SBS Tumblin’ Buddy Blog Hop!

Hi!  Today you should have arrived here from Tina’s blog.  If not, you may want to go back to the beginning at the Simply Betty Blog to start this fabulous hop! 

So, here a little while back a bunch of us from the SBS Facebook group did a tumbler swap.  We bought a tumbler and then we filled it with crafty goodies, candy, or whatever else we felt like, and then we sent it to our assigned swap partner.  It was a lot of fun!  I was partnered up with the super awesome Christina!  And she sent me the most amazing stuff!  Wanna see?

This is the whole lot, and then I’ll show you some close ups…

Wonder Woman was my hero when I was a little girl.  I wanted to be her.  So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I saw my tumbler!

Check out all these awesome goodies!

Here’s a close up of the tiny brads.  They are so cute!

And she knew that I’m a huge Doctor Who fan, so she included these, too!  Don’t Blink.

And here is the gorgeous card she included in the box…

July Bombshell Blog Hop!

Hello!  Today you should have hopped here from the abundantly awesome Alison’s blog.  If not, you can go back to the beginning at the Bombshell Blog to start this super cool hop!  Our theme this month was “Iconic”.  What’s that mean?  Well, Alison instructed us to focus on our fabulous little Bombshell stamps.  You know, the tiny shapes and “icons” that come with the stamp sets.Smile

Well, I used a bunch of those little stamps!  I used stamps from Retro Cowgirls, Butterfly Queen, Bombshell Angel, Homeward Bound, Hula Girl, Vintage Raceway, and Lotus Garden.  That’s a lot of Bombshell Stamps!

So, what did I make?  I decorated a little round box…

100_6947

I stamped the images on to tissue paper…

Then I colored them, or colored around them…

100_6943

Then I Mod Podged them on to the box I had painted…

100_6944

But wait!  There’s more!  I got overly ambitious and decided to play along with Ms. July’s Challenge to make a piece of jewelry with one of my stamps, so I made this…

July Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop

Hello!  Our theme for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop this month is Bring the Heat!

Here’s what I came up with…

100_6934

100_6935

I had a lot of fun coloring this image from Smeared Ink.  Then I had even more fun playing with fire to get the edges burnt and smoky.  The piece of fabric along the side has been burnt as well.

And even though they’re not part of my project, here are some burnt fabric flowers my friend and I made.  They’re super easy to make, plus we like any excuse to play with fire.:)
