Shabby Accents Blog Hop Feb. 27th -28th

Welcome to the Shabby Accents Blog Hop!

If you have arrived here from Melissa's Blog you are on the right track.

 If not, please start HERE

The shabby chic style has been around for many many years, originating from Great Britain, where time worn items were showcased in most country homes. Today’s essence of shabby chic is to achieve that time worn layered vintage look from yesteryear by painting, distressing, dying or tea staining. Now we bring it to you right from our craft tables.

Please follow along as the following crafters showcase their handmade Shabby Chic Accents. Be sure to visit each blog, as each artist will be having a giveaway. Also, we have a couple of awesome sponsors who have generously donated for a “Grand Prize Giveaway”. Their shops are full of shabby goodness. To qualify, all you have to do is leave a comment on each blog.

Beauty Layout

Just finished a layout for my very dear old friend of her daughter. I ended up in emergency

last night trying to finish it lol! Well it wasn't too funny ha! I totally stabbed my thumb and sliced it pretty deep trying to use my cutter bee sharp scissors to poke a hole in my adhesive tip. Not a good idea everyone!!! I am pretty happy with the way this turned out...her daughter is absolutely adorable! I was so excited to do this layout. I used papers from K and Company's Life's Tapestry paper pad (available in my store), prima say it in crystals and the Martha Stewart large butterfly punch (also available in my store). I made the brown flock flourish myself and tomorrow I will post a tutorial on how to do your own flourishes! Happy creating!
