We had our Quarterly Team Meeting today!  Because of the holiday, it was a small group.  We had sooo much fun just being together!  Here are a couple of cards…I'll be sharing more in the next few days.

Enjoy!

This was my demo card – I love the Designer Paper Packs – LOTS of options!!!!

The card below was done by Sandy Silberquit.  Look at the eggs…they're PAINT CHIPS!!!!  Can you STAND it!!!!  Too stinkin' cute! 😀

OMG!  BEST idea EVER!!!!  I had a Team Meeting today and Fran Trischetta was in my Stamp Room where my Score Tool was out on the counter. She suggested that I put it in my drawer and when I need to score a card, I can just turn around, pull out the drawer and SCORE!!!  A "Score Drawer!"  I LOVE IT!!!!!  And…it frees up counter space!  Yay!!!!!  Check it out:

I did this Video last month when we were able to pre-order this adorable purse die from Stampin' Up!

The purse is done using what I call "Faux Acrylic Distress."

Enjoy!

I love that quote!  It's so positive!  And I've begun to love Mondays too! LOL  -  So, here my card for today:

The base card is Pool Party run through the Big Shot using the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder.  The funky polka dot paper and wavy lines DSP are both from the Specialty Sweet Shop Collection.  The Wisteria Wonder card stock peeking out of the DSP is edged using the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  For the circles, I finally broke out the Circle Cutter and Glass Mat – sooooooo easy!!!! The butterflies are an embosslit called Beautiful Wings and I couldn't resist painting a tiny bit of Smooch Pearlized Top Coat on the edge of the top one.  Then, finished off with Basic Pearls.  

Enjoy!

Okay..so I saw this painted and HAD TO HAVE IT!!!!  It was plain wood and I filed it and painted, painted, painted it.  I'm really not crafty so it took a CRAZY amount of time and effort but I got more and more obsessed as I worked. LOL!

I hung it over the craft table that I made.  I need to stop the madness and get back to my real job – filming my online classes for StampAcademy.com!

I hope you like it! 😀

I sanded the edges to soften them a little.  Then, I primed it and spay painted it.  Painted the candles and painted the wood "crystals" in a silver glitter paint.

Then, I found pearl bracelets in the dollar bin at a store and cut them apart and re-strung them and draped them around the chandelier.  The crystals are hung with beading thread.

I sprayed the whole thing with Smooch Spritz and hung it from the drop ceiling using wire.  I hid the wire with one of the fabric scrunchy "thingies" that I had in my drawer forEVER!

Don't look at the messy craft room – just the faux chandelier! LOL!
