It’s a Guy Thing…

Hello again, and welcome back.  Today I have a project that's definitely meant for the guy friends you know that’s not into lace and bows LOL!!  We have several Fireman friends we give gifts to that I put bought tags on, not one I’ve made.  So this year, I thought I would try and make a few masculine tags for them (way outside my comfort zone).

Sorry this post is so short, but I must run.  I have several things I’m working on so I will be back real soon.  

That's it for me today, remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Happy Valentine's Day...

Hi there, I'm so glad to be back again...  As most of you know, I have been sick with the flu for almost two weeks, and glad to say that I'm feeling much better now :)  I still get tired easily, but hopefully that won't last long. 

I have a sweet little card to share with you today wishing all of you a Happy Valentine's Day.  I hope you enjoy your Valentine's Day with loved ones, I know I will.  This card is layered with foam tape between each layer, and pearls from Want2Scrap. I couldn't resist using that little flower from Prima, it's so cute, and the color is perfect.  I went around the edge of the wings/heart with a Copic Marker, and used twine for the bow.

That's it for today.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Joyful Snowman Ornament

Hello again dear friends, I'm back today with another sweet little Christmas ornament that includes lots of glitter and bling.  It's for a friend that collects Snowmen (so do I) during the Holiday Season.  I used several die templates from Spellbinders, with foam tape in between each layer, and added a hint of blue with Copic Markers.

Wishing You Joy

Hello again, I'm back today with another Christmas tag for a dear friend that decorates her home all white for the Holidays.  Her home is always so pretty and bright, but the white theme would never work at our house with all the kids running in and out LOL!  

At first I used white paper, but felt it needed something, so I  switched to the blue and white paper for a touch of color.  The pearl's were white, but I used a Copic Marker to color them a light blue (except the top and bottom pearls).  I also cut/embossed thin chipboard (cereal boxes), and glued cardstock to it.  Because this project is light in color, I had to darken my pictures, and I took a lot of close-ups.  

That's it for today, but I'll be back soon.  Remember you can click on the pictures to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Want2Scrap Vintage Christmas Ornament -Tag

Hello again. I hope everybody is enjoying their Christmas Season with lots of family, friends, shopping and good food.  We’ve had a slow start, but now in full swing with all the season has to offer. But the most important is family.

My project today is a Vintage Christmas Ornament/Tag.  I know I've mentioned this a few times before, but we have many friends that are big on wine, and get together for wine tasting.  So each year we give them a bottle of wine, and I make a custom tag that fits their décor, and colors to place on the bottle.  I think it’s so funny that they love seeing the different tags I’ve made for them, and look forward to receiving them more than the wine LOL!!  Then use them as a Christmas decorations the following year.  I don't mean to keep repeating myself, but it's the purpose for the ornament LOL!

I made a quick step-by-step video showing you how this lovely project was created.

Christmas Bling, Bling a Bling!

Hello again. I hope everybody had a Wonderful Thanksgiving, with lots of family, friends, and good food. We had to cancel our plans because both DH and I have been sick with colds and flu, but we still have plenty to be thankful for.

My project today is truly one of my favorites. The Christmas theme around our house this year is bling, and more bling; the more the merrier I say LOL!! From top to bottom this project is approx. 7" long, and I had a hard time taking a good picture. When this piece was finished I was ready to put up my Christmas tree. Enjoy the Season :)

I made a quick step-by-step video showing you how this lovely project was created.

My project today is quick, and shabby using pretty products that work beautifully together.   I covered the Nestaboard with Snow Cap Acrylic Paint making sure to get around the edges, and  while still wet, I applied my cardstock that was cut/embossed with the Fancy Tags Two die template.  Stamp your sentiment, and apply the Nestabling Pearls as shown.  I also used the Acrylic Paint Dabber's on the bottom two layers of the card front after I distressed the edges with the Distrezz-it-All.  Add your ribbon, butterfly, and little Prima flower and you are done.  

Be sure and visit all the Designers listed above for some wonderful projects.
