Gone but not Forgotten

Hi everyone!  I know the Christmas holiday has passed, but before we go too far, I wanted to share with you a quick project Ainsley and I did using a few fun products from the YMH store.

A few weeks ago, I saw Tracy from Helmar glitter the inside of a glass ball using the Hemar V2 Vellum Spray and thought I would give it a try.   I had a few clear glass balls lying around, and Ainsley wanted to make a special gift for her cousin.  I sprayed the inside of the glass ball with the adhesive (the ball gets cold, be careful) making sure to get good coverage.  Then I dumped in some glitter.  Handing the ball over, she swirled the glitter around inside until we had good coverage.  After dumping out the excess glitter, we got to the fun part....decorating.

A few Prima flourishes, a couple of flowers and my trusty Scrap Dots and we had a beautiful ornament.  My youngest was so proud to show off her handiwork.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Ruby Wednesday

Hi everyone!  Hope you here in the US are enjoying the day before Thanksgiving!  I know I am.

I recently received from Your Memories Here some gorgeous, fun products from the new Prima line, Ruby Violet.   You know, when the package arrived I couldn't wait to dive right in!

 There are so many gorgeous flowers.  So fun, so funky.

The necklace kits can be assembled in any way you choose, but for those who are new to making jewelry, there are photos of finished projects you can just copy.

One of my favorite things tho is that you don't need jump rings, pliers and other jewelry making tools.

I used just a bit of Helmar's Scrap Dots to hold everything together.  But I would imagine the Gemstone glue would work just as well or better.

I had so much fun making these pieces that I think I may pick up a few more kits for my nieces for Christmas.  They are only $8.00 in the Your Memories Here store, but this weekend there is a Black Friday sale and everything is 30% off with the code TURKEY.

Happy Wednesday.

Hugs.

Dress Up

Good morning bloggers!  Hope everyone is having a great day.  I am here with a quick and simple project for all the girls in your life.  With the holidays rapidly approaching I was thinking my girls could use some dressy headbands.  We had a few of the thin, small,  plastic headbands lying around the house that no one wears so I went to work.  All I needed was my trusty glue, a bit of ribbon (not quite a yard), and a gorgeous flower.

I began by placing a small dollop of Helmar 450 on the inside edge of the headband, then began to wrap the ribbon around the headband, securing with more glue at the top and then again at the end.

 I added a gorgeous Prima flower in a coordinating color with more of my glue.

Finally I added a quick little blow underneath the flower. 

So quick and easy, and Ainsley just loves it!  I can see her wearing it with the black dress she selected for Christmas.  I think I will make one for my sweet little niece as well.  Maybe in pink?  or maybe a whole collection using these?

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.
