Comment: Connie this is just lovely! I love that you have worked so many bits of ephemera into this beautiful composition. Love the kitten, the splashes of gld, the vintage perfume label - it's all just perfectly put together. Thanks for continuing to be my Swap Bot partner in crime! And you always send the best extras! I love all of these and the envelope you folded for them to go in - I'm going to try to unfold it and see if I can recreate one like it! Hugs.

Comment: Connie, thank you so much for the lovely little vintage flower bundles, LOVE them and sure can’t wait to use them in future pieces - journal page, and maybe a card or two. Thanks for being such an awesome swap partner, and thanks for the cool goodies as well.

Comment: Hi Connie -- Your wonderful master board arrived and I'm very excited to use it in the next part of this swap. The background you created will be perfect for part two of this creative process. Thank you for the lovely extras, too. So fun swapping with you!

Comment: Oh Connie, once again a star studded piece of your creativity. The regal feel of the gold and the lovely lasses auburn hair against the green holiday background is magnificent. I love the trim used as her crown and the emerald embellishments. You never disappoint. Thank you also for the bits and pieces. Stay well.

Comment: Hi Connie and you hit the nail on the head with the Arctic Blue ink box card. I had so much trouble finding the right shade of blue but you got it perfectly. Love the touches of glitter and the metallic blue trim at the bottom. And the woman's image that you used has that wonderful 1930's or 40's vintage Hollywood feel to it. Love it! And thanks for the extras and for letting me know where you got them!!

Comment: Connie: This one is just perfection! The red shoes, the red flowers, the British emblem, the 4 real buttons and the cute little girl holding it all together - just wonderful!! And thank you so much for the extra images - love them!!

Comment: Hi Connie! I love this pretty icy, silver blue doll house tag! So much lovely, sparkly mixed media to look at! This has been such a fun series! Thank you for such a great swap!

Comment: Connie, you nailed this swap. The color Crimson is spot on and the details are perfect. I love the background, you know I love "stars" the necklace, and crown details are so beautiful. Thank you also for all the goodies. Stay well.

Comment: Connie! Your beautiful twinchies are here and I love them! They will make a perfect valentine's display on my mantle. I have not completed my set yet, but I found it funny that the images I am using are also three "painted" couples. I guess we were on the same wavelength for this swap! Thanks, also, for the extra goodies you enclosed; you are always so generous.

Comment: Connie: I love this index card you sent me!You created the most interesting background for this and all the required elements just shine! Love the Abe image - is that a stamp that you heat embossed? Brilliant! And glad you are enjoying the series - I am too and we keep having pretty good participation so that keeps me going on with it! A swap from you is always a very special treat!

Comment: Loved how you worked this ATC. The Gothic look frame is incredible. I also have a fav vintage Santa I use. Love the Old World style Santas.

Comment: Connie! I am the luckiest gal in the whole wide world! This creation of yours is by far my most favorite of my lifetime of swaps! I can’t get over its beauty and balance, it sings to me in such a beautiful way. The colors, the background, the images and balance are spectacular. It is going to be displayed on my desk for enjoyment as well as inspiration. I am in the market for a new printer, may I ask you your make and model? And if it is a Inkjet? Thank you so much for this wonderful piece and the lovely goodies.

Comment: Your incredible beautiful tag has arrived, thank you so much :)! I love the earth-tone colours with a touch of sparkle and all the autumnal details. And you always make such a neat work both front and back. Thank you also for the lovely extras!

Comment: Dear Connie--I got your ATC today and it is fabulous! I think even more than the creepy monster on the movie poster, I just love the rows of people who are in the audience watching in horror!! What an incredibly clever way to depict this Creature Feature ATC. Thank you for this beauty, and for the extra paper goodies you included!

Comment: Wow! I am blown away by the absolutely spectacular Halloween goodies you sent! The ink box card made me swoon. I am an English teacher and The Raven is one of my favorites.

So special! And I love all of the images you sent. I truly appreciate every wonderfully detail and I must admit, I feel a bit spoiled. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me.

Comment: Such a beautiful card! Love it!

Comment: I love the collage you created for me. It's going on my wall. I enjoy these challenges of collaging together images that don't normally belong together. The one I created for my partner looks radically different than yours:) You really used all of the elements in such a beautifully creative way. Thank you. And thank you for the extras. Have a wonderful day.

Comment: Dear Connie - Thank you for the fabulous ATC! You could not have picked a better snark for me (or my husband). I think I remember birthdays better than I remember to cook! It's so fun to let off some sarcastic steam on these ATCs!! Thanks for the extra papers, too!!

Comment: Thank you so much for your gorgeous card and extras. I LOVE what you created <3

Comment: Connie, this master board is just stunning!

Thank you for always making something special.. And thank you for the gorgeous extras too!!

Comment: Oh Connie - this inbox card is just divine! Love the background that you created for this and the embossing around the edges. The woman's image just sets it all off to perfection!

Comment: Connie, I am so excited about this swap now that I have received your Part 1. Such a beautiful piece. I cannot wait to get started. These 2 parts swaps are fun. Thank you also for the great bits and pieces. Stay well.

Comment: Oh Connie! This doll house tag Is just perfect! I love how you made the heads of the boy and girl stand out a bit to give them some dimension. The vintage report card in the background is just right and all the elements you added - the bottle of ink, the stacks of school books, and the little row of students at their desks at the bottom - is that a stamp?? So cute! So pleased with how well this is going so far and excited to have enough to start assembling a little booklet together. Think Halloween is next up! And thanks for the extras - you always send the best things! Hugs.

Comment: Hi Connie! I love this ATC you "stamped" for me! I'd recognize a Character Constructions stamp anywhere! I used to do semi monthly swaps with a group and only requirement for the theme was to use Catherine's stamps. The group was around for quite some time and finally folded, but I have a whole drawer full of her beautiful stamps. Love the background that you created with the stamped flowers, and the girl's image is one of my favorite CC stamps - she has such a serene look on her face. I think we should try this one again - I think we might get more takers because it makes for a great swap. Glad you are enjoying your alone time!! Hugs!

Comment: Quite the dedicated follower of fashion, lol! Thanks for the fun card. Love the envelope you tucked it in!

The little bird and the old guy with the crown really jump out at me on this one! Just brilliant! And you always send me the best extra goodies - the little folder is so cute and I'm going to go to her site and find it. And love all the other printable as well - and don't have a single one!! Cheers my Arty Friend!

Comment: Connie first off I'm sorry more didn't sign up for this one. But the index card I got from you is stunning. It's got wonderful dimension to it, I love the vintage couple you chose, and the touches of brass and gold are prefect. It really is quite exquisite! It shall be residing henceforth in my Junk Journal for safe keeping! And thank you for the wonderful extra goodies - squee!! The Catherine Moore paper doll is amazing - I used to participate in the swap group that exclusively used her stamps and it closed awhile back, and I miss it. Her stuff is really special and this little doll is gorgeous. Love how you put the letters inside the little envelopes along the hem of her skirt - brilliant! And love all of the cut outs too - share with me some of the places you find your ephemera!! Hugs.

Comment: Dear Connie! Thank you for the fabulous tag -- I just love the shape of it -- so unique!

I am looking for the perfect place to hang it so I can admire it on a daily basis. Thanks, also, for the extra goodies. You always send me such wonderful ephemera! I really appreciate your generosity and talent!

Comment: Connie, this cornucopia coin is just beautiful...as is everything your fingers touch! Thank you for always sending the very best artwork, and also for the lovely pile of gorgeous extras...I love Roxy (Rachel) too! I feel like I know her, and her daughter and husband as well. (It made me a bit weepy to hear her husband "Steffi" talking while making pizza in one episode...my husband came to the US from Sicily at age 27, and the accent is so familiar!)

Comment: How in the whole wide world did you know I am learning Italian? The gal in your collage has an Italian book in her gloved hand. I love the stacked layers of Autunno (Italian) delights and the textured background. The music, the mounded planter with abundance and the perfect deep green leaves really make this card pop. You never disappoint and it is always a thrill to have you as a swap partner. Thank you so much Connie. I'm looking forward to more and more swaps with you. You are the best.

Comment: Connie, I always get so excited when I see you are my swap partner, you never, ever disappoint. Your Tim Holtz paper doll is no exception. The funny thing is we must have the same paper doll package because the gal in the polka dot dress spoke to me too as I created. Your composition is delightful and the colors balance so perfectly. She looks as though she is off to church or a special picnic. Your backgrounds are always so terrific. Thank you also for the great reuse of the envelopes, washi tape and goodies. Stay well Connie.

Comment: Connie! I hated to take this apart to see what goodies were inside because it looked so cute the way it arrived! Thank you so much - this is just fabulous. I love that you did actual stitching on the front pocket - genius! And so many fun goodies inside - I have the Catherine Moore skeletons girl stamp that you used and I haven't gotten it out in ages so plan to bring that one back into the Halloween rotation. So many cute additions to my Halloween stash. Thank you so much! I wish I could see how everyone finished their pockets - I think these are really fun!

Comment: Wow Connie, you certainly never disappoint. The contrast of the image on the black background with elements really makes this image pop and does not take away from the composition.

Thank you - for the beautiful card and the pack of extra goodies!

Comment: Hi Connie, once again you have wow'd my creative brain. The images of the ladies are so beautiful and I believe you created the coloring, is that Copic? It is extraordinary! The background, the measuring tape and added gold, scissor and bobbin detail is divine. Thank you also for the historic explanation of the 1920's fashions. You are a wonderful swap partner. I'm thrilled with this piece. Thank you also for the extra bits and bogs. Stay well.

It's actually little dress with a coordinating coat over it - love the valentine buttons and the red glitter glitz along the neck and hem of the dress. And the postcard you mounted it on is so pretty - even the back of it! Love the red swirly gemstones, the pearls and the little gold cupid. This is just so amazing! I knew whatever you made for this one would be extra special. And many thanks for the pretty extras - love the paper doll cut outs. I'd happily pay extra to have someone else do the fussy cutting for me. Thank you for always being the best swap partner! xo

Comment: Thank you Connie, for the beautiful glue book page! I'm so lucky to have another one of your pages in my possession. As with the Autumn page I received from you, it is residing in a frame where I can look at it frequently throughout each day. I find myself in a creative struggle with this format, so I especially enjoy gazing upon your lovely creations!

Comment: Love the house you made for me.the little girl is so cute.Thanks so much.

And thank you for the extras - you always send the best goodies. Love the tags and where did you find the little girl die cut? I love that and the fact that someone has done all the cutting for you! Thanks my friend, for another wonderful swap!!

Comment: Hi Connie - I got your vintage Santa ATC today and it's just perfect! It has such a mid century feel to it. Love the rocket ship and the silver border that you created around all the edges. Some time you are going to have to explain to me how you make the custom labels that go on the back of your projects. They are always so cute. And what a wonderful stash of goodies you sent me - the napkins are so pretty and those little cut out dresses are adorable. Do you remember where you found them. As always, swapping with you is a special treat and your always bring the very best to whatever you do. xo

Thank you so much for the thoughtful extras as well. I have already used some of them in my crafting. Thank you so very much!

Comment: Connie I am overwhelmed by the artistry and beauty and perfection of the tag "book" you sent me! I love all things Halloween and Literary and you found a way to combine both in the most darkly beautiful piece of art I have ever received on swapbot. I quite literally over the moon and if I could give you 1000 hearts, I would! The embossing, the COLORS, the trim, the way you printed the perfect quotes on the perfect pictures, the ribbons, the cover!!!!! You are a very gifted artist and I feel truly special to have received such a wonderful treasure in the mail. I also LOVE the extras and Dresden trim you included. And that little cat paper doll!!!! AHHHHHHH! That went directly up on my Halloween tree. Thank you so very much, dear Connie, for sharing your artistic talent with me. I love everything and am feeling especially lucky and blessed this week.

Comment: Connie, your Paper Moon ATC is simply wonderful! I love the dimensional starry background, and your details are sheer perfection. I love the star of the show...the serious-looking gentleman with a cigarette...he looks a bit like the kind of "bad boy" I've always been attracted to (to my detriment)! Thank you for always sending such wonderful artwork to your swap partners!

Comment: Thank you, Connie, for the fantastic coin! When I saw this one on Pinterest, it brought back memories of my brother and me riding in the backseat of our car. We didn't have a station wagon, but my mom would put suitcases on the floor so we essentially had a flat area where we could sleep and play. No seatbelts, of course!! Thanks for helping me remember the simpler times with your lovely coin!

Comment: Connie!! This may be short but my love for your work...and YOU...is long, my friend! LOVE IT!
