Once Upon A Princess...

I have a very dear friend who is an excellent scrapper.  She really needs to have a blog to share her talents.

Today, we met up and spent 2 hours talking about  glimmer mist.  (haha!!!!).  But she showed me her latest creation. It is SOOO cute that I had to share it with you.  She actually created this for her niece to pass out for Valentine's day at school.   These envelopes were made out of the Once Upon a Princess cartridge (page 73).  The paper is Bo Bunny.  She cut these at 2" and 2.5".  She also used a scallop punch on the flap of the envelope.   Inside, she has a small piece of Bazzill cardstock that the kids can write a note on.

 And look at her Valentine's Day S-Card!!!

Here is her sample of homemade glimmer mist. What I wanted to share with you was her idea of taking white Prima flowers and spraying her homemade Glitter Mist (made with Pearl Ex, water, and Adirondack Ink- shaken in a Mini-Mister (all available at Michaels)).  She is awesome.

Enjoy!

Wishing you a nice day...

I made this card off of a free image that I saw on Dustin Pike's blog.  He has such awesome images!
The inside of the card says "from one princess to another!"
 
I used Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits to shade the image.  I grabbed some of my flowers that I got at Michaels along with some pearly bling that I got on the clearance rack at Michaels.  I typed up the sentiment on my computer and I used my glittery pink gel pen to faux stitch it.  The rest of the bling was from the Recollections bling that you can buy at Michaels.

Amuse-bouche:
*  I watched 6 episodes in the last 5 days on HULU of "The Event."  It's a pot of "24," "LOST," and "ET" thrown in.  Considering it seems to regurgitate the story telling style of these other notable shows, it was still entertaining.
*  Windy in So Cal today--- Claritin- take me away.  And I hear it's going to rain on Saturday. (Bummer).
* I got to see Disc 1 of The Bionic Woman series from the 70's.  HOLY COW.  The first episode is actually the episode of the Six Million Dollar Man that introduces the Jamie Sommers' character.  I didn't recall that Lee Majors SANG on these early episodes...  and I use that word LOOSELY!!!   I nearly stabbed  myself in the head with my paper piercer.  AGH!!!! Nonetheless, the series has good memories for me so I will enjoy this weekend, watching the rest of the season AND scrapping.
