Bling ON the baby!



Well, why NOT?


Bling isn't just for lovely cards and beautiful layouts of brides, bridges and butterflies...



Bling even works... FOR BOYS! Like MINE!



I love, love, LOVE the way NestablingTM makes word art and titles JUMP off the page!

It's SO easy, when you combine fabulous SpellbindersTM dies that, perfectly,
match our GLORIOUS NestablingTM shapes. Check out how this die,
from Labels One, frames my word art.
It's such a hoot to cut this shape, breathlessly PERFECT,
with just a light tack of some tape,
to secure it where I want it, prior to cutting....



And then, oh THEN: just LOOK!



Soooooooo simple and FUN to position my NestablingTM,
right {!}, EXACTLY, where I want it!



But WAIT! There's MORE! Here's how I line up the EASY-TO-STICK
baby bling, to draw even MORE attention to my darling boy! My trusty
grid ruler makes it a breeze to bling up my chipboard {and GLITTERED}
up letters.... {Subtle enough for ya? hee hee}


Don't these letters have a "glowing CHANDELIER" kind of goodness!
I shudder to think, they were recently NAKED chipboard!


But, hey, speaking of naked... Let's review my layout "pre-bling"....



And NOW, fully festooned!



And with sneaky HIDDEN elements!



And JOURNALING! {I love a Scrapbook layout that you can get LOST in!}



Beautiful BLING makes all of that possible!



I sure hope YOU think so, too! Here's hoping my blinged out BOY layout has you
inspired to get scrappin' AND blingin'! They go together LIKE pees & carrots!!!

Yipeeee! Thanks for letting me SHARE the love of bling, with YOU!

Super Simple Altered Clothes Pin

This little gift is super simple and makes an adorable gift...you know it is perfect for teachers! I love to give the teachers a little something to say thank you and this just may be it this year.

All you need for this is...
  • Altered Clothes Pin
  • Spray Ink
  • Bling and Pearls
  • Ribbon
  • Journaling Spots

A simple way to stain the clothes pin is to spray it with ink, spread it with a sponge brush and allow it to dry. It looks great and is so simple. For the flower I simply layered journaling spots over one another...love this! I added the Nestabling™ Heart Circles in Brown Rhinestones. I love the bit of sparkle that adds! I also used the White Pearls - 72 Count.



For the stem I glue down pieces of ribbon with Beacon™ 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue. This is a new adhesive to me and I love how thick this is...it also dries quickly which is a great bonus. I added Green Pearls - 72 Count as an accent...the perfect touch I think!



Here is the final product!
