Sharing a Pretty Little Project!

I realized yesterday after I finished my post about making the Design Team at Scrappin' Goodtime that I didn't post my project that I submitted.  So, I thought I'd come back today and do that.  I'd love to write more, but I have some Christmas Tags that I need to make (Special Order) and I really want to get them finished (started?)

For my Project I used a Melissa Frances Glass Globe.  The Base is covered in Blue Glass Glitter (also from Melissa Frances.  For the Pedestal I used the Tim Holtz Rosette Die, but didn't make a "complete" Rosette.  I just used it to make the stand.  The Blue Glitter Paper was inked, and each fold of the stand was also inked (I likes Chestnut Roan and use it on EVERYTHING!)  The Bottle Brush tree is from Tim Holtz, and the blue "Ornaments" are actually Crop-a-dile Punches that i made.  Each "ornament" has also been inked.  The Star on top of the Tree is a Star Stick Pin from Maya Road that I added color to.  The Top of the Globe was coated with Mod Podge. I then glittered it, and after it was dry i applied another coat of Mod Podge.  A Ribbon was added because I thought it NEEDED a bow!  Just like a present! :0)  The Glitter Trim on the bottom of the Globe is also from Melissa Frances.  And there is a hidden feature added to the Globe.  The Base of the Globe (the underneath) is actually a pullout album that you can add photos to.  I LOVED making this little ornament! and Since the Bottle Brush Trees come in a pack of Two (one big, one small and a wreath) I have another tree so I can make a BIGGER one for me!




Don't Forget about the Holiday Open House This Weeked

I mailed my box of Make and Takes to the store today.  There are only 24!  So if you would like to be able to make one of mine, and you are local (or close to local) make sure you stop by the store on Saturday.  I'm going to post a photo of my Make and Take tomorrow. 

Have a Great Night!

When One Door Closes....

You know that saying don't you?

When One Door Closes another Opens.

It might take a little while FOR that door to open, but with patience it does happen!

You would think that I would have learned that by now! lol

So what is this door? 

Yes, I made a Design Team!

I am now a member of the Scrappin' Goodtime Design Team.  Scrappin' Goodtime, located in Corsicana, Texas isn't your "Ordinary" Scrapbook Store!  At this particular store you can Shop, Crop and Drop!  I LOVE that saying!  Actually "Drop" means that you can stay the night!  HOW?  The owner, Susie has an extention on the store and has a Retreat Area!   I LOVE this place!  (and I need to schedule my next retreat!)

I guess you could say that I took a few years off.  Rusty Pickle was my last Design Team that I was on...I tried, and tried, and well you know that saying about the door right?  It just takes the right door to open!

Just wanted to share my news AND share one of my first projects that I completed for Scrappin' Goodtime!



 ALSO, this weekend at Scrappin' Goodtime Susie is having an Christmas Open House.  The Open House is on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Here's the info in case you are in the area!

Now, you know I REALLY want to be at this Open House, but due to circumstances beyond my control (cough, cough, Football PlayoffGame cough, cough)  won't be able to attend.  BUT, I do have a Make and Take that will be available during the open house.  I'm really sad that I can't be there, and I planned on being there, but we were just informed that the Playoff Game was on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.  And since I live in Allen, the Open House is in Corsicana, and the game is in Mesquite, added in with my husband and I having to share a car on Saturday...I really didn't have much choice.  

To those that are attending the Open House!  I hope you like my little kit!  (I might post a picture of it tomorrow!) 

Have a GREAT night!
