Wine Glass Stamped Votive Holder

Everyone tells me to wait for holiday crafts, BUT I CANNOT! 

LOL, I love snowflakes and snowy fun...it's happening people.

Plus it's a wine glass that holds alcohol...just saying'.

This is the latest set of stamps from Avocado Arts and 

of course I can't even handle the awesomeness. 

For this Wine Glass Votive Holder I used embossing powder in gold

around the lip of the glass, then I stamped the snowflakes onto the glass

using StazOn ink in Cotton White with the Season's Tweetings stamps. 

That's IT! It's so pretty and so simple too. It took a couple tries to get the

stamps right with the curve of the glass, so I suggest you try on an old 

jar first, or maybe a glass you can wipe off later with nail polish remover. 

If you mess up, just remove with nail polish remover and start over!

Check out Avocado Arts Stamps they are beautiful.

Sweet Face Of Autism Layout

This is my beautiful boy, I always scrap real life which

includes Autism on a daily basis. 

I hope to spread awareness and show others there is no shame in Autism.

I still do love making layouts and I created

this one for the April issue of Scrap N' Art online magazine. 

Do you know anyone with Autism? Do you have questions?

Ask away! :)

~Dress Forms In Acrylic!~

Good morning  my crafty friends,

Fall is in the air and Salted Caramel Mochas are back at Starbucks! LOL

I found out yesterday and YEA! :) I am not even a Starbucks fan but

I do love that, so fun times. 

Ok anyways

I have a Clear Scraps project to share today but first I 

wanted to share their BRAND NEW Expressions....

this is what I will be working on this week! 

I am SO excited to see COURAGE and BLESSINGS especially. 

But I love them all of course. 

Ok I have a beautiful card to share today, that I created using the Clear Scraps

Clearly Accent Embellishments (Dress Form) and the Momenta Paper Pad and

the new Momenta Metals (love those!).

I also used the Clearsnap Glitter (love that too). 

 If you head to the Clear Scraps blog I made a tutorial on embossing the

acrylic and creating this card.

I love the rich papers and the beautiful acrylic. 

Now I am off to create with the fun new Expressions today, and

finish my new Online Holiday Card Class for My Creative Classroom! :) 

Happy Thursday my friends. 

~Fun With Stamps! *Avocado Arts*~

Good morning my deliciously awesome crafty friends, 

I am here today to share my second Avocado Arts project today! :) 

This is a card using the fun July 2012 Bold Celebrations Stamp set

and a SNEAK peek of the August 2012 set. FUN stuff.

 Now the jar stamp is not from either set it is the Sweet Treat Sweetie set

from a previous month but I lOVE IT anyways. 

 The dragonfly and trail are from the August set and the rest is all stamped with

the Bold Celebrations. I never thought I would have so much fun stamping!

I used the July 2012 Nostalgic Summer Scraptastic Kit for the papers and embellishments. 

Now the ENTIRE Pit Crew has their own projects, go check em out!

I have not worked with nicer more talented ladies, you will love them as much as I do.

~Guest DT Video Tutorial~

Good morning my friends,

I am always crafting something and this week is no different.

This month I made a guest design spot for Frosted Designs

and this acrylic pin is what I made.

I used Clear Scraps acrylic & Stazon Ink, along with the

Imaginisce Badge/pin Combo.

I had fun and love how it turned out.

That Fuschia Pink Stazon is the best purchase I have

made in a long time!!!

Hope you enjoy!

I am off to photograph a special Christmas project

I just made with my Cricut Imagine....wish me luck!
