Bracelets, Bling and Sparkles oh my !!

I was so excited with this bracelet - it is actually all made of cardstock. I liquid glassed 3 layers together and then embossed a 4th layer which i then inked and added to the top - it was dried wrapped around a tomato soup can :O) 

 I added White daisy pigment ink to the bird to soften the color.

The bracelet below has ribbon braided around it .

 This Halloween themed bracelet does too. Lots of liquid glass floods the bracelet to hold the purple stars in place. There is Glitter cardstock behind the pumpkin embellishment.

 And just to prove that i could.... I used purple shimmer rim to braid this bracelet and then added sparkles around the edge of the glass.

Hope you like them :O)    Love Sara xxx

More Base and Bling fabulosity from CTMH Extravaganza 2014

Did I tell you how much I love the Base and Bling line from Close To My Heart??
It doesn't have to be used just as jewelry - here are a few more ideas . . . .

 The left hand item above is a phone charm and a key ring on the right.......

 My puppy was all a fashionista in this cute dog collar.........

and this was my luggage tags - using the Seaside Paper which I rolled and made paper beads.

Hope you get some inspiration and make some cute items too - Love Sara xxxx

9x9 Memory showcase Album

 This 9x9 Album I made using Robyn's photos from her Senior Prom. I used liquid glass and prisma glitter on the peacock's feathers. Organdy colonial white ribbon - and green/blue sparkles added more bling

 I used a top coat over the main photo and more ribbon and sparkles. I added clear embossing powder mixed with prisma glitter to the stickease in the center of the flower

 More liquid glass and prisma glitter really highlighted the feather on the right hand page.

I was so pleased with the way this turned out - hope you like it too :O)

Malta album - Extravaganza Artwork

 This is the album which I made using parts of 3 albums. the front cover is from the new Mix & Mingle album and the rest of it is a combination of the Acrylix and Allsorts albums.I still have pages from both left over. Enough to make another :O) I used the Perfect Day paper and matching Stickease and LOTS of sparkles and liquid glass.

 I covered the dimensional element circle with the paper and added liquid glass to the dots on the paper. I dry embossed the horizontal lines into the cocoa cardstock and then sanded them.

 The right hand page features and opening section. It is kept closed with the ribbon.

 I love making the pages interactive. this way I was able to add more photos to the page.

This - I think - is my favorite piece of artwork created for my Extravaganza class at convention. I hope you like it as much as I do :O)  Would love to hear your comments on it :O)

Hair today - Gone Tomorrow.3x3 Mini Album. Extravaganza Artwork

Here is a 3x3 My Creations mini album which I made with photos of Leo. He decided that he needed a new look as he was going into High School. I used the new Magnifique level 2 paper packet & matching stickease. I added the paper to the Dimensional Element solo 'H' and tied the chocolate dot ribbon around it. I also added the Glitz glitter gel to the stickease in the bottom right hand corner. I wanted to show how you can add 'bling' to projects for boys without making them 'girly'.

The inside cover is the Bamboo cardstock which I suede distressed with the Desert Sand ink pad. Again I added the glitter gel to the stickease and further embellished it with one of the Opaques Pearls from the Liquorice pack. I then added 3 pearls to the bottom of this page.

  More pearls and then the stamped tag and stickease on the right hand page. The tag is from the new      C1422 - Unity.

 On the left hand page I stamped the dots and then went over them with liquid glass to add shine. I layered the 2 ribbons on the right hand page.

I used one of the My Creations A-door-ables on the page below, I covered it with the B&T then added a tag from C1422 Unity and a shimmer brad as an accent to hold the ribbon handle in place.

 A piece of Pacifica cardstock on the inside of the door covered the ribbon and the back of the brad.

 I used an arrow from Z1019 Fresh Shapes dimensional element on the right hand page and added ribbon and pearls to decorate it.

 Again - liquid glass on the dots and pearls on the photo.

 I used a photo as my B&T on the left hand page and added my journalling over the top. Ribbon accents the journaling piece.

 Ribbon is tied over the B&T but under the journaling square to add some shimmer and interest.

 And the final page - my 'cool dude' complete with faux hawk haristyle, shades and a smile.

The inside back cover is the same distressed cardstock as the front and a stickease and pearl finish it off :O)
Hope you like it :O)

Halloween My creations cube - Extravaganza Artwork

Here is another cube - this time with a Halloween theme. I heat embossed the spider web with a mixture of clear embossing powder mixed with prisma glitter and then the spiders in silver embossing powder with prisma glitter. I used the pale purple sparkles for their eyes. And liquid glass on the small bats to make them shiny.

I used Stazon black ink for the spider web in the background as I went over the whole thing with liquid glass. And the same for the bat. I used the pale grey Opaques pearls to cover the wholes in this acrylic page - yes it is one of the pages from the Mix n Mingle album. It is secured in one corner with a shimmer brad -  because. .

. . . . . it spins up out of the way to reveal another photo underneath.

Again I used the silver embossing powder mixed with the prisma glitter and then added the purple and green sparkles.

Black pearls, purple sparkles and gathered black stitched ribbon decorate this side - again the web was stamped in Stazon and liquid glassed over the top.

Oh a little fuzzy but I hope you can see.
Well there it is - a Halloween cube with fun hidden areas, lots of BLING and sparkle.
Hope you like it :O)

Coughton Court - Mix N Mingle mini album - Extravaganza artwork

I have to say just how much I love these little books - a great combination of acrylic and chipboard pages make it so much fun :O) I used the Passages level 2 paper pack with these pictures - taken when I went back to the UK in May with my dear friend Victoria. I used one of the Marks epoxy clips in the center of the flower - I just used scissors (an old pair) to cut off the metal 'clip' and just used the decorative piece. A Opaque pearl in the shades of brown added some shimmer to the label from C1422 - Unity and a photo corner from the spring blossom collection added interest to the photo (and hid the construction sign !)

I used a rub-on in the corners of these 2 photos and again a Opaque pearl in the center of the flower.

I used a close up photo of the grey leaved plant as my 'paper' on the left hand page and then added a more distant shot of the same flower bed for the main photo. I added a pearl to each of the ribbon 'tabs. On the right hand page I used another rub on and used the pearls to accent the swirls. I used a corner rounder to make the scalloped edge to the photo.

Remember on an acrylic page - what ever you do on one side - you have to do the same on the other side otherwise it will show through. So again the corner rounder was used for the scalloped edge of the photo mat and more pearls. On the right hand page I used the green embroidery floss to stitch the zig-zag pattern on the cardstock and another Marks epoxy clip to accent the page.

Here I used the new Shimmer brads to accent these pages - one on a cardstock circle and the other as a center of a flower. Here Victoria and I were right at the top of the tower! Again the tags were from C1422 - Unity.

Pearls top and bottom add a shimmer to the left hand page which shows a photo of one of the stained glass windows, and I used embroidery floss again to stitch the photo of the right hand page. 3 pearls of 2 sizes decorated the bottom corner of the photograph.

Another marks epoxy clip with the metal clip part cut off forms the center of the flower and I know it is difficult to see but there is a tiny pearl in the center of this. Glitter rub ons for the words directly onto the photo and my favorite stamp set - Just the Ticket adds more embellishment. Coco and Colonial White ribbon decorated the whole album.
If you remember I also used another of these chipboard pages on my Zippedee decorated box and tomorrow I will show you what I did with the last page.
Hope you like this :O)
