Merry Christmas**Creative Inspirations**

Alright, time to share another project in which I used my Creative Inspirations Shimmer Paints.

I have been needing to make a few christmas cards, therefore I did just that. =)

For this card, I used the Bo Bunny "Noel" collection along with some of the new gorgeous Petaloo flowers!! They're are soooo pretty! As you can see, I kept the card pretty simple.

Now here's the paint, the wowness of this...Look at that sparkle! Just love this stuff!

Ok, that's all for now..=) Need to get some stuff done around the house.

Can't believe its almost christmas!! CRAZINESS!

**IOD**--Precious Miracle

Ok so this is exciting for me! My very first design team layout for IOD. I received their box full of such pretty goodies! I was like a little kid opening a present...."ooooh....ahhh" lol.

I found this picture of Nikki when she was only 2 days old and I knew I would use the oh so cute "Lullaby Girl" collection for this one.

I decided to use some of the patterned paper to make the flowers.=) Using my all time fave flower punch..the Retro Flower.

If you want to recreate this flower, here is the tutorial for it. Super easy!

Here's a closeup on the beautiful cardstock stickers thatgo with this collection.

I also used a few of my Creative Inspirations Shimmer paints, to paint the flowers I cut out from one of the sheet. I used Green Olive on the leaves, Sunshine for the center and lastly Rose Quartz for the petals, super shimmery and pretty!!

Well hope you enjoy this one! If you haven't bought this line yet, I suggest you do!!! I loved it!!

*Creative Inspirations*--Halloween Tag

So I know Halloween is over and all, but I wanted to show you a quick tag I made,. And of course....I used some of my Creative Inspirations paints on it=)

I accented the pumpkin with Mango. The "fright night" is a stamp, which instead of using ink o stamp, I simply painted my stamp with Onyx paint and stamped it.=) I also painted my little skeleton guy with Onyx, you can catch some of the shimmer in the top right corner.

Well I hope you all had a wonderful safe Halloween.
Catch ya next time. =)

*Creative Inspirations*--Shine

Hey ladies. Here I am blogging on a work night lol, it is waaaay past my bedtime and I sure am feeling it.

So real quick...here's a DT layout I made in which I used one of my Creative Inspirations Shimmer paints.

Shine

My kid is getting too big, she just turned 7 on the 14th :p


The two pieces I altered with my CI paints(frame and bird) are from a dear friends, Lidia's newly opened Etsy. They are pieces made of Polymer clay and absolutely gorgeous! If you have not visited her little shoip yet, be sure to, you will surely find something you will like.=)
I painted them using Winter Frost, a beautiful white pearl shimmer.

Have I mentioned I LOVE these paints~!

I am working on a cute Halloween Door Tag...I shall share soon! :p

Alright that's it. Short and sweet=)

Goodnight

*Creative Inspirations*--From the Heart Card

So first off, I am NOT a card maker by ANY means. I sat down and made the card below and am sooo loving it!!

The papers are from My Mind's Eye "Bella Bella" line. I also played with some of my Creative Inspirations Shimmer paints for this one. Love those little pots of paints!


For the sentiment, I painted the entire piece of cardstock with Carmel shimmer paint, then stamped the sentiment. Love the shimmer on this!

I also used the same color to accent the swirls and tulips on the patterned paper.


Well that's it! Off to bed I go!
I shall have more to share tomorrow=)

Goodnight.
