Sadly, This is my last card for Paper Sweeties. I've decided to step down from Paper Sweeties' Challenge Team. Between my sons' baseball practices, swim meets and my classes, I don't have much time for crafting as I'd like to. I'm so blessed to be in such a group of wonderful and talented ladies.

Mini Photo Album Page

Hello,

For a while, I really wanted to get into Project Life, but always feel intimidating. Just recently, I've started a planner, just to track school and Cub Scout activities for my kids and add few pictures here and there.

Stamp: Henna
Die: Die'sire Just the Ticket
Sparkle Pens: Solar Red, Emerald Green, and Moonlight

Thanks so much for viewing. Have a great day!

Time to Party

Hello friends,

Today, I'm sharing a card made with a new product line by Crafter's Companion: Sparkle Pens. Oh my goodness, these pens are AWESOME! These glitter pens come in 18 colors and clear.

I found that the lighter colors blend better than the darker ones. I used the lighter ones to do shading on my mugs. My pictures do not do these pens justice. The shimmering is much more visible in person.

Here are the materials I used on this card:

Stamps: Tea Time Treats, and Party Time.
Sparkle Pens: Cosmo, Harvest Moon, Solar Red, Aquamarine, Moonstone, Olive Jade, Holly Leaf, Rose Quartz, and Pink Champagne.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!
