{ New Shimmerz Pearlz }
The new Pearlz are here!!!! Here is a little card I created using Ballet Slipper and Morning Mist Shimmerz Pearlz. I painted the chipboard butterfly with white paint. After it was dry I painted it with Ballet Slipper Shimmerz Pearlz. For the polka dots, I used a toothpick to "drop" Morning Mist Shimmerz Pearlz onto the butterfly. The flower is made out of tissue paper that was painted with Ballet Slipper Shimmerz Pearlz using a sponge. If you would like to make these flowers check out my tissue flower tutorial. I used My Scrapbook Nook January Kit paper and chipboard butterfly, and Elle's Studio new XOXO Bazzill Cardstock and XOXO Journaling Tags.
Have you seen this???? New VIBEZ coming out in one week!

{ Inspire Me 2010 - week 2, My Scrapbook Nook, Robot Party }
Don't forget the Design Team Call - you have until January 30.
I used December Sky Shimmerz Blingz and Sea Foam Shimmerz Spritz for the chipboard butterfly.
Alex's Robot party was a success. I had issues with the cake frosting, but it turned out OK. We made the robot and the idea came from here. Betty Crocker Robot Cake.
Birthday boy!

{ Inspire Me 2010 }
How fun are these little cards! I sprayed the background with a light coat of Vintage Hymn Shimmerz Spritz. Then, I applied white branch rub-on. I sprayed over that with Ruby Shimmerz Spritz and stamped polka dots with December Sky Blingz. Pink Paislee cherub stamp, Chick note stamp from Elle's Studio, paper clip and bakers twine from Making Memories and One Bright Spot flower. A while back I found these ATC cards at Michaels, dollar bin, and bought several packages. Didn't know what I was going to do with them at the time, but how perfect are they now! I am so excited. Week 2 is posted, I better get started on that. I wanted to share Alex's birthday party invitation that I made. The little robot stamp is from Michaels. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils and gemsol. Other stamps used: Hampton Art, Sassafras Lass and Impression Obsession. Can you guess what the theme is? One of my favorite projects is published in CardMaker January 2010 issue. It's a tin with a set of four cards using Basic Grey stamps and Pink Paislee patterned paper. Two full pages, 18 &19. If you ever want to check out my publications, I have updated photos here. >My Scrapbook Nook blog hop and giveaway is still going on in the post below, make sure and leave a comment for a chance to win.
