MIM: #149 Glitter Embellishments

Here I am last minute girl again for the PTI Make it Monday Challenge!

I LOVE glitter- so I had a fun time using my Xyron to use different glitters on one embellishment!

I used the butterfly die from Love Lives Here & the sentiment is from Trendy Trees.

The glitter is doodlebug in the middle & prisma on the edges; ink is versamagic pixie dust.

I used a Core'dination tag for my base; May Arts 5/8" pink scallop edge ribbon & grape burlap string to tie it all up.

The question in the PTI forum yesterday was what percent of your projects do you use pink on... Ha! I think the last several have!

Erin was first again- can I manage another last entry this week?

Thanks for stopping by!

January 2014 PTI blog hop

The month's go faster & faster don't they?

This month the PTI blog hop challenge was to use pink- I can do that! ;)

I used the poppy stamps after embossing a frame with my Spellbinder dies. The flowers are stamped with Tsukineko versamark & pixie dust ink then embossed with Stampendous clear powder. The stems are in Delicata gold- swoon!

I added the 1/4" chevron twill by cutting slits at the edge of the 'frame'.

Thank you so much for stopping by- happy hopping!! 

Harry Potter Cape

I'm up at May Arts today sharing the details on how Hadley & I made this:

Head over to check it out (and some other fun details from the Harry Potter party)- I'd love to hear what you think while you're there!

MIM #148

My friend Erin pointed out that she tries to be first for Make it Monday, and I try to be last. I don't actually plan it that way, but it seems to be the way it works out! So here I am again- probably last!

 I admit that I thought it looked like blurry stamping in the video- but thought it worth the try. Turns out I like it! (should've stuck with one color for the sentiment though...)

I used the pretty peony image & fresh ink. They all have at least 2 colors, and the lower images have three. I was going for a bit of an ombré look.

I probably would've worked on something earlier- but was entirely too distracted by the Seahawks game! They're going to the Super Bowl!!!!! GO HAWKS!!!!!! It was also superhero spirit day at school on Friday, so I had my hands full working on Hadley's plan- I will share more on that later.... ;)

Thanks for stopping by- love to hear what you think! ;)

MIM #147

Here I am just under the wire again for Make it Monday! This week really flew by!

I'm using Star Prints- turns out I have very few sets this technique would work with!

My stars! Those center ones are tiny!

 PTI cardstock, smoky shadow ink; all other inks are Fresh Ink.

 Can you see I've popped up some of the stars? Scrapbook Adhesives Dodz did the trick.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello!

I'm up at May Arts today with this fun project!

Head over to see how to put it together; I'd love to hear what you think!

MIM: #146 angled backgrounds

Making it barely for this week's MIM challenge!

Patterned papers are DCWV; will link ribbon later! (May Arts of course!)

Yes, I know this pic is not in focus, but Hadley was helping me practice with a bokeh filter- check out the heart flames in the background! :D

We went to my in-laws this weekend & Hadley shot an official Red Rider bbgun (it was my FIL's from his childhood)! It's the first time she's even held a gun & she thought it was pretty fun & had surprisingly good aim! Perhaps a future marksman?  Thankfully not one eye was shot out!

Thanks for stopping by!
