Wrinkled comp book swap...what I received from Tshreve!

Hello,
Thought I'd come on here tonight and show a really neat comp.
book that I received today from my partner at CMB website.
She used some beautiful pastels (which I love)
She had two pockets and a darling little heart closure.
Love the lace and pearls and flower as well.
Thankyou so much Theresa,
I love it! Here are the pics in natural order.

What was inside the box?

I lined the inside of my box with gold satin and then

used a real vintage hankie with a brooch

with a crystal on it, to that I attached my

chunky charm and then I also made 3 stick pins

and added them to the top. Inside I had three handmade tags

as well as 3 handmade flowers, a TH butterfly and some bling.

I added a real Brittish gold stamp as well to the back, along with

ribbon and lace trim.

middle tag had real ivory vintage button

from my mother's button bag.

Thanks for stopping by!

The rest of the swap box I made for CMB swap

Now that my partner,Jeri, has received her box I will post the rest
of my pics. This is the top of the box. I used a Norman Rockwell image
and my paper was from Bo Bunny. TH die for butterfly the row of flowers were
primas as well as the one in rt rear corner and small black satin roses on left side. I used gold smooch on the black box to give it the golden look.
Then used spray polyurethane to cover that.
I also used a TH metal tag that says altered on the front.
My partner said she LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE's it! LOL

Goodies I received today from ss swap at SSC

I have a Canadian fairy for this swap but don't yet know who
she is. This is a 3 mos secret sister swap and she has been spoiling me.
She sent me all these goodies today.
Thanks so much ss!

And here is her sweet card!

Here is the sneak peek I gave blynborn of her box

This was my first box to alter. I started with a black
wooden cigar box and went from there. She wanted
black and white and gold colors. I am pleased with
how it turned out. I hope she likes it!
She should be receiving hers any day now as well.

Beautiful Graphic 45papered box from CMB swap

Hi again,
Today when I got home from PO to drop off 3 of my swaps,
I came home to find 2 great packages waiting for me.

The 1st was from bklynborn/Jeri of the CMB site and it is
beautiful. This is one of my fav papers and I have been drooling
over everyone else's box with this paper for awhile.
She also filled it with a ton of goodies, a beautiful tag, a metalic board
with magnets, 6 stick pins and more....
Thankyou so much Jeri for this amazing box and stash!
