First of all....

Happy birthday to my sweet Ava! She is 4 years old today! I took this pic this morning (8am to be exact) before she opened her presents. She just woke up and had to put her Princess dress on over her Hannah Montana pjs! She is a Princess after all! I love you Ava!





















I have a few cool things to announce this morning but I will wait until I share my creations! This set is a 3x3 card with a paper bead bracelet. I did it showcasing the Ornate Tooled Leather BG from Starving Artistamps (as well as a few other people) and we are hoping it gets picked up and put in a mag. If it does happen, it would be my first time being published! Say a prayer!

• STAMPS- Ornate Tooled Leather BG, Alpha (Starving Artistamps)
• PAPER- DCWV blue, black CS
• INK- Brilliance black
  
• OTHER- Copic blue marker, black ribbon, Word Window punch

All of the ingredients are the same for the bracelet but I also used a Mulberry Prima (2 coats of Modge Podge) and a blue bead.

If anyone would like the directions on how to make paper beads or a paper bead bracelet then just leave a comment here saying so and I will do a tutorial for you! And I promise I won't make you wait forever! I'll get to it early next week.

I wanted to thank you all for the well wishes you left! I feel much better today but even yesterday I was still feeling pretty crummy. Glad to be better though for my baby's birthday! Hope all of you have an wonderful weekend! Spring is near, I can feel it!
