AS Secret Santa swap

Within Alpha stamps design team we had a "secret Santa" swap where we made one handmade gift for one other member and then exchanged for Christmas. I was secret Santa to Lenna Andrews and this is what I made her:









In this hanging I used one of AS Ophelia Images, Ranger crackle paint, distress inks, beeswax, rusted wire and other found objects.




My secret Santa was Frieda Oxenham who made an amazing quilted piece for me:








I just ADORE it! It looks like she machine quilted it and hand beaded it in several places. I have VERY basic sewing skills myself so when I see something this beautiful it really makes me want to learn more!


Frieda you truly do amazing work! Thank you SO much, I will treasure it always!
