 I believe when you add bling to any thing, it just puts a smiles on your face!!! I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I admit that is got me down so I went with it and made my situation sparkle!!! Above and below are pics of my Diabetic kit, I tool the BYOB by Want2Scrap and designed by Donna Salazar and created a beautiful pattern on the front of my case. Hanging on the zipper is a fancy crystal. The Bows are held on using Glue Arts Gluedles which added just enough adhesive to secure the bow onto the case!!! 

Okay I could not stop there!!! I had to bring the BYOB (Build Your Own Bling) to the inside. If we can bling out or cell phones, why not the Blood sugar monitor and lance thing!! I know there are technical names for these little gadgets but hey it works, lol.

I know using bling in this way is not your NORM, but it shows us that we can sparkle many aspects of our lives to make them a little brighter!! At least that is what I believe!!!

 Be sure to visit all the links in this hop and see what the other crafter have been up too!!!

To be eligible for the prizes leave a comment on the Want2Scrap AND the Glue Arts Blogs.

Workshop Highlights

The Workshop has come to a close, but not without excitement of course. It was a fantastic 3 days of crafting and working with fabulous products from Canvas Corp made it all the better. The first night we altered and decorated our canvas Mini Albums using various pieces of this and that we all have collected from past projects. It was fun pulling out pieces of laces, flowers, screens and more. We even worked with some vintage items and a blue jean pocket taken from an old pair of jeans. Metal embellishments added perfect touches to the album as well as a mini wood frame and fabulous papers from Canvas Corp called the "Home French Collection". At the end of the class on the first night, we gave away 3 fabulous gifts. Two were from a fabulous crafter Sandi James which is a consultant for 31. She hosted a giveaway of 2 gift certificates. The third gift was from Lola Fields and I. She pulled together some authentic vintage finds while I add some fabulous flowers.

The Second Night we began decorating our two 10x10 canvases. Adding tons of ribbons that we used in the album and then creating a hinge like closure using ribbon. The canvases were made in a way to hold our newly decorated mini albums. Perfect ideas with a perfect fit!!We gave away that night a fabulous mini utility bag hosted by Sandi James. Very cute and a perfect bag to carry to any crop or crafting event.

Finally the third night we decorated the top of our box. Using again various items from our stashes. Adding flowers and pearls. They were all cascaded on the top of the box creating a beautiful cluster. The grand prize was given away to one lucky viewer. The winner received a fabulous $50 gift of various products sponsored by Canvas Corp. It was amazing and I envy the winner!! Congrats Susie!!!

All in all, it was a wonderful workshop for it being my first online teaching of this type of class. I enjoyed the conversation, the creativity, the project idea itself and more. I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to Canvas Corp or sponsoring this workshop, to Sandi James for sponsoring her wonderful gifts from 31, to Want2scrap for having the best bling out there, to Prima Marketing Inc for having the best flowers and for YOU my students for believing in my design ideas and learning!! I appreciate each and everyone!!!

Cute Dress Form Project with Tutorial!!

I got in my Want 2 Scrap Goodies and wanted to play!!! So I grab my May Arts Ribbon and glue gun and went to creating!!! Here is what I did........

 Using the fabulous Dress form from Want 2 Scrap and ribbons from May Arts, I created this lovely dress for, to set at the base of my lamp in my scrap room.

 I first began with the dress form from Want 2 scrap. I used a black sharpie and painted the base. I think took my Mix'd Media Inx from Donna Salazar and stamped a floral image all over the dress form.

 Using Laces and the fabulous Faux Suede Leaves Ribbon from May Arts, I began creating the dress!! I first began by creating a skirt by gathering the lace. Then I applied it to the dress form a little lower that where the waist is indicated.

 I then took the Faux leaves and created a apron like skirt along the waist!! I used 6 leaves creating a layer effect. I then folded the edges of two leaves and created a very low cut bodice. LOL, if you want it to stay low cut you can!!! But I added some more lace.

 I added lace to the bodice behind the leaves to bring lace to the top.

 I added some ribbon around the waist and a flower. Then I pulled out the Want 2 Scrap Pearls.

 I cut the pearl swirls down to a smaller size. I then added them between the layers of the petals.

I then added to the base of my lamp I have in my scraproom!! 

This was such a wonderful fun and easy project to make!! See the first photo for more details!! So follow the links, order you a dress form or two and make you own cute design!!!

Here are some past projects I have created Using Ribbons from May Art Designs
