Lingerie Shower

I was doing some "clean-up" on my blog this evening and found this post still in my drafts folder!  It's from the end of May!  I remember the pictures were posting crazy and I got fed up with it.  I didn't realize I never fixed it and didn't post it.  I just posted it "as is", so I apologize for the lack of organization.

I hosted a small lingerie shower for my son's fiance on Saturday. It was only 16 people, but we had a great time. Only 5 days until the wedding. I am SO ready for life to get back to normal!!!! :0)

Vinyl Chargers

I totally scraplifted these from a couple of people from Smart Buy Gal Forum. (Thank you ladies!!) If you haven't seen this new message board, go check it out!!!  It is awesome and we can post ANY crafts we want made with ANY products.  The chargers are from Walmart, and I used black vinyl.  I really love these, and plan on making more as gifts.

Candy Box & Card

I finally made a box!!!!  It has been forever, and most of you know I have a "thing" for boxes!  I used my new GLITTER gel pens to decorate this set.  I absolutely LOVE them.  I cannot believe how much sparkle is packed into a single line of ink.  I was pretty skeptical about how much they would actually "glitter".  Was I ever surprised.  I tried to capture the sparkle in the close up of the card, but it doesn't do it justice.

The pens are available at Chomas Creations.

Box file was purchased from My Time Made Easy

Halloween Card

Here is another project using the gel pens with my cricut.  First I "drew" the images with my cricut and the black gel pen.  I colored the letters with colored pencils, then blended the stroke lines with oderless mineral spirits.  I used stickles on the spiderweb and letters.  I cut the spider image out of black paper, used a pop dot to place it over the drawn image, and covered it with glossy accents.  If you are not familiar with the gel pens you can find information and ideas at Chomas Creations
