21st Century Pillow Book

Greetings! It's the 1st Monday of the month, so I have a new Muse Monday set from Bombshell Stamps that I am going to share. This month, I decided to go with Hawaiian Girl . I decided to use some of the smaller images to make a tag. I started off with stamping and embossing the images. Then I went and played around with some Distress Inks and my Scales  stencil from Dreamweaver Stencils . After that, I decided to experiment. I pulled out my Translucent Embossing Paste , and applied it right on top of the entire tag using a palette knife. I texturized the heck out of it, so that it would look like water. After it dried (it starts off milky white), it looks like this! Just the effect I wanted. This Translucent Paste is fun! And so is the Hawaiian Girl set from Bombshell. It's on sale this month, so if you don't have it yet, go on and grab it! Please be sure to visit the Bombshell Blog each Monday for lots of fun projects featuring this set. Thanks for stopping b...

Happy Friday! I have 2 project to share with you today. The first is for Dilly Beans . For this 2 week challenge, you need to add a metal charm. The other is for Bombshell Stamps . Ms. February asked us to "Bring the Heat," which, being that it is literally 18 degrees out right now, I would really enjoy. Here's my Dilly Beans project. As you can tell from the tropical feel of this card, I am really freaking cold. I cannot wait for the warm weather! I used image #571- Brooke for my card. I love her flower. My "Aloha" is fro the Bombshell set, Hawaiian Girl . Now, on to Bombshell! This card also used the Hawaiian Girl set. That's where the trees came from. The lounging lady came from the Rise and Shine set. I would really like to be where she is right now. My background is done entirely with  torn paper. It was a lot of fun, and my daughter got a kick out of seeing me create the scene. I hope you liked my projects! And I really hope that ...

Greetings! At Bombshell Stamps, we like to enjoy the sillier side of things from time to time. Which is why we started celebrating wacky holidays. I get all of my info from Holiday Insights . And boy, do they have a lot of information when it come to out of the ordinary celebrations. This month, e are celebrating Sunscreen Protection Day. Because really, those bombshells need to keep their skin looking beautiful! Here's what I learned about the day. Sunscreen Protection Day is always celebrated on May 27th, but since we have Muse Monday tomorrow, we decided to get the festivities underway a day early. The day is said to bring awareness about how important it is to protect you and your loved one's skin from the harmful rays of the sun. This is even important on cloudy days. So always use SPF 15 or more, people! I used several Bombshell Stamps sets for this card. I used Hula Girl , and new to me,  Hawaiian Girl  and Tiki Party . Please take note of the fact that my g...
