Button Farm Club August Kit

Hello and happy Monday to you all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  This past weekend I worked the Creating Keepsakes Tulsa, OK show.  It is rare that I get to work then return to my own bed.  :)  We had a great show and got to see some local friends!

This week, I am working on my Button Farm Club August kit.  I LOVE this month's kit.  Check it out...


Gosh, isn't that beautiful?  There are lots of soft, feminine touches in this month's kit.  Can't wait to see what September brings!

Today is my day on the Want2Scrap Blog! Hope on over and check out my DIY Dry Erase Board!

OSU Cowboys Necklace with Matching Bow set

Last month, I applied for a Crafter's License from Oklahoma State University. I started a little jewelry business last year and thought it would be great to offer custom OSU jewelry. I was thrilled when my application was accepted and went right to work!

I had purchased both the Square 25 and Round 25 tools from Epiphany Crafts a couple months ago and also grabbed some of their new rhinestone pendants. They make beautiful necklaces!!! Here's a cute kids necklace with matching hair bow...

I love using the Epiphany Crafts tools and epoxy caps because there is NO drying time! Just punch and GO! And I love that the epoxy caps fit into the punch so that I have perfect placement EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! You will definitely be seeing more projects from me using these products!

Be sure to check out the Epiphany Crafts blog for some more inspiration!

Custom Blingy Necklace Pendant

Hey all! Happy Friday! Want2Scrap is having a Linky Party on their blog today so I thought I would share a Bling Pendant I created to wear with one of my beaded necklaces.

These awesome pendants were purchased at a Bead Store in Dallas, TX called Bead on Beads (please note I have not seen them on their website, I purchased them while on a recent trip).  They have a magnetic bail on them so they can be removed and interchanged easily!  I created the image using Inkscape and printed it onto photo paper.  Next, I placed the rhinestones then covered the entire image with a layer of Diamond Glaze.  I used heat set rhinestones, but next time I am going to try using Want2Scraps Bitty Bling!  They are self adhesive so there will be no heat setting...just line 'em up and go!  Oh, imagine the possibilities!!!

Hop on over, check out what everyone is creating and link yourself up!! It is a great way to show off your blog and projects!

Back to School Journal with Want2Scrap

Hello! It is back to school time here in Prue, OK. Can you believe it?! I am sharing a fun journal on the Want2Scrap Blog today. Hope you'll check it out. Here's a sneek peek fo the cover...

Happy Birthday Michele!!!

I have met many wonderful people during my years in the scrapbook industry. Michele Parrish, founder of Want2Scrap is TOP on that list! I met Michele a few years ago just after the release her Nestabling line. We clicked instantly and have been great friends ever since. There aren't enough hours in the day for me to tell you about Michele. She has a kind heart and truly loves what she does. Michele fought and overcame breast cancer and uses that same determination in her business to bring quality products to those who share her passion for crafting. She is beautiful inside and out!!!

Here's one of my favorite pics of the two of us together...

When I heard there was going to be a secret blog hop celebrating her 50th birthday I couldn't wait! It was hard keeping that not-so-little secret too! Michele's favorite colors are pink and black and of course, she LOVES bling. Here's the card I created for her...

I love to make pocket cards and thought it would be fun to make one for Michele. I die cut and assembled my mini paper bag then stamped the focal image using JustRite's Kindness Cling Stamp Set,die cut it using Spellbinders Labels Twenty and added the Want2Scrap Labels Twenty Nestabling in silver. Next I cut a piece of white cardstock using my Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two die templates then added the Nestabling Fancy Tags Two Pink Pearls. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of coordinating patterned paper then added that to the center of the tag. To finish off the front, I added a mixture of pre-made flowers and some I cut using my Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die templates. The Bitty Blossoms are topped off with a 72 Count White Pearl. Next, I created the pull-out for the inside...

I used my Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to creat the base then trimmed a piece of coordinating patterned paper into a little banner piece. After stamping the sentiment I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Fourteen die templates and added the matching Labels Fourteen Nestabling in Silver. To finish it off, I sprinkled a few 72 Count Hot Pink Rhinestones and added a tab using Spellbinders Creative Page Tabs die templates.
