Swap Return from artJOYstuff

I received the most beautiful altered matchbox from the Vintage Dragonfly swap, made by Kim over at artJOYstuff!  I love it when she is my swap partner! She has the most beautiful creations, they definitely inspire! Check out what she made for me! Even her wrapping job is beautiful and useful! This is definitely hanging in my workroom, front and center.

And she included a beautiful mini album kit! I can't wait to play with it! Thanks so much Kim!

Happy Scrappy Savings!

June Gecko Galz Sample and Vintage Dragonfly Swap

The June Gecko Galz products are out and spectacular as usual! There is a cute sewing themed set that spoke to my shabby chic heart! I knew I had to use it in my large altered matchbox swap for Vintage Dragonfly! The theme for the swap was flowers, so I thought the sewing images would go well.
