Comment: Thank you for the coasters and embroidery! You do lovely work. I'm not sure what to do with the bee embroidery though, I can't sew to save my life. :D

Comment: Thank you for the amazing two pouches!!

Comment: Love the micro mini quilt and letter. Thanks for joining the swap!!

Comment: Hi Sydney! Thank you for the lovely "red" photo - I love fall leave photos and for the extra "red" pc, that is just so pretty as well! I love these photos swaps and hope to trade again in the future! Wishing you all the best and please stay safe! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;) p.s. How awesome that you still use 35mm film! I gave that up years ago but always thought film photos just looked brighter and clearer! Where do you get your film developed? I remember the cost was really going up when I went digital - sigh! I do love digital though, so will not complain too loudly! LOL! ;)

Comment: Thank you! GORGEOUS photo!! The detail is amazing!! I LOVE using black and white 35MM film too- it adds a sort of crispness to the photo that you otherwise cannot see!! Thank you so much! HAPPY SPRING! x G

Comment: Thank you Sydney for making me the tulip ATC very pretty. Also, the extras was a nice surprise. Have a wonderful week & weekend, AnnaL.

Comment: Hello Sydney! I hadn't realized until I received your awesome zine that you are also in Portland! :-) really enjoyed the John O'Donohue poem and your own beautiful photos. Fantastic and so personal. LOVE your zine! Thank you for sharing your art with me.

Comment: Fantastic photos. Thank you!

Comment: Hi Sydney! Love the sky photos and that you used 35 mm film! I have not used my film camera in ages but you make me want to! Thanks so much for the lovely share! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: I've loved all of your JJ swap pages but this has been my favorite. I love how you used the tissue for fire, so clever.

Comment: Thank you for the fun page! And for having lunch with me!!

Comment: Hey Sydney! Thank you so much for the beautiful zine that you made out of photographic paper! So cool! It's especially stunning that you used black and white! I also like your postcard - it looks professionally done. Thank you SO much!

Comment: thanks for the awesome page! again! I'll have to have you help me put the book together!

Comment: Sydney I love it when you letter on the pages, you do such a beautiful job lettering. This swap has been so fun. We are almost done filling up out journals. The card you sent was that shaving cream painting? fun, fun :-)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely swap! It was nice to read your letter! The art work is very nice as well!

 

Comment: Thank you for the lovely coffees!! You re the best!

Comment: Lucky me-I got two cards-I love them both just as much. This is a great technique and I plan on using it more too! Been hot here lately-and when it's so hot we sometimes have wicked rain and thunderstorms at night. I am staying safe and well by not going out much-I'm retired so it's easier-still miss my scrapbook retreats and card classes from my local scrapbooking store. At least they are open for limited hours now and of course wearing a mask everywhere. Take care and stay healthy!

 

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcard! I wish my photography skill were as good as yours x

Comment: I love the postcard and the photo, thanks!!!

Comment: Beautiful card! I love how you also did part of the envelope to match (I'm going to copy you and do that too!). The color choice is so pretty! Love it!!

Comment: Thanks Sydney, I agree I think a couple more months and our books will be full. I can't wait :-)

Comment: Hello and thank you for the photos. I am happy you joined the group. The photo you printed with the flowers is dramatic and I am planning to use it as a postcard. It will make a pal feel extra special. I can see how 35mm is doing a comeback over here. Have you always shot with 35mm?

Comment: Thank you for the awesome photos! I love the black and white as well!

Comment: Like the black and white photos. There’s a similar bridge in Dallas.

Comment: Sydney! These are fantastic! I LOVE them! Portland is GORGEOUS and the architecture there is very unique. I love to travel and a lot of my photos are of random buildings and homes that I come across. Some people wonder why I take random pics but it's the architecture that catches my eye!! The house is interesting too! There is a similar-looking one in Kennebunk port Maine where I grew up summering!! Way awesome! Gabi

Comment: So freaking cute!

Comment: Yay, thanks so much for doing this swap with me. I can't wait to fill up my book with all your wonderful creations. ON to round 2.

Comment: Love it! Can’t wait for the next one!

Comment: Wow! I love it!! The ATC itself is fantastic and I love how the letter and envelope fitted the theme too! I was super pumped before I even opened anything haha :D Thanks so much, you're really talented!

Comment: I absolutely love the photo you sent! It's awesome! I also enjoy photographs that are taken through layers and at interesting angles. I actually thought the slight blue tint added a nice touch! Thank you so much!

Comment: I loved what you did for this ATC. You're very talents. I'm loving all the HP ATCs.

Comment: Sydney, I love your typewritten note! What cool things we can find in our 'treasure hunts' at thrift stores, right? Your photo is great - so sharp and clear - and the sky seems to have cooperated very nicely to set of the look of the bridge! I love the color so I'm glad you used that tint, and the paper you used is perfect for the subject matter. This was such a nice swap and I hope we get to swap again sometime in the future! Thank you so much!!!

Comment: Wow, you're so talented!! I love my Ravenclaw ATC. Thank you very much!! I love Hufflepuffs too~

Comment: The Red Stewart.:) I love a nice red tartan. Thanks for sending it to me and including the information about the Pendleton Blanket Company. I checked out their website and admired their wool blankets.

Comment: Love the zines and enjoying the music with the zines right now :) Thank you.

Comment: Your zines are so beautiful, and so was the note you typed with your typewriter! I am so impressed!!

Comment: I love this so much. The garden gnome is absolutely fabulous and will be going in a frame. I love the postcards too. What a thoughtful package. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for the Portland PC! I've not visited Oregon, but hope to. South Carolina has a lot to to see, but the summer humidity is rough 💦. Fall is the best season here, in my opinion.

Comment: So perfect! Love everything! Especially the book mark and the envelope! Thank you for the thoughtful swap!

Comment: Beautiful card and gorgeous handwriting!! Sounds like Portland is a city I would love to see with all the art qualities. I love to look at actual footage of Monets pond, the fish and colors all around. Thank you!!
