Yes! I am having a design team call. The term is coming to an end, and it is time to bring brand new designers aboard. I encourage all levels of crafters to apply. If you are interested please e-mail me using the contact button at the top of my blog.

This week's Whimsical Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes! Click here to link up;) 

Hello Whimsical Crafters! Are you all ready for the weekend? We are suppose to get a little bit of a snow storm tonight. We will see how much it really amounts to. So I have decided to go with "Featured Fridays" for the new series on my blog...thank you to my sweet friend Robin, for the suggestion. I am way late getting my post up today. Last week I sliced my hand opened with a pair of Cutter Bee Scissors (I know which one of my wonderful crafty friends are laughing their you know whats off..and I say shut up! lol) Well anyway, I wound up with 8 stitches. It has been so hard to craft, type..or do just about anything. Takes me forever! Sorry about that. First I would like to share a card I made featuring Natalee PK-210,  from Peachy Keen Stamps. 

I think she is so happy, and sure to put a smile on anyone's face. Don't you agree? I colored her with my Prisma Colored Pencils, and added some Viva Decor Glitter Pen, and Diamond Glaze. I added some twine, and crocheted flowers for embellishments. I think this the sentiment "Thought you might need a pick me up" goes perfect with Natalee.

That sentiment comes from my Everyday Sentiments stamp set.

This set and the other in my first release can be found in my shop.


For today's Featured Friday I am going to tell you about a product that I used on my card today, Diamond Glaze. If you look at the red flowers, and the center of the biggest flower you can see it (a little hard in the photo, but really pops in person!)

Before I get started I just wanted to mention that if I am doing a product review or a tip and it is replacing something that I used to use, I am not going to mention that "old" product. I don't ever want to be negative about anything, and the next person may love that product, or have a wonderful experience with it. It is all just a matter of preference. This is just my experience, and it may help other crafters out there that are having the same problem, or this may be a completely new idea for them.

Since I started crafting I had been using another product to add glossy dimension to my projects. However, I did not have any luck with it. It ALWAYS clogged, and when I applied it, it always muted or sometimes would even change the color of whatever I was applying it to. I was shopping around in my favorite online store Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, and came across the Diamond Glaze. I love it! Never clogs, no color distortion! You can even add water to it, if you prefer more dimension than what it gives you straight out of the bottle. If you are interested you can click on the link and it will take you directly to the product. Hope this has helped you a little.
