And I thought of Sheila by sending her this package. Sheila mentioned she decorated in the colors barn red, mustard yellow, and soldier blue, so I went with that color scheme.
Sheila blogged about what I sent her, too.
I had some fabric leftover from that paper bag album I made (and shared here); I used it for this project. I made Sheila a pocket organizer. See other pocket organizers I've made here.
I made Sheila a paper bag album scrapbook portfolio. I've made a few of these before.

See more of my paper bag albums here. If you're interested in making your own paper bag album, I have tutorials here and here.

I also made a book using coin rolls. I personalized the book by adding Sheila's blog name "Blessed and Distressed" as inspiration. I got the idea from my friend Jen.
I made a gift tag set, too. All the tags I used were bought from my friend Blanca.

I sent Sheila some vintage lace trim on a bingo card:
Jessica-Sheila racked up! I love all the things you created and the thought you put into it--especially the whimsy jar!Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you did here. The tags and the paper album are wonderful. I love the jar too. I'm in Kansas - the Sunflower State - so anything with sunflowers catchs my eye. YOur swap partner was one lucky lady.
