Just a quick Tip!!

Its crazy busy around here....School starts tomorrow and its been shopping and registering and lots of end of the summer complaining about having to come in early and go to bed on time and the dread of getting up in the morning....but I'm happy about it...and after tomorrow, they will be too...because...School is Cool!!

I did this tip for the P K Glitz website and thought I'd share it here too. The tip is that you can use acrylic paint with your stamps and it will act as glue too! woohooo...

I took a little Inkadinkado spider stamp and painted it lightly with black acrylic paint….stamped it and then poured Glitter Glitz in Black all over it….

I waited until it dried. Then brushed off the excess glitter and….a cool and different looking little spider!!

Try it with white paint and snowflakes stamps and Crystal Clear Glitter Glitz for a really pretty snowy sparkle……the ideas are endless…
Well...I'm off...its 104 degrees here after 6pm and its sticky and sweaty...tomorrow is suppose to be even hotter...and I need to get organized!!! ahhhhhhhhh.........
Oh...and.....I'll be having a HAPPY giveaway here soon...so don't forget to check back....

More Than Enough!!

It’s been a while since I made an ATC or ACEO….its even been a longer time since I’ve made a Fairy Tear Bear!! I decided to make one this week and boy…did it take me longer than expected...I'd forgotten how much effort these little bears take!!
I think the end result turned out pretty cute thou...

The title for this Fairy Bear ATC is a little reminder that I think We ALL forget sometimes... the knowledge and belief that we are, already, More Than Enough...remember that...
You can get all the details for this card on the P K Glitz blog and a close up of all that sparkle!!!!
If you would like to see some of my other Tear Bear Fairy ATCs / ACEOs click here, here and here!
I hope you have a "beary" spectacular day and a fabulous weekend! Do you have any plans? Something fun????????

1st Day of School!

Wow...it is still hard to believe that this year I have a High School Senior, a new Middle Schooler and 1 still in Elementary at home...where did all the time go???? My picture is not that good, as always, its my biggest complaint...I hate my point and shoot! The colors in real life are vibrant and the sparkle from the yummy glitter is amazing...I did ask Honey for a new camera for my birthday....so hopefully he's saving his pennies! =:O)

Spring Break is over. The Kids had sleepovers, here and there. We saw Alice in Wonderland. Played in the park. Went into the City one day and hung out at the Wharf and the Pier. Ate too much junk. Went to bed too late and slept in too long and now to its time to get them back into schedule....and the rain is back. How great is that it waited till the end of the break....
I did this page for the P K Glitz blog and you can find all the details over there!! =:O)
I hope you had a fabulous week and next week is nothing but better!
Hugs,

Tin Transformation!

I did this tutorial for the P K Glitz blog and thought I'd share it here too!!

We've all had something that came in a little tin, mints, buttons, ect., don't throw away those tins, reuse them but make them prettier!! (You can also buy brand new tins online or I've seen them at Michaels) Today I'm using a small round tin.

First gather up your supplies: Glitter, Sticky tape, I'm using 1/4" (both of those items you can get at P K Glitz!) =:O). Tin, scrapbook paper, ribbon and small embellishment.

Run the sticky tape along the outside rim of the top lid going all the way around and peel away the protective layer.

Glitter up the sticky tape by pouring generous amounts of glitter on it. Brush off any excess glitter to save.

Next you'll want to cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit the bottom side of the tin and run all the way around. Apply it to the tin using the sticky tape.

Now you're almost done! Fill the tin with a little treat (I used M&M's) or somethin' somethin' and tie a pretty ribbon around it. Add a little embellishment on top, I used my vintage dictionary buttons found here but you can use a tag, a flower, whatever suits you and viola...an adorable little treat tin, perfect for a million reasons!!

Here is another view!

Fun Huh?! I would love to see any tins you decorate!!!!
The Kids are going to be tie-dying some shirts today and hopefully we will then head off to the park for some swinging....Hope your day is fabulous!!
Hugs,
