Charlie in the Bahamas Part II

Got to play with a product called Mudd Puddles this weekend, so decided to try a scrapbook page with Charlie's Bahama pictures.  They're fun beach glass type embellishments that come in jars mixed with an adhesive.  You just spread it on like frosting.  I decided to add a little more "bling" to it and added a little Sparkle N Sprinkle Waterscape glitter to the mix....now it appears like the sun is shining off the glass on the beach.  Before adding the Mudd Puddles, I used a sea sponge and sponged on a little Versamark randomly to my beach and embossed it with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Hit the Beach embossing powder.  To add a little "shimmer" to the water part of the page, I brushed on Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue and used both Waterscape and Waterfall glitters.  The Bahamas "tag" was made using a Super Adhesive Sheet layered onto cardstock - run thru my Grand Caliber using the Spellbinder's Fancy Tags III die - peeled off the top protective layer and added Champagne glitter.

 Here's a close-up of the Mudd Puddles Breeze Beach Glass & the "water" with Waterscape & Waterfall glitters added.

Here you can see the die cut with the Champagne glitter and the Hit the Beach embossing powder on the beach with the Flip Flops Beach Glass added to the Beach.

You must leave a comment on each and every blog to be eligible for the prizes. Three of the designers have a prize attached to their blog! Don't miss out.....

With so many options, I really had a hard time deciding what to do for this hop. I finally settled on Becca from Set 413 - Daddy's Princess. To continue with the "spring" theme, I then decided on the Swirl Umbrella, the Raindrops and Hope is... from Set 425 - Spring Swirl. What's more fun than a child playing in the rain in the spring and picking flowers. I used my Copics to color and Sparkle N Sprinkle glitters to highlight. The umbrella and greeting were embossed with Madagascar Green embossing powder. Lace, flowers & pearls added to the "bling".

Wine - Wine - Wine

At long last the two new wine sets designed by Rosalind Solomon for Sparkle N Sprinkle are available!   To go with them are 24 brand new embossing powder colors!   12 are Shades of Tuscany - beautiful, rich matte finish colors and to complement them are 12 Stars of Tuscany in the same beautiful shades - but glammed up with glitter.

Stamp Set 449 - Wine Tableau is a full-sized set and Stamp Set 450S - Chianti is a smaller Stampette.  Both are gorgeous!

Here's a sample from the Chianti Set using two of the new Tuscan embossing powders:  Moss Star EP430 & Mulberry Star EP427

I colored this using my Copic Markers and highighted using various Sparkle N Sprinkle glitters.  The background was randomly stamped using Versamark and the embossing powders and the grape leaves.  I used the Tear-ific tape to created a border on my border in the center and embossed it with the Moss Star Ep.  Add in my Spellbinder dies, my Grand Caliber, Dimensionals and "fussy cut" wine glass and grape leaves and voila!  

Hope you like these sets as well as I do.

 The new embossing powder colors are Fab-U-Lous!!!

Since Christmas is fast approaching, I thought I'd start off my merry little blog with 3 of my favorite "Hat Lady" Christmas cards using the fabulous images from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The first card showcases Sparkle N Sprinkle's  Lara - colored with Copic Markers and highlighted using

The Spellbinder's 2010 Heirloom Ornament Die - topped off with a bow and a bit of bling!

Next up is Maryanne who can be found on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Stamp Set 164

 - again using Copic Markers to color the image

 - Spellbinder dies using the Out of the Box Nesties technique and a bit of

bling added using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Silver Leaf Glitter Tinsel

Lastly is Sparkle N Sprinkle's Isabelle -  colored with Copic Markers -

layered using Spellbinder Dies - metallic bling - rhinestones

and the fabulous fur stole is created with soft fuzzy Swanky Gray flocking from

the Sparkle N Sprinkle collection.



I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed creating them.
