It has been another great year for me, and I am happy to report......I still love to create.<br />
<br />
We just came back from another successful show at CHA and I was so excited to meet so many people that I only knew online.....but nothing beats seeing my old scrapbook buddies, what a blast.<br />
<br />
There are so many new items I want to share that I got to play with and I will share with a series of new posts starting today.<br />
<br />
Today I sharing Everyday Vintage Chalk ATC. I love the simplicity of the cards and love how it makes my white pen stand out, but lets talk about the fabulous Crystals that Prima introduced. I am litterly in love with these and have to order at least 3 of each and hoard them ♥<br />

It has been a very long time since I have been able to get away for a girls weekend. Let alone a weekend filled with lots of scrapping, chatting, and fun. Sacramento was so beautiful and we stayed at Gina's gorgeous home in Elk Grove, CA for 4 days......thanks Gina for putting us up/ </div>

We spent one afternoon in beautiful Old Town Sacramento having lunch, stopped by a candy store, and took some amazing friendship photos. Gina's tripod was not working, how adorable was Suzy setting the timer on camera and literately jumping in just in time to capture our pictures.....man can she run, LOL. Above will see my favorite photo which I am currently looking to buy a frame. </div>

We spent 2 days at <a href="http://www.itsallaboutthescrapbook.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">It's All About The Scrapbook</a>. That store was so beautiful and had the most amazing selection I have seen in a long time. The owners were very friendly......this store is a must stop if you are ever in Dixon, CA</div>

For this mini book I used Prima Marketing <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/catalog/product/view/id/5539/s/engraver-collection-kit/category/486/" target="_blank">Engraver's Collection</a> and <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/catalog/product/view/id/5553/s/tag-pad/category/486/" target="_blank">Tag Pad</a>'s by Julie Nutting, and the tags measures 3.5" x 8.5" <br />
<br />
I loved the vintage distress look from the Engraver collection, and I think that the antique gold embellishments were perfect fit for it. My favorite was the crown, and metal roses. Even the pearl swirls gems are adorable, and I think that Prima hit it out of the park with this collection!<br />

One thing that I had always loved more than crafting is reading, writing and collecting poems. I created this mini album with a handful of my favorite cherished poems that touch my heart<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">. </span></span>I have so many saved, and I love reading them over and over again. Most of them were very deep, but reflected on what I was going during that time.<br />

I remember when I first layed eyes on the simplicity of Project Life. My first thought was, that I would be able to catch up on my scrapbooking (I am soooo behind) in less than a month! How amazing is that? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But my first Project Life page seemed so plain to me. It screamed......add some flowers, add some chipboard, add some stickers, add some of embellishments that you are hoarding.....Oh, and dont forget the bling.......LOL, I actually remember thinking of all this. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love that each collection that Prima created for summer CHA 2013, includes their version of 3x4 and 4x6 templates. We even has 2 full kits called Everyday Vintage. The paper collection I am showing you today is from <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/collections/by-collection-name/anna-marie" target="_blank">Anna Marie</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Pictured here you will see me with my adorable Godchild Lexi. You will find that I use a lot of pictures of Lexi because being a mother to 4 boys is very to create with any girly colors without hearing my boys say.......Mom, why did you use pink? LOL</div>

Aren't Zoey and Gracie adorable? They are the daughters of Marisol at Prima Marketing. On this page, I definetly used a lot of flowers, and some metal embellishments. </div>

I hoped you like my version? Although it is a little extra work, I find it easier to do in a snap! </div>

As it was being created by our amazing graphic department at Prima, all I could think of is that I could not wait to for the pre-production samples to in......I might be a wee bit biased, but I really think all other vendors has something unique and different.....so in my book, they were all winners.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I am eagerly awaiting for Prima's designers to make their lovely samples, they such amazing work.<br />
<br />
Lucky for me, everyonce in a while I get asked to work on a special project. Although I am no where near with how Prima's designers and educators can do. I embrace my style, which is simple and sweet with a little something something. To this day I am still trying to figure out what that something something is :)<br />
<br />
I was asked by my boss to create 3 items that were going to shown in the new product showcase area at CHA Las Vegas. I was so excited to see that I would be using The Optimist collection for it.<br />
<br />
Below you will find photos of the necklace, layout, and Keepsake box I made.<br />

Now I just wanted to touch base a little on my previous post. I feel the need to thank each and everyone one of you who had reached out to me. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of emails, texts, and Facebook messages I had received in support for me standing up for myself. It was very sad to hear that I was not alone in being bullied by JP.....I am still trying to comprehend why and how it could happen to so many of us?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although it was not my intention, and I would never believe this would happen.....I had over 5,000 views on my blog post. How crazy was that? Although I know she has seen my post and continue to "visit" my blog, I have still not received payment for my services, or return email from JP. Bottom line is that not only was my post seen by many....... I got my message out there very loud and very clear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lesson I learned here......I will never be bullied into silence again, and never allow myself to ever, ever, ever be a victim again! I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off me from sharing my story on my blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this industry, and I am and will continue to share my creations big and small......in hopes I can inspire someone out there in Scrappy Land. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by,</div>

The company just came out with their Summer 2013 collections.....and I have a lot of favorites that I "need" to have. <br />
<br />
Today's layput I am using the canvas sheet. It is the first time I have used canvas sheets, and I cannot wait to try playing with them again. I also used the diamond stencil with Gesso, and distressed it with Prima's Chalkers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those who known me for a while, know that I have been a huge fan of Cricut for a very long time. Recently I was challenged to try the Pazzles machine by my boss at <a href="http://www.primamarketinginc.com/" target="_blank">Prima Marketing.</a> I was asked to create a couple of items for their blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Pazzles Inspiration machine gives you the ability to design and cut custom
designs without the limitation of cartridges. I could not believe how easy it was to use. I even had some of the graphic designers in the office create digital images to see if we can cut them using the Pazzles and it worked! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still have my Cricut and use it often, but the freedom to cut my own design was so tempting to buy a Pazzles Inspiration Machine. I am thinking Cricut should join all the other personal die cutting machines and let use cut our own images......and still have the freedom to use our cartridges as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Here are the items I created using the Pazzles machine. The products used was Hello Pastel, Lady Bird, Julie Nutting Collections from Prima. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And last but not least, these tags were so cute, my favorite would be the Julie Nutting stamps. Her stamps are so cute. I cannot wait for the new doll stamps to come out at Summer CHA. <br />

Hello everyone, it's been a minute since I blogged and I have so much to show and tell.<br />
<br />
I have been creating silently and not really sharing much at all. I kinda went through an "non" sharing faze and I am finally able to come back and share a little of what I have been working on. <br />
<br />
Today I am sharing an exciting new line from Prima Marketing called Everyday Vinatge. The pocket sized memories kits makes it so easy to journal and capture everyday moments.<br />
<br />
This Vintage line was created by Iron Orchid Designs for Prima Marketing. You can read all about Josie and Sally by following the link > <span style="color: lime;"><a href="http://prima.typepad.com/prima/2013/06/come-meet-iod.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span><br />
<br />
I created this super easy page featuring my youngest son Diego. I do not think I have met a happier kid......ever! His smile just lights up my everyday. These pictures capture his adorable dimples, and the best part, his "signature" wave. He is always waving.....cracks me up every time! The person responsible for these amazing photos is my friend Tine Keyner, you can find her blog ----> <a href="http://www.tinakphotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> I loved all the embellishments I used.....Wood, Flair Buttons, Canvas Alphas, and much more. The best part of it was that it is being featured in Prima's catalog being released this Summer at CHA in Las Vegas.....so excited. <br />
<br />

This other page I worked on is from the Flora Kit collection featuring my husband Manuel and I. Gotta love this guy......he is my ROCK! I love that he is a huge supporter of my scrapbook hobby. <br />
<br />
I cannot wait to show all the other collections that Prima is releasing this summer at CHA. All collections will be including pocket sized papers, how awesome is that!. My busy life is going to be easier to scrapbook and share. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Now a little of what has been going on with me these past months.....I have been super busy working, and traveling, and learning as much as I can in the scrapbook industry. I have found that the favorite part of my job is researching product developing ideas for one of my major accounts. I loved learning the whole process of turning an idea into an product that my buyer's purchase for their retail chain stores.It is an amazing feeling. <br />
<br />
Last month I experienced for the first time going to China and Hong Kong with my boss Tami (Creative Director of Prima) to visit the International Marketing fairs. It was amazing to see the various vendors from around the world sharing their new products. We did a lot of networking, a lot definitely tons of walking.<br />
I think I this is the most walking I had ever did........but I thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way.<br />
<br />
. <br />
I will soon share more photos and details from my trip for a future blog post. So for now I will leave you with my favorite picture from Hong Kong. It was taken from our hotel room 28 floors up.<br />

Today's I am sharing this Spring Album I made. I signed up for a class taught by Prima's Educator <a href="http://www.hausofw.com/" target="_blank">Frank Garcia</a> I wanted to learn more about mixed media. Something I steered far away from because it seemed to complicated. Frank encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone.......and I am happy I did. But I did warn him that I was not a very good student......I usually veered the other way and always did my own thing, my way. <br />
<br />
I do not know why I never started using modeling paste, or gesso before. I have a feeling from now on these will be used on everyone of my projects....THANK YOU FRANK!<br />

I loved all the details on the cover. I used <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/stamping-stencils/stencils-masks/12x12-stencil-flourish" target="_blank">Prima's 12x12 flourish stencil</a>, modeling paste, and applying it with a mini scraper right on Prima's <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/photo-albums-mixed-media-album-album/resist-canvas-mixed-media-album-large-1" target="_blank">resist mixed media canvas album. </a>Using my heating tool, I made sure the paste was dry before I applied colored mist sprays.<br />

Here is Franks album. His work is amazing, and I highly recommend his classes. We all loved how very detailed he was, and must say how generous he was with all the product we all got. Every student went home extremely happy having signed up for his class. THANKS Frank for inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone. So glad that I did! <br />
<br />
You can find Frank teaching just about everywhere these days.......his classes are listed on his <a href="http://www.hausofw.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. Also check out his online <a href="http://issuu.com/thepaperhaus/docs/paperhaus_magazine_winter_issue_2ri" target="_blank">Paperhaus </a>magazine, Prima's blog, and dont forget their Ustream to see all his work. <br />

Hello peeps,<br />
<br />
Today I would like share a gift I made for my husbands cousin Perla who flew in from Mexico City, Mexico for her baby shower. I used the new Prima <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/collections/by-collection-name/lyric" target="_blank">Lyric Collection</a></span> and my favorite shabby chic treasures by <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/collections/by-designer/ingvild-bolme/shabby-chic-treasures/resin-collection-la-coeur" target="_blank">Ingvild Bolme</a></span>, and of course the fabulous flowers by<span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://www.primamarketinginc.com/" target="_blank">Prima. </a></span>Because I only had 2 days to make the gift I had no time to buy a Prima mini album so I used chipboard that always have on hand along with my ever handy and fab Bind It All tool from my friends over at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.binditall.com/Binditall.html" target="_blank">Zutter Innovative Products</a></span>. <br />
<br />
For years I have been making and creating albums to give as gifts to family members and friends. I would rather give a handmade gift because it shows that a lot of time and effort was put into it. <br />
<br />
This is Perla's first baby....a baby girl, and they decided to name her Navani Valentina. Perla has never scrapbooked before but told me that they have scrapbook stores in Mexico City, and had never tried it. She loved the book and cannot wait to fill it up with pictures of her baby when she is born. So I made she she had enough adhesive, stickers, and extra papers.......I think we have a new scrap sister ♥ mission accomplished! <br />

It has been a few months since I blogged, and I am back again sharing a few things that have kept me busy and away from my severely neglected blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few months ago I blogged about the great things happening in my life.........I was so excited that I was no longer unemployed. I got a full time job in the industry I am so passionate about....scrapbooking. I spent 1 1/2 year trying to find a job in the crafting industry with no
luck, and just when I was about to gave up after so many disappointments <a href="http://www.primamarketinginc.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Prima Marketing </span> </a>called me to come in for a interview.....I was hired!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been a Prima fan since 2004 and could not wait for my local scrapbook stores to get the new latest and greatest.....I always "had" to buy one of each. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCglk_X4AA_cY2pwbFiqpWOgOYQfw7cFZlFbmS41jvXJj1lqMYEnuufir37O-LNWDVlcgPvKWOOgpw8YOArZ5baUzkWlBK0xqw5zsnV3ldrBdkitZK77mSXhDmkqEVZGB2SxVDdgBHKjI/s1600/Michelle.Gutierrez.Monica.Perez.PrimaMarketing..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCglk_X4AA_cY2pwbFiqpWOgOYQfw7cFZlFbmS41jvXJj1lqMYEnuufir37O-LNWDVlcgPvKWOOgpw8YOArZ5baUzkWlBK0xqw5zsnV3ldrBdkitZK77mSXhDmkqEVZGB2SxVDdgBHKjI/s320/Michelle.Gutierrez.Monica.Perez.PrimaMarketing..jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Pictured here is my dear friend Monica and I about 6 months prior to Prima hiring me. We were excited that our local scrapbook store got a new Prima shipment in, and could not wait to buy it all.......this photo cracks me up because we were really this excited. <br />
<br />
At Prima Marketing, I work in the Design Dept as an Account Manager for a major chain store. I had the opportunity to travel to Thailand to meet with our buyers and show them the product our team developed for them. I love to be able to help come up with concepts and ideas to sell to our clients. I have learned so much working at Prima since last August, and still am amazed how things work in the industry.....I can truly definitely say that my perception in working in the crafting industry has changed tremendously. I have so much to learn.<br />
<br />
I also have had so many opportunities while working at Prima and cannot wait to share them with you. As I slowly get back to blogging I will share all my adventures with you, one at a time. <br />
<br />
I want to leave you today with a little trinket bracelet I made using Prima products. These adorable scrapbook<span style="color: magenta;"> <a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/catalog/product/view/id/5403/s/newsprint-mini-frames-lifetime/category/486/" target="_blank">mini frames</a></span> come in various finishes, and colors. I was trying to think outside of the box when playing with them. <br />

<br />
<br />
Fall has always been my favorite season. I love the vibrant rich colors of orange, reds, and yellows. I cannot wait for our weather here to change to cold crispy chilly mornings and rain. Lately here in Southern California we have seen nothing but hot, and humid days in the late 90's.....YUCK!<br />
<br />
I have been busy submitting all the stuff I have been working on lately and had nothing to post today because I cannot share until I know for sure that my stuff was not picked up. But today I plan on scrapbooking all day, and just for the fun if it. So maybe I can post something here on my blog real soon. <br />
<br />
I really would like to thank all my family and friends who congratulated me on all the great things happening in my life right now. I truly feel blessed and grateful for each and everyone of you. <br />
<br />
....... I will definitely be back soon.

Hi everybody, please do not mind the mess in front of me. But that is how I roll when I am creating. A complete utter mess, makes for pretty crafty creations......I am sure I am not a lone messy scrapper, yes I know a lot of you can relate!<br />
<br />
About three weeks ago I signed up for <a href="http://sherryscreations.typepad.com/sherrys-creations/" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">Sherry Mendoza's </a>birthday crop at The Prima Warehouse. I was so excited because it had been a while that I have been to a crop that I was able to create things for fun. I went alone anticipating to make new friends.......and was I blown away. Not Only did I make new friends, I reconnected with an old friend as well........O Happy Day!<br />

Pictured above is Sherry Mendoza (birthday girl) and Trish Figueroa. Sherry had us all laughing with her dancing antics, and her lovely accent.....LOVE IT! I was so surprised that I ran into Trish, she was my first scrapbooking boss. We had so much to catch up on, and chatted the night away. Things are good for her, look how happy she is. This photo captures the mood of the evening, we were all happy to be here.<br />

I spent Saturday and Sunday doing make n takes at <a href="http://www.scrap-n-yap.com/" target="_blank">Scrap N Yap</a> in Monrovia, CA. They were celebrating their 5th Anniversary with a crop. The house was full with many scrapbookers and lots of prizes. My favorite part was the dessert truck that pulled up for all croppers to enjoy a sweet treat. This was far the hardest decision I had to make all week.....A root beer float, sundae, or cookie sandwich.....Yummy!<br />

Hi Bloggers,<br />
<br />
It seems like forever since I have been on here and I feel so bad neglecting it. But I needed a mini brake from blogging and I am so enjoying time with my family right now. I have 4 boys, 1 in college, 1 senior, 1 freshman, and my little 6th grader. I have been reflecting lately on what is most important to me, and seeing how time is flying by so fast, and my babies are growing up before my eyes, I needed to make sure they know how very important they are to me in my world, and they do.<br />
<br />
I feel very fortunate how my husband, boys, and family support my scrapbook hobby, and all my high hopes to make it more than just that one day. Looking for a work in the Scrapbook industry has been so hard, and jobs are very hard to come by. But one day I hope be able to do just that, you just wait and see! <br />
<br />
Above you can see a sneak peak of my latest creation, a family mini album.....I love making them, cant get enough! Though I have not been blogging much, I must say that I sure have been creating.......So stay tuned, there is so much more that I want to show and share with you all. <br />
<br />

The easel
greeting card is not your traditional or typical greeting card. The
easel on the back of the card makes it sturdy for display on your desk,
counter top, and or shelf.<br />
<br />
<br />
You would
simply decorate the card as you would a regular card, and recipient can
easily fold at the mid-joint, enter the mid-joint into the tongue of the
easel to display.<br />
<br />
<br />
Using embossing powders, along with Piccolo enamel adhesive, and a heat gun I changed my chipboard heart to a golden color to add a special touch as you see on the card.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> Hi all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">today I wanted to share the mini album I made using the <a href="http://www.binditall.com/chipboardcovers.html" target="_blank">6"x6" Clip-Board Wood </a>cover, <a href="http://www.heidiswapp.com/shopping/" target="_blank">Heidi Swapp </a>, and <a href="http://www.binditall.com/Binditall.html" target="_blank">Bind It All V2.0</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">When I
first saw this Sugar Chic line from Heidi Swapp, I knew immediately that
it would be a perfect girlie album, especially with the fabulous photos I took with Alexis. The freedom to create an album
using this awesome line makes me so happy. Mini albums have been my
favorite thing to make and gift for many years now. Along with my Bind
It All V2 and 6"x6" clip-board I set off to do just that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">I love that I can be silly with Alexis, she makes me feel young again. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">When using
the clip-board and because of the thickness, you will need to apply a
whole lot of pressure to get the cut through. I had decided to center
the album in the middle for my Bind It All and cut only 6 holes for my
O-rings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> On the
inside of my mini album I used chipboard and cut it to 5 3/4x5 3/4 to
fit inside the 6x6 album. I loved all the embellishments that came with
the Heidi Swapp line and I was able to find these cute Zebra gemstone to
match it perfectly.</span><br />

I have to admit, what a difference your life makes when you surround yourself people who support you, teach you, push you to be all you can be, and more......I feel nothing but blessed right now, and oh so thankful. </div>

I have been blogging for over 4 years but not weekly as I had originally had hoped for. So, the beginning of this year I made a promise to myself to make sure I did just that, and I feel that alone has made a huge difference on where I am at today.</div>

About 3 months ago I opened a private email on Facebook from a sweet young lady asking me if I would like to be published in her on-line magazine as a featured designer. I was very shocked because I had also just recently been selected to be on 2 manufacture design teams. I used to think that I would never be chosen for any of these opportunities and to me I think the whole difference was being on top of your blog, and a lot of creating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
It's Monday and I have plenty of creative stuff on my plate this week. I am putting the final touches on my CHA designs for Globecrafts, and then it is off to ship them. You will absolutely love the new product debuting next month at the Craft and Hobby Association being held in Chicago, and I cannot wait to share with you. <br />

Today I am sharing with you the mini Album I made using the <a href="http://www.binditall.com/ZutterDisplay.html" target="_blank">Display It All</a> stand from Zutter. This is a gift for a very special and adorable little boy named AJ......our little nephew. I love how I am able to make the mini album and adhere to the stand so it can be displayed at home.<br />

Hi there bloggers, today I would love to share these cute earrings I made using from Piccolo Flower Charm Set from Globecraft. The Flower Charm set comes with a Charm for a necklace, and a matching set of earrings. I loved the size of the charm and opted to use 2 sets to make this pair of earrings.<br />

Using an Exacto knife, gently remove the lose pieces by cutting all the tick marks on earring. Do not pull apart the pieces because you can tear the chipboard.<br />

Generously apply <a href="http://globecraftmemories.com/inc/sdetail/embossing_powder_adhesive/762/839" target="_blank">Embossing Powder Adhesive</a> to the charm.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Using the <a href="http://globecraftmemories.com/inc/sdetail/mermaid_tears_powder_/762/799" target="_blank">Mermaid Tears Powder</a>, I sprinkled powder all over the charm and put excess back into jar. I heat set my earring charms with my heat gun, cooled, and repeated the process again to achieve the 3 dimensional effect I was wanting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once cooled, I applied a thin layer of <a href="http://globecraftmemories.com/inc/sdetail/glastique___matte_flexible_finishing_glaze_3_pk/256/608" target="_blank">Glastique </a>to protect my earrings, Sterling Silver ball hook, and then I added Swarowski crystals to give my earring that finishing touch.<br />

I used a lot of ribbon for the outside. I think my favorite is the seam binding ribbon that was dyed turquoise by my friend <a href="http://papercraftprincess.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cindy Fahrbach </a>and intertwined it with some cute eyelet ribbon from May Arts. If you look closer you can see these cute key trinkets I picked up at Scrap N Yap in Monrovia, CA. <br />

<br />
Michelle here blogging on a Saturday night......yes a Saturday night! I can not remember the last time I was able to do just that. I had been organizing my desk area, as is norm after I finish a project, when I noticed that it was 5:30pm. I had wondered if I would have time to make a layout in time before the sun goes down, so that I can take photos, and I did......HORRAY!!!<br />
<br />

I had this beautiful picture of Izzy, and thought it would look great with with Sunny Side up collection by My Minds Eye.Izzy had just had her long hair cut and her Mom aka "Momarazzi" caught this beautiful photo of her. <br />

This past weekend I had my Niece Alexis stay over and we had so much fun, she brings out the "little" girl in me. Its been a while since she has stayed over night. Alexis was very excited to show me her new braces, she looked so adorable and I wanted to capture her new smile, a huge BIG smile. <br />
<br />
I loved how the pictures came out, and I thought they looked best in black and white with the Indigo Bleu line by Pink Paislee.<br />
