Tiny Treats

I put together some {tiny} treats to have around just in case little ones stop by.  If they don't get eaten, I will probably end up putting them in friend's mailboxes at school. 4 nuggets fit perfectly in these tiny glassine bags.

Glitter Pumpkins

I made these pumpkins after work today.  So easy and fun and they don't use as much glitter as you might think. 

This pumpkin is purple, not blue.  No matter how I photographed it, it came out looking blue.

Have a Great Weekend!

Supplies: Mini Pumpkins and Martha Stewart Glitter

Circles and Swirls

I feel in love with the design of Nernia's card.  It felt so fresh and was so pleasing to look at.  I used her design for this card.  You can see her card here.

The long weekend is almost here!

 Thanks for stopping by today.

Checkerboard Christmas

 I couldn't resist making another glitter card.  Now this isn't what I would consider a "more elaborate design" than the previous card, but it does make a cool effect.  I have to say that most of the 'wow' comes from the quality of this glitter.  Martha Stewart glitter really is a great quality glitter. 

 It has the most magnificent sparkle!

 A few people have asked for a tutorial.  Unfortunately, with work I barely have time to make the card let alone a tutorial for it:) So what I have done is taken photos of my Paper Crafts Magazine.  These photos are on page 88 of the November/December 2010 issue. 
I hope that helps!

All That Glitters

Another cool concept from Jessica Witty.  I was dying to try this, but kept it very simple for my first design.  Using an adhesive sheet and an xacto knife, I planned out my pattern.  Revealing first the stripes for red glitter, then peeling back the second set of stripes and adding the second glitter color ands so on... I'm looking forward to trying a more elaborate design next. 

I know in the photo the one glitter looks blue, but it is actually purple. 

I've never used black glitter before this. 

It is so cool in person!

Holiday Tin

I received the new Paper Crafts Magazine a few days ago.  It was filled with ideas that I'd like to try.  One was by Jessica Witty.  She created a  snow globe effect in a tin.  I loved the idea of using the snow inside, but I want to be able to change out my scene.

I am so glad I got Boards and Beams and the companion set.  I just love creating these scenes.  I plan on making the same house for the 3 other seasons so this can be a changing display.  It will be fun to try to incorporate other stamp sets into the scene.  I'm thinking Up Up and Away, Tiny Treats Halloween and Valentine would work.

OLW: Gratitude For Mom

This week's One Layer Wednesday is showing gratitude for your mom.  I chose Raspberry Fizz  card stock because my mom LOVES hot pink!  I used a simple stamp from PTI's Turning A New Leaf stamp set to create a feminine pattern.  

Enjoy the weekend!
