Valentine Tussie Mussie Cone Swap 2012 results!!

Here are the results of the Valentines Tussie Mussie Cone Swap that I hosted. 

WOW! Is all I can say! 
The submissions were just over the top 
Fabulous! Amazing!! Gorgeous!! & Creative!! 
I wanted to keep every single one!! I had 30 people join. This was a crazy train for me. I had decided early on I wanted to make everyone a special giftie! So I been also sewing like crazy!! 

I really wanted to show every single thing that everyone included with their swaps. There were some wonderful and generous hostess gifts. Due to the amount of cones submitted for the swap, I will post pictures of the hostess gifts in another blog post as well. If you look at the top of my post page there are tabs. One is titled Valentine Swap 2012. You can go there to see ALL the submissions and DETAIL'S (or just click here) and close ups for each individual tussie mussie. As I mentioned it would be just too much to post them all here and I try to be fair and show all the pictures. I also put a slide show at the bottom of this blog, but it will be the first time I attempted this particular one, so I do not know good it will show all the cones as of yet!! 

OK SOOOOO here we go!!!

If your blog link is not posted and

Happy Valentines!!

I had all intentions on making all these valentines this year...and here we are 1 more day to go..and I only managed to finish a few...

Life just gets in the way doesn't it!!
Well, I am pretty happy with the ones I made this year even though there were only a couple.

The first one is called "blue valentine"
She measures about 18" in height and is made of crepe paper, lace, vintage trade card, trim, buttons and some glitter.

The next one, I call "My Deer Heart"

I used a a felt heart and attached ruffled and shredded crepe paper, vintage sheet music and a glittered heart. Then I embellished with a vintage deer, floral picks, bead letters, a brass findings, a silk butterfly, a cameo, and of course!! some glitter!!

I love the color combination of pink and black, so I decided to make these next two with that color combination in mind...

The cone I made with fancy felted paper. It is quite large measures approx. 18" in height. I trimmed the top with these black and pink polka dot napkins I had. Then I layered on top of that ruffled and shredded crepe and vintage tinsel garland. To each side I added a pink feathered bird. I made the Marie doll from a digital altered art image and pipe cleaners, crepe paper and feathers.

This heart was also inspired by the pink and black color theme.

I used a felt pink heart, and trimmed it with some ribbon and ruffled black and white polka dot crepe paper. I added spray pick flowers and a pink feathered bird. I used a cameo and backed it with layered & ruffled  crepe paper. On the other side of the heat I added vintage sheet music and silk rose.

The box I actually made some time ago, but it seemed so fitting to add it to my valentine collection this year because of the themed sheet music I used. In addition, I added a frozen Charlotte head and ruffled layers of crepe paper, and yes as always..some glitter!!!!

Thank you for stopping by. I would love to hear from you!!! I hope you enjoyed my 2011 valentines as much as I enjoyed making them!!!
