For a project that I’m currently working on, I needed some push pins or thumb tacks. Problem is, I wanted them to have a little creative flair to them. Insert Liquid Glass, Reinkers and Prisma Glitter! I started out by purchasing some plain old thumb tacks. Then using a left over foam … Read more Thursday Tip–Glitzing up Metals
Did you know that December is Write a Friend Month? Who knew, right?! Well, I thought this was a pretty cool thing. How fun is it to get a card in the mail these days? And not for your birthday, Christmas, Valentines, etc. A just because card. Feels pretty darn good, huh!? So why … Read more Write a Friend Month
After the nice, long holiday weekend, it sure is tough to get back into the groove! Luckily, since I had a little extra time this weekend, I was able to partake in Project Tuesday’s 6-Pack Container challenge.

Once again I’ve combined the Color Me Monday combination with Project Tuesday’s challenge to come up with this fun Genie Bag. I’ve never tried these before, but must admit, I really like how easily they come together! It’s basically just 2 card fronts sandwiching a cut down lunch bag/craft paper bag. What could … Read more I Dream of Genie Bags
On Tuesday, I was asked a great question…how can I use Waxy Flax?
