Fall Votive Candle Tutorial

All you will need are a few supplies....
WonderFilm, Sticky Tape, Glitter Glitz, Goat Hair brush, and a glass votive

... to turn an ordinary votive into some thing dazzling!

A Girl Just Can't Have Too Many Shoes!

Look at these glittery shoes I made using PK Glitz glitter, EP Lite embossing powder, and Powder Keg Embossing powder! Wouldn't you just love to have a pair?

I'm not quite sure where I would wear them if I did have a pair, but they would be fun to have!

Here is a close up of the button on the shoe. I used a large brad from Bazzil and embossed it with Cinnabun Embossing Powder then went over it with New England Autumn EP Lite to give it a bit of sparkle.

I am going to add some sweet treats inside the shoe and give these for gifts this holiday season.

If you would like to make a pair for yourself, you can find the template here:

If you enjoy working with digital designs, I have two really cute kits from Cherpea Designs to share with you today. The first is a very fun and whimsical alpha a number set and the second is a collection of very nicely textures papers. (Pictures are linked to the store)

Here is a page I created using these two kits. But first, a little background about the photograph. Last week Justin spent four days at the barnyard zoo (you can see more about that on our farm blog). The majority of the young people there were using their phones for text messaging and Justin (being the non-techy boy that he is) didn't really "get" what they were doing. Anyway, after some discussion, he decided that he might like to join the "texting" crowd. We started him off with 200 messages per month and within the first 20 minutes, he had already used up 10 messages. We could easily see how this was going to add up so the next day Mickey got the whole family unlimited texting! He is such a sweet guy!
