gifts. He is just gorgeous! This has long been one of my fave photographs of Keanu so I thought this would be a perfect place to use it.

I used my Stampin Up butterfly (which folds down for a more modest look, but really? Why.....) punch and letters from the Paula's Kit Club - Green Kit. Add some bling and it was good to go!

Enjoy - Chrisi

Swap-Bot - my first swap!

Hello,

I've found a new site for swapping all kinds of stuff. It's Swap-Bot.com - I'm using it for swapping cards, ATC (artist trading cards) and other paper crafts but they offer all kinds of swaps - check 'em out!

This ATC swap was called "Laying around the House" - and had to be made of stuff you already had and stuff that isn't usually used for crafting. I made the ATC from one of those cardboard things you get around your Starbucks Coffee so you don't burn your hand. I punched a few things out and distressed them and stamped on the background. The holder is made from a coffee filter and I gave it a card front from some scraps I had leftover from another project.

Hope you enjoy - thanks - Chrisi
