Remember these.....(5 Items swap #2)

These are the goodies that my lovely friend Linda

sent to me to play with...

...an Altoid tin, beaded trim, a large piece of netting, silky cream ribbon and roses...

-oOo-

We both have the same 5 foundation items

(the roses count has 1 item)

(we were also allowed to add anything from our own stash, but the main 5 items had to be used)

-oOo-

and this is what Linda did with her Challenge....

How totally gorgeous is this  !!

..and the inside is equally has stunning !

I adore the cute little quilt

and all the gorgeous embellies !!

(Oh, I do LOVE a sewing theme !!)

And we mustn't forget the back...

Thank you so much for everything Linda

you did a fabulous job with the tin...

and all of the other wonderful goodies that you sent to me..

Now, I guess you are wondering I did with the tin?

as soon as I saw the netting I thought of....

 Ballerina's Tutus

This is what I made for Linda....

 The outside I have decorated with...

papers, Tim  holtz tape, netting, Image (Landof Enchantment) ribbon roses, painted key, faux pearls, ticket, button and lace - distressed with inks and paints.

I pleated the cream ribbon to make a little curtain valance

the roses and the beaded trim (dissected !) were used to embellish inside the tin.

added some more faux pearls, ballerina images ( also from Landof Enchantment)  a plaster frame

...and stuck in a little inspirational quote

..and I've added the netting to make the tutus on both outside and inside the tin.

 I really enjoy these little swaps with my friend Linda

..and found it amazing how we have used the same items in totally different ways!

Thanks again linda for a fabby trade :)

-oOo-

Here are my 5 new items

( the buttons count as 1 item - Just incase you thought I couldn't count LOL !!)

 for Linda for our next swap

-mini canvas, lace, buttons, tag and some vintage music paper.
