A Little Bling

I'm always looking for new ideas for my wooden items. And I'm always looking for things I can pair with my wood to add color and give buyers options. I recently experimented with some glitter and gel medium to go with my wood for some earrings...the results were sparkly goodness!

I first made myself a pair in pink (surprise, surprise!) and I loved how they turned out. A little color, a little bling...perfect!

I knew gold and silver had to be next. They're colors that can be worn with just about any outfit and I love how they're just enough bling that you can wear them during the day to work or out on the town at night.

I do have several other colors of glitter if someone is looking for a certain color. Pink, purple, blue, teal, red, green, and copper are currently on hand. (I tried the black, but really didn't like the results...not enough bling!)
Do you like a little bling for your accessories?

Bling and Glitter and Rhinestones...Oh My!

I was recently asked to make a set of scrapbooks for a girl's night out birthday bash. The birthday girl loves bling and jewelry and everything that glitters, so the scrapbooks needed to be just as sparkly as her taste :) She also loves anything to do with hearts.

I added rhinestones to two of the letters and used glitter paper on another. I also used rhinestones in the centers of some of the embellishments. I made a glitter frame on the first page and add some really cute glitter hearts as well.

These were so much fun to make! I hope all the girls love them!

Now I need to clean all the glitter off my work table...LOL :)
