Candy Anyone??!!!

Hi guys! Here's my little monster ready to give you a treat.....If you dare take one, that is! (lol) My little boy complained, that all the Halloween projects I've made so far have been for girls!!! So I had to "man it up" a little, and make something that he would approve of.

This is my "Tasty Tuesday" project for my Pink Paislee blog post today. I also used Shimmerz paints to add a little sparkle to the chipboard letters, the bolts and the bat punch-out. You can see the full post here.

Here are a couple close-ups.

See you soon,

Think Pink!

Hi everyone! I tell ya my mind is slipping BIG time!!! I thought I had posted this already - But I guess not!!! (lol)

Have A Monsterrific Day!

October is finally here! I don't know about you, but I'm definitely ready for some cooler weather. It's been so hot here in Florida.

Maybe it's because Halloween's almost here, but I seem to have monsters on the brain lately. I made this card using a mixture of Pink Paislee papers, chipboard and other bits and pieces. It's not really intended to be a Halloween card, but I think it could be used as one, since there is a monster involved!!! :) You can see more details on how I used the Shimmerz paints here. Speaking of monsters my kids picked out my next Pink Paislee blog project, for this month. Stay tuned and I'll be sharing that soon. :)


Supplies used:
Pink Paislee - Patterned paper, glitter alphas, cardstock letters chipboard borders and chipboard shapes

Shimmerz Paints - Shimmerz Spritz (Licorice) and Shimmerz (Wed Wagon)

When my order of Shimmerz Spritz paints came last month. I loved them so much I took a picture of them.......... They just looked so yummy!!! It was kind of like getting a brand new box of crayons! Remember that feeling? :)

Anyways, when I got the invite to stay on as a design team member, I couldn't resist!!! The Shimmerz girlz are so sweet and I love working with the paints. So from now on, my projects will be a combination of Shimmerz and Pink Paislee.

Pink Paislee Shimmerz!!!

Hi Guys!!! Today I can finally share a new Pink Paislee project, that features some of the new Fall colors by Shimmerz. The Twilight and Amber Road lines that I used on this piece, work beautifully with the new vintage colors Shimmerz has released.

Owl Love U.....

Hello again! Today I have a mini album to share with you. I still need to add a few more pages, but I really wanted to show you the altered cover. I jazzed up this half circle album a by adding various other chipboard shapes to create an owl.
ANOTHER OWL!!!.... (I hear you screaming) I know, I can't help myself! My name is Jennifer and I 'm an OWL-A-HOLIC!!! :)

As you can see, I used one of my favorite new Pink Paislee lines, Cupid to create this. I also had a lot of fun with the Shimmerz paints too. The above close up shows how I used some Blingz on some of the blue feathers. I also used Shimmerz Spritz on the eyes, wings and eyebrows.

The shimmery effect is a little hard to see in my picture above, so here is a close up of one of the eyes after I sprayed it with the Bamboo Leaf and Truffle spritz.

After I inked the eyebrows with brown liquid chalk, I sprayed them with the Bamboo Leaf spritz. I love the mottled effect that the spritz produced, a perfect texture for the owl.

Here are some of the pages I have done so far.










Supplies used:
Pink Paislee - Patterned paper, Brads, Border Stickers, Patches, Punchouts, Glitter Alphabets and Letter stickers from the Cupid line.
