REVEAL: My Designer Secret Santa Swaps

I joined a swap this holiday season, hosted by my friend Jennie! http://designersecretsantaswap.blogspot.com/

We had to create in our style: 1 card, 1 tag, 1 ornament, and 1 altered book or album. The tag was the hardest for me, I ended up just making some small sized gift tags. I really hope that my secret santa giftee (Gina) liked what I sent! I really hope she got it already . . . if not, and she is browsing these sites -- then she gets a sneak peek!

My altered album -- I had fun making this one!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
