Add Sparkle @ Melonheadz Friends

For the next two weeks at

http://melonheadzfriends.blogspot.ca/

we want to see you glam it up! Yeppers, it's all about the bling and the glitter, we want to see projects with that added sparkle!

This is what I did.....


I did the herringbone background again and used up the last scraps of my most favouritest paper pad ever.  And, in my effort to make the last itsy-bitsy pieces I had left work, I kinda messed up with the application of the strips, but I've chosen to think it works anyways.

And, as always, the sparkle doesn't jump of the page in the photo.  Well, not only do I have some Stickles on the pail there, I have 18 blings on there.  (Yes, I know "gems" is the word I should be using but I've always preferred saying bling to gems.  Gems always makes me think of actual gemstones......and I don't think I'm getting them for $2 a package at my LSS.)

I used a past freebie but if you want to see all the fantabulous Melonheadz images for sale just clicky on over to the Etsy shop.

So, why not pile on all that glitters and enter the challenge? And be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has made.

  10. This is beautiful! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hoards the scraps from their favorite pad (I will keep THE tiniest scraps -- knowing full well that I will probably NEVER use them) Thanks for giving me the excuse (I mean sensible reason) for keeping them. So glad you shared this card with us over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 blog.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
