Tips and Tricks Tuesday

Ok, the those adorable pendant banners everyone loves have made their wayonto everything in every shape and form. However, sometimes you want all that great cuteness however not all the work... not that they take a ton of work..but you know what I mean.

I'd recommend doing what I did on this layout. The pendant banners were actually printed on the paper. I took a craft knife and cut along them.. then took some scrap dots behind each piece to make it pop... then added a bit of tied twine. Makes them look pretty homemade!

Good News

I have some ubber good news to share within everyone hopefully by the end of the week!!! Soo excited to share!

In the meantime lets keep those crafting tables full of projects!!! Here is an album I am working on. The cover is acrylic! Kidnapped this idea off of the Hambly blog. Love it! Worked on the cover last week for my own challenge! I love how it's coming along. I plan on still adding some bits and pieces to cover and of course filling those pages.. but wanted to give a little peek of it thus far.

I loved using a transparency on the cover and then coloring in random bricks with some paint!
