AIA:Artsy Not Fartsy Embellishments #1

Scrap bust much? Me too, and tired of the same old swaps but crave to make ART & lovely things. Here's your chance to design and share your creations plus receive something unique in return that isn't passing plain scraps.

Swap: send 5 different embellishments to one partner. Embellishments must be created with more than one layer but not bulky for mailing. Theme is sender choice and random is fine. Golden rule applies: send what you would want to receive.

Embellishments to ponder:

• layered paper clusters
• altered paper clips
• faux layered tickets (3 strips = 1 embellishment)
• paper ruffles (at least 3 inches)
• hidden notecard tags
• stacked die cut
• matchbook
• fabric clusters
• fabric ruffles (at least 3 inches)
• snippet strip (3 inches or longer)
• dangle
• charm
• journal pocket
• journal tag
• specimen card
• layered belly band
• mini notepad/flip pad
• library card pocket
• shaker card
• coin or policy envelope
• faux postage stamps
• altered puzzle piece
• altered guest check
• layered bag topper
• faux vintage postcards
• paper flowers
• DIY washi tape
• a paper embellishment not mentioned, and NOT scrap
