The other day I came across a cute template for a snowglobe card I had previously printed out (sorry I can’t recall who or where I found it at since it’s been at least a few months). It was so easy to create and makes for a really cute and unique card! I used CTMH’s December Word … Read more A Non-Traditional Snowglobe
Truly there was a LOT of glitter all over my work area when I completed this card! Here’s my take on Tresa’s Glitter ‘n Tape Technique….

So apparently this is an original creative … Read more Gobble, Gobble Time!
A quick project (altered composition notebook) I made up this weekend for a friend. She’s been thinking a lot about changing her career path. I told her she needs to start keeping her thoughts, ideas and any pertinent info in a notebook to help her dream become a reality. There’s something about writing things down … Read more Dreams Can Come True

If you haven’t seen Martha Stewart’s Glow-in-the-Dark Glitter–it’s so COOL! I picked up some a few weeks back with the idea of having my kids help me decorate those craft pumpkins rather than carving a pumpkin–thought it would be less messy (yeah, right…two 3-year-olds and glitter! I’m totally off my rocker!) But that does lead … Read more Glitter Pumpkins

So in honor of my sad addiction, I thought I’d share a … Read more Punch Animals

Then using Liquid Glass (or similar) apply a small dab on the head of … Read more Glitter Brads
