Chunky Charms & Winner

Good morning everyone,

Today I wanted to share a video with you about the charms I received from a recent chunky charm swap at Mini Album Scraps and the winner of last weekend's blog hop.

I found this new swapping site and it is so awesome! They have all different kinds of swaps from journals, mini albums, pin cushions and so much more. It is awesome! Well I just got my very 1st swap there back and I am so excited. I make chunky charms- can you believe it?? Me either. I have never made these before and it was so much fun. I had to watch tons of youtube videos to figure out how to do it LOL!!!!

Well here are the charms I made for the swap and below is a video of the charms that were sent to me. The theme was Summer.

So tell me what you think.

Here is a video of the Charms I received in return.

Ok now on to the winner of the Home Decor Blog Hop drum roll please.........

Today I wanted to share with you this Dream banner I made.

I tried something different with this banner. I bought some Jewelry wire and put the banner together with that.

I started by wrapping a 5 inch piece of wire around a pencil to give it some curl, I did this for every piece that is hooked together. I used paper from Me & My Big Ideas. The stack doesn't have a name on it. But I just love the paper.

I also used Storybook for the letters, butterflies, and scrolly thing. I added glitter to every cut to make it stand out a little more. The letters are cut in DCWV glitter cardstock.

Here are some close ups of each piece of the banner.

I drilled holes in the chipboard for the wire- ok my hubby drilled the holes, but I was supervising the whole time. LOL!
I then laced the wire through the holes and make little knots on the back sides of the chipboard and wire.

Thanks for stopping & looking at my Home Decor project. I am giving away some blog candy too, woohoo! I will be giving away the New Limited Edition Tim Holtz Spring Ink Set or the Spring Re-inker set, your choice.

Birthday Wishes Card

Hi Everyone!

I know it has been awhile since my last post but Holy Cow this has been a very busy Summer for me. I am in the middle of trying to get my webstore up and running, studying for my CPA exam and I caught a nasty cold along the way too.

I did want to share with you a card I made for my friends special birthday  and remind you about a Home Decor blog hop this is happening here this weekend and I hope you all can come and visit me. Plus, I am giving away some yummy blog candy!

Ok on to the card I made.

I just love the Create A Critter cartridge, it is probably one of my favorites! I don't know the brand of the paper I used I think it was DCWV but now sure, it was some scraps I had laying around my desk.
I hope to see you this weekend!
