WW - Pin Ups

Wednesday caught me off guard yet again!

I've been trying to work ahead of schedule and then I forget what

day it actually is! 

Today's Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge is

Pin Up Girls.

Who doesn't enjoy a well done pin up?

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring WW this week. 

I went with the Sassy Bunny Pin Up for this ATC.

I went all sparkly with lots of Stickles!

ATCs are very easy, quick, and great fun to make.

They're a great way to use up scraps of precious papers 

and trims, and a good way to try out new techniques, as well.

Join us this week over at Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenges.

Try it, you might LOVE it!     

Hippie Birthday!!

Today is my MIL's birthday.

She is a true hippie at heart. She washes her feet and doesn't

reek of Patchouli, but she is quite a free spirit.

She is quite a prolific crafter, and she is also the person who introduced me to the world of polymer clay.

Basically, as far as MILs go, she ROCKS!

I had this perfect digital image from Sassy Studio Designs,

and I paired her up with some hippie-type paper (from the $ store, I think).

Then I attempted the new hair coloring technique that I saw recently.

Not real happy with it, but practice makes pefect right?

What's a hippie without fleurs?!

Voila! 

I layered 5 paper Primas, and then as if that weren't enough, I added a flower brad.

Then, I glued a peace sign button onto the brad and Stickled it!

My MIL is one of my biggest fans as far as my cards go, and she keeps all of the cards I have made for her and my FIL in a basket by her front door to show people.

She keeps her favorites displayed on the table in her foyer.

I think I'll be seeing this one in the foyer next time I'm at her house.
