Well, I'm down at the Reflections event this weekend...such a fun time of girlfriends & crafting. :)

Besides socializing, eating fabulous food & taking classes I'm doing a make & take for Tattered Angles using (the new) Glimmer Glaze, Glimmer Mist, and Prima flowers & bling. Fun!!

I'll tell you all about it when I get back!

Did you know you can emboss metal with a Cuttlebug Die-Cutting and Embossing Machine?  It works great with the really thin metal, but also slightly thicker types like the ones from Vintaj.

I made these earrings by running the Vintaj metal circles through my Cuttlebug and then dressing them up with some beautiful green beads.  I love green!!

If you'd like the instructions on how to make these earrings, stop by the Mixology Crafts blog today to download my free tutorial sheet...or just pop on over there & tell me you like them.  :)

Happy Tuesday!

Here's a scrapbook page I made that features some cute flowers I made with the new Tattered Angels Crepe Ribbons, and my Imaginisce I-Top Tool.  If you'd like to learn how to make these flowers hop on over to the Tattered Angels Educator's blog or my classes at Curious.com to see my video tutorial on how to do it.

I also use one of the new frame Glimmer Screens, Tattered Textures Clear Stamps, and some Glimmer Glam to make the page. It's so fun to play with new product!!

Yesterday we celebrated my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary!  So special!!  Here's the card I made them using the new "To Love & Cherish" line from Imaginisce.  {Perfect timing to celebrate an anniversary the same time a wedding line is released LOL.}  We had a really nice family dinner to celebrate.

Wow, I feel like I've been so busy lately!  I have barely had time to be online at all...which isn't necessarily a bad thing except I miss keeping up with everyone.

Since today's Tuesday, here's the link to my Mixology Crafts post...it's a great idea for an easy, quick, & fairly cheap gift!  Don't forget to download the tutorial.  :)

Another great gift idea is this memo board on When Creativity Knocks...I made a similar one for my Mom awhile ago.
