White Cloud Kachina Dancer

Today is a Super Exciting Sunday for me!

I get to share some pretty exciting news for me!

I am super honored to announce that starting today,

I am a Lacy Sunshine Sunshine Girl!

I will be on the Lacy Sunshine Design Team.

I'm still in shock, and just can't believe it!!

WOOHOO!!!

 

With Thanksgiving coming up, what better to get ready for it than Indians.

 

For my first project for Lacy Sunshine, I got the privilege of using this great stamp called White Cloud Kachina Dancer.

White Cloud Kachina Dancers were said to represent the

 clouds and bring moisture the crops.

 

I decided to make a gift set for my project.

A greeting card and a candle.

 

 

I kept the card simple to keep the focus on the image.

I thought white and blue would be the perfect colors for my

White Cloud Kachina Dancer.

I added a pretty blue feather, and a concho looking brad.

 

 

The candle was super easy to make.

1.  Print out your image on copy paper

2. Cut out and tape tissue paper over top of the first printed image.

3.  Print the image out again.

4.  Color the tissue paper image with your markers.

5.  Cut around the tissue papered image.

6.  Apply the colored tissue papered image to your candle with a heating tool.

Gradually heat the tissue papered image until the tissue paper disappears into the candle.  Be careful not to heat too long in one area, or the candle will melt.

Just gradually cover the entire area, and repeat as necessary.

 

See? Super easy, right??

 

Hope you will check out the other Lacy Sunshine Creative Design Team members projects because they are fabulous!!

I am very excited to share a new All Dressed Up release today.

I used it today for a birthday tag for one of my God-daughter's.

Curiosity Cabinet

Happy Tuesday!

It's been a little bit since I've posted anything,

but I couldn't wait to share this one.

 

I found a little black wooden cabinet at Goodwill, and thought it would be perfect to store some of my supplies in.  I store some of my little brads and charms in antique little crystal salt & pepper shakers.

And these fit perfectly on the shelves in the cabinet.

 

 

I have absolutely fallen in love with this Graphic 45 Rare Oddities papers.

The colors and patterns are just gorgeous.

I just love the magical look of potion bottles!

I used 2 Tim Holtz mini potion bottle dies to add to my top shelf.

I added 2 Simply Betty stamps, Wolfie Ariel and Mary Potions.

For a little spookier effect, I added some gauze at the top for my spider web, with a cute little silver spider charm hanging down.

This has become one of my most favorite projects.

Flower Fairy

Happy Weekend!!

I am sooooo very glad that it is Saturday!

 

I want to share this cute little Flower Fairy stamp from All Dressed Up.

She is just adorable!!

 

 

I used an oval die for the frame and some green glittered DCWV paper.

I added a few flowers and some gathered netting at the bottom

with a sweet little yellow bow.

You can't really see it, but I added some pretty white glitter to the fairy wings.

 

There are some absolutely AMAZING projects made by fellow

All Dressed Up team members that will just make you drool.

I hope that you will stop by the All Dressed Up blog to check them out.

Trust me, it's worth it.
