<span style="font-size: large;">I colored her with copic markers. The snow is white alcohol ink and liquid pearls. I don't know if you can tell but I put the white alcohol ink on a paint brush and "flicked" it.

<span style="font-size: large;">This card was made with glossy paper and alcohol inks. We simply</span> <span style="font-size: large;">dropped ink on the card and then blew the ink in different directions with a straw.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> On this card we sprayed 70% isopropyl alcohol on the glossy card stock</span>, <span style="font-size: large;">then we added our drops of ink and let the ink swirl around.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The bronzer arrived broken :( so I have asked them to send me another.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Sea RX" is a facial and body lotion that fights the signs of aging. I used it last night on my face and it smells great and didn't burn me so I like it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Whish" shaving cream. I stuck this in my toiletry bag for when I travel because I didn't have shave cream in there. Smells like grapefruit...nummy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Aloxxi" Hair serum. Makes hair thicker and frizz free. Smells great but I haven't used it yet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Agelesss" perfume. I LOVE it. It's light (Again smells like grapefruit) and I can wear it to work without nauseating my patients! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have seen ads for this nail polish in alot of magazines lately, so when I found these mini bottles at Costco I just had to buy them! It was $9.99 and the colors are beautiful! This is a horrible picture but there are 3 pinks, a lavender, a dark red, a gray a darker purple, and a cream color.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jenna Hipp is "manicurist to the stars" and her polish is "green". It doesn't have chemicals that alot of polishes have. I am loving it! So far I have worn my polish (the light purple) for 4 days without a chip. And the brushes are very nice. You should buy this! </span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-llf7BoJQGfM/U-IK4UdynfI/AAAAAAAABsw/TE82wVIJ-S4/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-llf7BoJQGfM/U-IK4UdynfI/AAAAAAAABsw/TE82wVIJ-S4/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.17.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have never made a wreath before and I just love how this turned out. My inspiration was from http://www.madeintheshadeblog.com/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I followed her directions and watch some you tube videos and finally figured out how to do this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You will need</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Burlap ribbon, a wire wreath frame, hot glue gun, scissors and floral wire or pipe cleaners.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iYjBAaEa6_E/U-ILYyF175I/AAAAAAAABs4/nQnNbzU7h9A/s1600/2014-08-05+19.13.01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iYjBAaEa6_E/U-ILYyF175I/AAAAAAAABs4/nQnNbzU7h9A/s1600/2014-08-05+19.13.01.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the ribbon I used. It is from Michaels and it is 4 inches by 21 feet. I used 2 of these. (Alot of people use 6 inch wide, which would give you a bigger ruffle.)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39QyR0CR37c/U-IMCFr6s8I/AAAAAAAABtA/pcCz9oIH_t4/s1600/2014-08-05+19.15.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39QyR0CR37c/U-IMCFr6s8I/AAAAAAAABtA/pcCz9oIH_t4/s1600/2014-08-05+19.15.17.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oNrG3uR-xtQ/U-IMF7Gp-YI/AAAAAAAABtk/eZGlFUF9Z4g/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tie the ribbon onto the frame..(I suggest you tie it on at the vertical wire...that would make more sense)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then you just tuck through (from the back) into all three slots on the wreath. Make them as big and fluffy as you want.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zdSNDkIBqQ4/U-IMCzGQRuI/AAAAAAAABtI/0ArwxV9WCGw/s1600/2014-08-05+19.15.58.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zdSNDkIBqQ4/U-IMCzGQRuI/AAAAAAAABtI/0ArwxV9WCGw/s1600/2014-08-05+19.15.58.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now here's the important part...slide the 3 bundles to the left and hold them tight to cover all the green wire and to make them "flouncy". Then, turn over your wreath and run a line of hot glue to keep it together.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FPjKE8Vu7p0/U-IMC_CXQTI/AAAAAAAABtM/7Ji3GaanWQU/s1600/2014-08-05+19.27.47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FPjKE8Vu7p0/U-IMC_CXQTI/AAAAAAAABtM/7Ji3GaanWQU/s1600/2014-08-05+19.27.47.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then just keep going. Tuck all three, slide and bunch, then glue...tuck, slide glue...tuck, slide, glue .....til you are done. Then tie off the burlap in a hidden place when you are done.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3KzbgQIkaZg/U-IMFor2WDI/AAAAAAAABtg/2yFknWnDzAM/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3KzbgQIkaZg/U-IMFor2WDI/AAAAAAAABtg/2yFknWnDzAM/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.23.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have never made a wreath bow and there are tons of videos on you tube about it. This one made the most sense to me:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Burlap bow tutorial by Kelli Wright" on you tube.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I just ran some floral wire through the back of then bow and twisted it on to the wire frame.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oNrG3uR-xtQ/U-IMF7Gp-YI/AAAAAAAABtk/eZGlFUF9Z4g/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oNrG3uR-xtQ/U-IMF7Gp-YI/AAAAAAAABtk/eZGlFUF9Z4g/s1600/2014-08-05+20.09.27.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Helpful hints:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1) The ribbon I bought from Michaels has a finished edge and I like that because it wasn't messy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2) The green frame shows a little bit. When you hang it, you can adjust the ribbon to cover it, but I king of wish I would have spray painted it brown first.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3) It takes alot of ribbon. Use your coupons!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4) use wired ribbon for the bow. It is "forgiving" and you can make the bow look perfect!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for looking. Leave comments below and ask questions if you need to. I hope I made this easy to understand! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously disappointed with this product! The polish is $9.99, then you have to buy the "no light" top coat for $9.99. I had a $7 coupon to CVS so I thought I would try it out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It goes on nice and thick and the directions say to put 2 coats on and then the top coat. The manicure should last 2 weeks. I was very hopeful because it seemed so nice going on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well...It didn't even last a week! The 1st 3 days I saw some wear on the tips, then I had a chip...now it is just wearing off completely. After just 5 days!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Save your money girls! I give this product an "F"! </span>Sharon Holmeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03813800274182907498noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031010915263490520.post-43566833732034652952014-08-03T07:25:00.002-07:002014-08-03T07:27:36.996-07:00Using up my "skylark" paper<span style="font-size: large;">The new Close to my heart catalog is out!

Have you ever shopped at Bloomingdales? <span style="font-size: large;">So I'm pretty stoked right now. I have a beautiful friend from high school and she always looks so great. She spends half the year In Indiana and the other half in Miami. I asked her where she gets her clothes and she said "Bloomingdales". I was like...oh. We don't have one here and I know it's expensive but she told me to go online because they have great sales and bonus points and all that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well I did and they are having a sale (ends tonight if you're interested) and man Did I score! They have thousands of items for 40-60% off.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose "womens items under $50" and there were like 2,000 things to look at!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I found a coupon online and got an extra 20% off.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a sample of what I got:<br />A Ralph Lauren sweater...Reg. $130...bought for $25</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I did this for my daughter's room this week. Her wall are light purple and we wanted a dark purple chevron in between.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew I wanted the chevrons 8.5 inches wide/apart from each other so I simply cut a 8.5 inch square out of card board for my template. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then working from ceiling to floor and marked it off and taped it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I put tape scraps on the chevrons that would not get painted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then we painted 2 coats of the dark purple and this is how it turned out!</span><br />
