TTOSTV~Liquid Pearls

This week we got to play with something I did not have, Liquid Pearls...

so I substituted glitter glue in it's place...

I could not get to a craft store to get the Liquid Pearls, but they do look like

loads of fun to play with...

Well with that said...

Here is what I did for Liquid Pearls Tutorial...

I stamped the image by MFPaHc, Spring flowers, with Memento Tuxedo Black then used my

Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color the image...

then I added the pink glitter glue to the flower peddles, green to the leaves and

yellow for the middle of the flowers... (looks green in the photo, but its yellow)

So what can you do with Liquid Pearls? 

This week you will have the chance to win this marvelous stamp set

by Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich co...

If you come play with us over at Tutorial Time on Speedy TV...Wild Horses

Be sure to check out the different stamp sets available at the online store

Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co and the other things they have...

oh and be sure to check out all the other design team members

blogs, they have some really nice inspiring projects using

liquid pearls or like stuff...

We all love the blog love, so be sure to let them know what you think

This is my inspiration piece for you to get kick started on this week challenge

Anything goes...with Chalk

I colored my Bugaboo digi image with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

all but the wings...then came back with powdered chalk and added that to 

the body and wings...I like how it colored the image just that little bit...

it softened the alcohol markers some how...I will have to try this a bit more,

cuz I like the out come...added a sentiment from Stamp'n up ...

added some ribbon and inked the edges of the printed digi papers...

not sure if it's Echo Park or Lori Whitlock or a combination there of...oops

sorry guys for not remembering where I got the digi paper from...

but it is really cute...

I hope I have inspired you to link your chalk project to

I would love to see your hard work using chalk...

Happy Chalk'n everyone...

Friends of Speedy TV Challenge...

and boy was this a challenge for me...

Make a scrapbook page...

you know a few years back that is all I did...make scrapbooks...but since I found my cutter

I have been into 3D paper crafts and now card making...

so to try my hand at a scrapbook page was really pretty hard...

I was never one to use stamps on a scrapbook page so that too was kind of hard...

well I thought and thought about it and I came up with this...

bad picture I know...but it's hard going from a A2 card to a 12 x 12 layout...

but I managed...

I used the Autumn Splendor stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co

I can see maybe a fall photo at a pumpkin patch or corn maze on this layout...

now I have to set the stage for a photo to add to this page...heehee

Now it's your turn to make a Scrapbook page and enter it to the 

Friends of Speedy TV Challenge 46

Happy Veteran's Day

Thank you to all the men and women that keep my country safe...

my God always bless you as much as you have blessed me... 

MyGrafico Monday... Neighbor Style

Good Monday to you...

today I choose the 

Holiday Labels by Lilly Bimble

to create this darling, if I may say so myself...

Neighbors' Christmas Gift...

I found somewhere on the world wide web, this darling saying

"We're not trying to be 'corny', we just want you to have a Merry Christmas"

added some candy canes and some twine to this .49 cent corn bread mix...

these labels made it so easy to put this together, quick too...

I used my Cameo's print and cut function to cut the label out too...

Now what will you make for your neighbors?
