Hey everyone, I'm here with a project for Discount Paper Crafts Etsy store. I altered these paper mache letters, and let me tell you I had so much fun! Lots of fun techniques and metal! This will be picture heavy Lol, also will be doing a couple tuts on certain parts of this. Hope you all like it, and at the bottom of the post i will have product description with links back to Cathie's store. Hugs!

 I  used hot glue and tons of shimmerz products to create the background of the "L"
I used metal foil tape on the "O" and stamped a gorgeous lady image on acetate for the center of the O. 
 The "V" is totally inspired by Finnabair! obviously Lol!





 On the "E" i used hot glue to create the pattern i wanted then covered it with metal foil tape. I will be doing a tutorial on this!

Lots of Prima= Metal Treasures Clock, Metal Treasures Clock Hands, Romance Novel Wooden Buttons, Coventry Flowers, Angel Wings Resins , Velvet Trinkets, Prima Dominoes.

Grunge Book Stack - Iamroses

Hey lovely ladies! Here today to share a special project, that I had created for my honey on Christmas! Of course i had to go grunge for his gift, but that girly part of me had to add some Iamroses goodness Lol. I don't think i went to craaaaazy with the IAR though. This is super interactive so this will be very photo heavy to show the deets! As always you can get all the flowers and leaves at Iamroses and at the bottom of the post will be product description with a link back to the store. Hugs!

Shimmerz Venetian Mask

Hey everyone, I'm back with another project for Shimmerz Education Design Team. I've so enjoyed being a guest designer for them! Shimmerz is amazing! So before i rattle on, who wants some free paint/spray? All you gotta do is this..... at your next checkout at the Shimmerz Store HERE mention my name (Miranda) or just my blog and then tell Stacey the name of the spray/paint/blingz/shimmerz whatever your little heart desires and its yours! So easy huh? Stacey is so generous! So go ahead and go get some, ESPECIALLY if you havne't tried it before! you are missing out! So anyways, i created this mask, and its a mini class on the Shimmerz Youtube Channel. So follow along as i create :)
