How cool are these pins? I got this inspiration from a very neat site-RED LEAD. On their site you can grab these pins-you simply attach your favorite charms and VOILA you have a one-of-a-kind creation! I had fun creating some of my own charms using combos of other charms. How much fun would it be [...]

I made this beauty almost a year ago and never shared it on my blog (at least I don’t “think” I did). My wonderful friend, Eileen, taught this pendant technique at a Winter Getaway/Retreat that I went on with my artsy friends. These are some metal pieces from Tim Holtz’s Ideology line. We pushed each [...]

How much fun are these pins? They are a great way to use the fabulous charms that you have in your collection! I got the idea from a great website RED LEAD where they carry all of kinds of vintage crafty supplies. The pins came with 5 little rings where you can easily attach your [...]

Did you LOVE those pins from yesterday? Here are more done with heart-shaped chipboard! Yes, now I KNOW you are longing for the HOW-TO Video-it’s on my to do list and will be shared here shortly.  Tweet

My FABulously creative friend taught me this great technique to create faux mosaics. She taught us how to make the mosaics out of chipboard and scraps of paper and turn them into wonderful pins. (Some of you requested a video tutorial on this which is coming, I promise!) I love bird images and couldn’t wait [...]

I am addicted to making handmade jewelry. Ok, now that we have THAT out of the way… Recently, my friend, Jennifer Bonet (JennyB as we all call her) taught a class at The Mecca on making our own wire wrapped rings. I have done this class with her a few times already but LOVE it [...]

Do you LOVE charms? Is it hard to part with little snippets of those pieces of paper that you LOVE? I made this necklace with my friend, Eileen Bellomo, and finally got a chance to finish it over my Spring Break. We used fragments from Tim Holtz and added bits of patterned paper to the [...]

Forever ago, I made this pin with one of my favorite peeps, Eileen Bellomo. We made the flower out of metal and added a bottlecap in the center. (I know there is a video out there on how to make this flower-maybe Eileen will post it in the comments-hint, hint.) I tend to collect charms-I [...]

I am so excited about these necklaces that I want to give some away! Leave a comment on this BLOG POST (not on Facebook but directly on my blog) for a chance to win one of my Shrinky Dink Necklaces. Everyone that leaves a comment has a chance to win! I will select 2 winners [...]

I just couldn’t get enough of the Shrinky Dinks so this time I used the negative space from the Top Notes that I cut out. I shrunk one down after stamping it (for more information on that check out my post from Friday). ***Don’t forget to punch your holes in the plastic BEFORE you shrink [...]
