Comment: It's always such a pleasure to receive art from you. I love this ATC so much ! The combination of the "water" circles and the fishes is just perfect. Simple and efficient. Thank you so much !

Comment: Amazing Zines! Thank you! 💜

Comment: It's always so nice to receive art from you ! I love this indigo ATC, the idea of a badge through the storm is an evocative one. The soft background and the delicate stamping really make the stack of paper pop ! I didn't think I'd stretch this series over such a long time, at least it got us entertained while the news were not always positive.

Comment: I did not know you made zines and it's such a happy discovery ! I love the ones you sent me. That Odin cross-stitch is adorable, and I can relate to the magic cats bring into our lives. The winter one is beautiful and magical. I love the zucchini flatbread recipe, I will have to try it. I love your collages as always, and it is fun to see them in zine form. A fantastic swap, thank you so much !

Comment: Thank you for all the goodies and the lovely envelope too!

Comment: I absolutely adore everything you put in my package! Thank you so much. I will put them all to good use. =) Cheerios.

Comment: Thank you so much for the fun book page pockets! I love that you sewed on them! (I want to get a sewing machine just for projects like that!!!) It's always fun to find another paper crafter in BC!

Comment: Wow, just wow. This ATC of yours is plain amazing. THe dimensional mod podge can it such a nice depth effect. I keep holing it to the light to enjoy all the tiny details you put in. You always come up with fantastic ideas, it's pure pleasure to swap with you. ^_^

Comment: You sent the cutest stamps for me to use on projects. Even the stamp on the envelope had me jumping for joy - the pink crab apple blossom is in the family of one of my fav's- cherry blossoms. xxMuggleMom

Comment: Thank you for the great pattern, I can see why you liked it and I like it too :) I could do with a new summer dress...

Comment: Well done! Thank you.

Comment: Thank you sooo much for your beautiful ATC! You have a really lovely watercoloring style! :D

Comment: Thank you Allison! :)

Comment: Very interesting subject, and very nicely done. Thanks :)

Comment: Hi Allison! Your beads turned out beautifully! I love your color combos and the accent beads @ top and bottom. Those little blue flower beads are adorable--I LOVE them. Thanks so much for the little envie of used postage stamps--I loved using them. Wonderful swap!

Comment: Thank you! I find Canadian postage stamps on envelopes, from time to time, but I don't have such a variety.

Comment: Thank you for all the lovely washis, and I’m totally stealing your idea of using plant markers for wrapping them!

Comment: the tape is so gorgeous!! thank you so much :) i loved the envelope too :)

Comment: Very cool. Both the cardinal card and the evergreen ATC. Beautiful. This is the frst time I have received an ATC with beadwork. I really like the mixed media work. Thanks so much for making this for me allieo.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely pockets. I quite like the doily you used. Never seen them before. And what a lovely touch to include some collage cards you made. And the small pocket and all the goodness you added in this swap. And then the beads, I assume also made by you. Will have to find a special place for those.

Comment: The architecture theme is really cool - thank you!

Comment: Thank you for this wonderful package, Allison. I enjoyed looking at your profile and finding out how each item tells me a bit more about you. The large spoons for salsa (did I get that right?) was especially creative. It's quite nostalgic to see a book borrowing card too. I couldn't quite figure out the raffle tickets - I am guessing you enjoy raffles or amusement park games. Hope your 2021 is going well!

Comment: It is such an original idea to use the flags to create a dress ! She really pops up against that dark background and the sparkling touches work so well. I'm always impressed by what you create. It is a pleasure to swap with you. ^_^

Comment: Thank you for the lovely ATCs. I really like the use of machine stitching. Aloha

Comment: These already found their way into my journal

Comment: Thank you for the cute Reindeer atc he is perfect. Take care

Comment: The first thing I noticed was the Maud Lewis postage stamp. I didn't know that these are the new Christmas stamps for 2020. I like it. I also like how you used double-sided scrapbook paper for the note. Nice colours and such a nice note. You write well. Thanks for explaining the thought and process that went into your ATCs. The layering and textures are lovely. I especially noticed the tissue on cardstock on the butterflies. It gives it a similar look to actual butterfly wings. Beautiful. Thank you for making these yellow ATCs for me.

Comment: Thank you! Loved the Washington tape, and all the stamps!

Comment: Thank you!! This is so beautiful! I am so excited to make it!! thank you!!! gabi

Comment: First of all, your envelope you mailed the tags in is fantastic! I loved getting it and am saving it for use in some future project. And my 3 tags are great. I love the metallic doilie pieces that you used in each, and your coordinating colors and patterns make them a "matched" set. Such a fun project and such fun to receive the three you made for me! Cheers!
