I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Two swaps have just been announced on the Yahoo Group (both with a January 10th sign-up date).

The first is a Valentine Tag Swap, hosted by Miz Bella (who provided the lovely sample at left), using these die-cut, heavy Chipboard Tags. They come in a a set of 6, on ball chain (you could use them like a swatchbook), and measure 2-5/8″ x 4-3/4″. Curved edges at the top. (You can learn about all the goodies Bella used on her sample tag in the gallery.)

The second swap is a With One Stamp Swap. Start off the New Year with a fun and easy swap! Make 3 original ATCs using the Queen Sweetheart rubber stamp and receive 3 in return. It will be fun to see all the different ways people use the same stamp. And there is special sale pricing on this stamp for swap participants.

This & That

Savannah 3-Sheet Paper Set & Labels & Gaffer’s Tape Set
3 doubled-sided sheets. Pretty slate blue and cinnamon colors with floral and bird accents. Heavy 65-lb paper.

Distress Ink Pad — Walnut Stain
Perfect for adding a vintage, stained, or aged effect to your paper/collage projects. Get the look and feel of walnut ink without all the mixing and mess!

Acrylic Paint Dabbers
Paint Dabbers are the perfect mess-free paint applicator for foam and rubber stamps, cards, scrapbook pages, altered books, canvas, frames and more.

Embossing Ink & Powder
Embossing Ink is used to stamp an image before applying embossing powder. This specially developed embossing ink allows for the ideal amount of “release” to get that vintage worn and weathered look.

Map-Printed Paper Flowers
Pretty die-cut and embossed paper flowers (made of printed mulberry paper). Made from paper printed like vintage maps (both sides are printed). Approx. 12 per package.

Ink Blending Tool & Refill Pads
The Ink Blending Foam creates a smooth transition of ink when applied directly onto papers, tags, chipboard die cuts, canvas, etc., and it gives you better control of ink placement with no more inky fingers. Handle comes with 2 foam pads.

Sanding Grip Block
This little sanding grip from Tim Holtz is the perfect size for sanding all of your craft projects. The ergonomic rubber block has concealed spikes on each end to hold strips of sandpaper and replace them with ease.
