Butterfly swap

I signed up for a swap where we had to make a card with a butterfly on it and send 10 butterflies to our partner.
Here's what I made:
 Apparently I'm in a pink phase. The background is a journaling card that I cut down, I added the strip of paper, the die cut and the butterfly stickers.
Here are the butterflies I sent:
 some die cuts, journaling cards, stickers and a napkin.
Here's what I got:
 So many butterflies. There's tons, I don't have a picture of them out of their bags because there is so many.
I did use a few to create a card for a co-worker who's leaving the library:
She's going to chase butterflies, so I thought it was fitting. I wish I had a 'good luck' sentiment to add to the bottom.

Altered Paper clips

I signed up for an altered paper clip swap in one of my groups, the theme is butterflies. Here's what I made:
 I used a bunch of stickers to make them. The first one is actually some die cuts I got in a swap. The second one is a layered chipboard sticker I got in a swap. The third is a chipboard sticker from Target. The fourth is a sticker from Dollar Tree. The fifth is a glittery sticker from my stash. The sixth is a wooden sticker.
The backs:
I backed the first one with another die cut and most of the others with buttons. I backed the third one with some paper.
Here's what my partner sent me:
We had to send pictures before we were partnered (I don't care about that, but), and the first picture I sent was the top picture, the hostess asked me to do something more with the first paper clip because it looked pretty plain next to the others, so I added some bling to the middle. And to get the above back where they all look pretty plain, is kind of annoying.
The goodies:

Create your own craft-Butterflies

I signed up for a swap where you basically make 3 projects that involve butterflies. There was a list on what we could choose from: a decorated notecard and envelope, an ATC, a mini pocket letter, two 3 layer embellishments, a large decorated mixed media tag, two embellished paperclips or a keychain/planner charm.
I chose to make a notecard, two paper clips and an ATC. Here's what I made:
For the notecard, I took the background paper from a paper pad (my stash), layered with with some other paper (my stash) and added a wooden sticker (Hobby Lobby). The ATC has a vintage personal letter for the background, with some paper and stickers on top. For the paper clips, I took some lacey stickers (Dollar Tree), stuck them on paper and fussy cut them out.
Here's what my partner sent me:
My partner chose the note card, two paper clips and the embellishments. I love that embellishment in the middle of the photo, the flowers look like they came from a vintage pin.
