Happy Birthday to you...

Yesterday was my wonderful friend Apriles Birthday, so everyone, head over to www.divinedesertdivas.blogspot.com to wish Aprile a happy birthday. Hope you had a fabulous birthday my friend!

Sneaky Peek's and a Reminder

Ok, I have a sneak peek at the new Tattered Angels Glimmer Chip Tiles. This one is of the Nature Tiles. I made a banner with it. I'll show you the completed banner after CHA. I love these things! You can use them on a layout, make a little book out of them, home decor, they are just so versatile. I love to spray them with Glimmer Mist and then rub an ink pad over the top when the glimmer is dry to highlight the embossed areas. I also added the Nature framed fonts for the banner to spell out the word welcome. These chip tiles come in several different themes, which I will be showing you sneaks of as I finish them. They come in an ivory color and are four inches wide by 6 inches long. There are 6 designs to a pack. Your gonna love them! Also, I wanted to remind you that my Flip Flop accordian album class is this Saturday at Ever After Scrapbooks in Vista, CA. If you haven't signed up yet, get crackin' cause the class is almost full. Go to www.everafterscrapbooks.com for more info.

New Tattered Angels Goodies and a Giveaway!

Tattered Angels has changed their labels! They are absolutely gorgeous. The glimmer inside is still the same, only the label has changed. I'm giving you a little sneaky peeky here of the new Winter colors. They are:
Arctic Blue, a deep navy blue with a silvery glimmer
Pashmina, a plum color with gold glimmer
Candelight, a warm yellowy orange with platinum glimmer
Frozen Lake, a deep blue-green with blue green glimmer
Peppermint Stick, deep red with a pinkish platinum glimmer
Marshmallow(my new fav) white(yes, white!) with irridescent glimmer

And if that weren't enough, the new pink mats are in. I love the big size, 2x3! If your wondering why you might need a mat that large, take a look at the picture of my work table in my scrappy room. That small, semi unglimmered area in the middle is what my old mat covered. As you might have guessed, I'm a very happy girl! And it's pink! You simply must have one of these. I'll be offering a prize to anyone who comes to one of my classes with one of these babies, so be sure to get one and bring it!

Last but not least: Tattered Angels is having a fabulous giveaway. They will be giving away a set of the new Winter colors to three lucky people. These aren't even out yet folks. Be the first to get your hands on them. Go to the Tattered Angels site here

I Finished Somethin'!

I finished last months Pinecone book club project! I have a bad habit of starting a project and then I get sidetracked somewhere between beginning and middle and never finish it. I have a whole cabinet in my scrappy room full of "have to finish" projects. This particular project was so fun and easy that I finished it! Last summer my daughter went to Santa Cruz with her Grandma on the train and this book is for her to put her pictures and memorabilia in from that trip. This was a Pinecone Book Club kit. If you haven't attended one of these classes you really must. You get an idea book (Pinecone books are some of the best), and a kit to complete one of the projects in the book. You also have the option of purchasing a kit B, which has material to complete another project from the book with different materials from kit A. I attend Pinecone Book Club at Aprile Peel's house once a month. If your interested in signing up please contact Aprile at aprilesattic@gmail.com The club is full for June, but you can still sign up for July. I've actually been making lots of new stuff, but I can't show you yet... top secret stuff you know. With CHA just around the corner, there are lot's of new fun things I get to work with making samples for the show. Keep your eyes peeled, and check out the Tattered Angels site at www.mytatteredangels.com for sneaky peeks of some of the new stuff coming out. The pics are in the blog on the site. I should have a sneak peek for you next week, so keep checking back!

Fathers Day Project, proof that glimmer mist is not just for girls...

Yep, I've heard it before. I can't use glimmer mist cause I have all boys. Well here is a project to prove that you can! It's all in the color selection. Believe me, my husband is no stranger to glitter. He's been dealing with the sparkly stuff for almost 18 years. Regardless, he still would probably not appreciate a glittery froufrou thing for Fathers Day, so I created this box for him using glimmer mist. It has a shimmer to it, but nothing to stop the heart of a non-sparkly lovin' man.
If you want to make one of this little beauties for your father or your man for Fathers Day, I have posted directions and materials on the Tattered Angels Blog at www.mytatteredangels.com
I would like to send out a Happy Fathers Day wish to all those Dad's out there, and to say that the more glitter you can endure, the more man you are!
