I'm going to miss so much about this team ! The kits are phenomenal, and the ladies on the team are like family! Anywayssss i do hope you all like my clock! hugs!

Prima Mini Album in a Box

Hey lovely ladies, i'm here today with a DT project for Discountpapercrafts Etsy store. Cathie is all stocked up on lots of yumminess! G45 STaples, Ingvild Bolme Resins, Tim Holtz goodness, Prima Flowers. You name it, she's got it!

I created this file type mini album for my mommy's Mothers Day present. I didn't get to snap pix before i added the pix, so you will see some of my family and me. I didn't show the backs of the pages, cause there are personal messages on there. I hope you all like what I did. This was very much inspired by Jade from Jadedstudios.

 



Secret Garden Matchbox Dresser

Hey lovely ladies! I'm here today with a tee tiny little project! no bigger than the palm of my hand  :) So cute though! I will have a tutorial on this in the next week or so. I got the idea from Pinterest, someone had done one with just 2 drawers, i had to try it out! I used the Secret Garden paper, so pretty! The paper and almost all of the embellishments are from DiscountPaperCrafts Etsy store. Cathie is STOCKED UP on amazing yumminess! You have to check it all out!

Hope you like it :) Hugs!

So i wanted to try something new, and make a special lady in my life a necklace! May be a small project, but its packing lots of Shimmerz!!!

 The chain has been covered in a mixture of Jilted Jade and Frosty's Got the Blues Shimmerz. These little paint pots are extra thick and creamy! took to the metal so well!

 I dyed the seam binding with Olive Branch Spritz and Abominable Blue Vibez.

Inside of the metal feather charm I sprayed some paper with 24 Karat Vibez and Cotton Candy Spritz.

 The resin heart from the Ingvild Bolme Shabby Chic Treasures was gessoed, sprayed with Shimmeringz Concrete and Pop Art Pink Vibez. Then dabbed with a bit of gesso again.

The corner resin piece from Ingvild Bolme was painted with Frosty's Got the Blues Shimmerz , then sprayed with Shimmeringz Concrete and heat set until it was baked on!

I had fun playing with some jewelry! Hope you like it!

Next up is Lydell's Blog

Thanks for playing along with us!! Have fun, and be inspired!
