January 2015 KIAE Signups Closed/Partners Posted

Wow, that took forever!

[Craft Nerd]

Wow, Heidi and April, I'm impressed that you got your projects finished already.  And they are fabulous. 

I love the kit April sent me. 

I've got both my required projects started but nothing finished yet.  And I definitely have visions of what to do with the rest of the kit April sent me.

The photos for my tag and the kept kit tag are on the gallery.
I haven't learned how to get them here on my iPad.

Both of my January 'requires' are done & in the mail. I'm ok with them. Now to check out the ones in the gallery!

How is everyone doing on their kit projects? I was done fairly early this month and my swap partner, Yankee, is done with her required projects too.

Hoping to see more projects soon. Working on February's requirements now

Heidi kindly uploaded the piece from my KEPT.

Rather than sharing the whats & hows there, I'll do them here...

The base is one of several wonderful tags that CG sent me me. I shortened it a bit & several stamped images from my kept kit--the watches & the monkey 'god'. All were fussy-cut & the monkey was enameled with Judikins 'Diamond Glaze'.

I did Bargello work on this for StampWilly's Oldies Challenge using PPs in the kit.

The 'EP'd' clock face used a stamp from a set I won in a past 'Bingo' during a Fest.

Here's the card I made with the kit from Looser. All the papers are from the kit and the bird stamp is a new one I got at the 50% off sale, hehehe.

I haven't done my tag yet. Still trying to clear off my desk and find things!

[Craft Nerd]

I'm still working on both of my projects.  My kept kit project is not cooperating.  But I think all the bits and pieces for my received kit project are dry and they just need to be assembled.   I'm planning to finish them up tomorrow.

Cool tag, Daniel - very Dahli-esque. I love it.

SWLady - you did a great job on the bargello.

[Looser]

SWLady was unable to photo my KIAE 'recieved' project separate from the Jan, ATC. Sok! They make an interesting scene.

For the KIAE piece I used a stamped image to make the tag base & 2 of the sentiment images--plus lots of ink & crayon work.

I finally got mine finished and uploaded.  One of these months, I'm not going to be the last one to post their projects.

Here's the kit I made: kit

Here's the tag I made with my kept kit: kept kit tag

When I was putting together my kit, I had the tag in mind.  Then I got April's fabulous kit, which had tags in it.  So I decided to make two tags this month. Recieved Kit Tag

Great job Nerd!! I love everything you did with both kits 

Looks like this closes out the January swap! Now onto February!! 

[SWLady]

I have a chance to upload a better picture of the tag Daniel made with the kit I sent him. It is so creative!

Thanx for the 2nd share, Kathy! Love that you were able to show the tag closed & 'open' in one upload. How'd you do that, pal?! Very cool!

I shared some of the 'how I did' in the comments. When I got the kit from SWL, I 'knew' I had to use the "climb a tree" sentiment image she included. And even I like the way the 'Distress Ink-over-crayon' came out this time. It does look like 'pounced' work, but it ain't.
