Bling!

This months i {heart} papers challenge is to use bling on your project. I wouldn't call that a "challenge", because who doesn't love to use bling??? I decided to do another picture frame because they are so much fun! First I painted it black and then I added a ton of embellishments. I was thinking of my 4 year old, Makenna, when I made this, so I had to add a blingy ladybug (her fave!) and an 'M'. These Zva crystal are SO easy to use, and super sparkly in real life. I couldn't find the perfect picture to put in the frame, so I just stuck a piece of cardstock in there for now. Next I added the little swirly wires, and the round tags. I got these from a friend, so I'm not sure where they're from. I added rhinestones to the middle of the swirls and to the bottom corner. Ok, my FAVORITE part of this frame..... THE SILK FLOWERS! OMG, they are SOOO FABULOUS. This is no prima flower, folks. (lol) They are very light, but almost have a puffy thickness to them. Love love love them. I need more!

I'M MOVING

I want to apologize that my posting has slowed down. We are in the process of selling our house and moving from North Carolina to California. We've been really busy getting ready for the move and haven't had a lot of time for stamping. The packers are coming on the 13th, and I will probably be without my stamping supplies for a while. We are leaving here on the 18th, driving to Wisconsin to visit dh's family, then to Iowa to see my Grandma, then to Colorado for a couple weeks to visit my parents, and finally to California on August 11th. DH is military, so I won't have my stamping stuff until we get a house. The waiting list isn't long so hopefully we'll get a house soon after we get there. I'll have my laptop, so I'll keep you updated along the way! =D

We {heart} dad!

I made this card for DH for fathers day.

The bears are suppose to be all 4 kids =D (Patrick also has a 15 year old daughter, that is with us every summer.)

Shimmerz Blog Hop!

Welcome! If you have arrived here from Ali's blog, then you are on the right track. If you haven't, then you will
want to go back and start at the Shimmerz blog to go in the correct order.



I had a lot of fun painting this flower with lots of different colors of Shimmerz! The colors I used are Magenta, Marigold, Key Lime, Aqua Marine, Sky Blue, and Pink. I cut the tag with Spellbinders, and tied it on with metallic string. I stamped the sentiments with Papertrey Ink stamps, and added Ocean Tides PTI ribbon. I used a white gel pen to make the lines on the bottom.


Okay, so your secret word from me is Birthday, and now I am going to send you over to Christine's blog.

Shimmerz Dare

This week the Shimmerz design team was dared to create/alter a frame using Shimmerz products.

First I painted this frame with lime colored acrylic paint. (FolkArt yellow citron, to be exact.) Then I painted the whole thing with Key Lime Shimmerz. It gave it the perfect shimmery sheen! Then I stamped the polka dots with SU craft ink. I lightly sprayed the flowers with Baby's Breath Spritz. I just LOVE the perfect amount of sparkle that Spritz gives. I adhered the ribbon, flowers, and SUInk buttons, and voila, an adorable frame!





Please check out what the other design team members created, and join in... if you dare! =)
