Tie-Dye Nail Tutorial!

I've been doing my nails pretty awesome lately, if I do say so myself. Everywhere I go, I am always getting compliments from people (just ask Sarah or Allyson! LOL!) and they always are asking me how the heck I did them.

Well, here's your chance to learn... =)

I hope you like my little photoshoot. ;) [Sorry, I get bored house sitting! LOL] I just have to point out the Zoolander/Magnum-looking shot in the lower right. Ha!


Step 1: Pick 3 of your favorite (or complimentary) colors! Don't forget to grab your top coat! =)

Step Dos: If you plan on using dark colors, I suggest a base coat... let's just say, you don't want smurf-colored nails for 3 weeks while you try to buff them out. Trust me. Not fun. ;)

Step 3: Paint 1/3 of your lower nail base with the first color. Let dry a couple minutes.

Step 4: Paint the middle 1/3 of your nail base with the second color. Let dry a couple minutes.

Step Cinco: Like that? Spanglish. ;) Anywho- paint the top 1/3 of your nail with the third color.

Optional: Apply some OPI Shatter to it! (Black in my case)

Step 6: Apply top coat.

That's it! Six easy steps, and you can rock tie-dye looking nails!

Have fun! =)

Until the next!

My Etsy Store!

Well, I finally did it. I made an Etsy store! You can check it out here.

A Little 4x4 Action!

Sarah, once again, needed a scrappy friend last night but I just wasn't feeling it. I have lots of photos I can scrap, but don't really have any printed off. You know how that goes... I can be the queen of procrastination. ;)

Getting bored watching her, I decided I should really makes some cards since it always seems like I need one and never have one. LOL Here are my little 4"x4" cards... I was able to knock out 6 of them with WeScrap kits only.




Here I cut out my own little arrow embelly with grungeboard.









Well, until the next. ;)

New Creative Outlet

So I've kind of been a scrappy funk lately, but not necessarily in a creative funk. I've been messing around with making something I'm a tad obsessed about... hair bows. =)

Now that I've been growing my hair out, I wear hair bows more often than not... and every time I see cute ones at the store, I always think to myself "I can totally make these." Turns out, I totally can. ;)

Here are a few that I've made lately:


I also messed around with some rings. I saw these lady skull silhouettes on Etsy, and I just couldn't resist. Not to mention, I HAD to add some bling to them. ;)


Well, until the next. ;)

New Chucks FTW!!

I'm super stoked about my new Converse Allstar's.

I went to their site (www.converse.com) a few weeks back just to browse around and noticed that they had a "Red" section where you could design your own Chucks-- any way that your little heart desires-- and they would custom make your shoe for you, AND donate 15% of your purchase to the needy. How sweet is that?!

Needless to say, I had to totally get on that train... without further adieu, here are mine:


Their site very user friendly, and hip. They even make you name your shoes and everything-- I called mine 'Queen of Hearts'-- which I deemed totally fitting. =)

So, if you're looking for something cool and different, check it out... but do remember it takes 3-4 weeks (just in case you're looking for a gift).

Overall, A+... I'll definitely be ordering another pair... I mean, it's for a good cause, right?? ;)

Coach Insignia & More!!

Everyone with a mom knows it was Mother's Day this weekend... ;)

I like to always show my ma a little love (and sometimes laughs) by hand-making a card for her to celebrate the special day. We always go to Coach Insignia for their awesome Mother's Day brunch, hence, the joke inside the card. (Used WeScrap's Tea Time Kit)


For those of you who don't know, Coach Insignia is a fancy schmancy restaurant all the way on the top of the Ren Cen building (the tallest building with the "GM" on it) in downtown Detroit-- I believe about 70 stories high overlooking the beautiful city, and also Windsor Ontario. (See Below)




As always, we had an amazing time... and I'm pretty sure I'm still full from all the amazing food and desserts! ;)

I scrapped with Sarah on Friday and also knocked out a check book cover for my cousin Kassi. I swear, I'm mildly obsessed with making check book covers for my favorite people... but hey, at least I can admit it. ;) I rocked this one out with a Crate Paper pack and random embellies (and doodles of course!). I joked with her--but almost meant it-- that I was going to rip the K off and put a H there... I'm a little jelly about how stinkin' cute it came out! ;) LOL


Well, until the next. ;)

New Layouts!

A good and long-time scrappy friend of ours, Sue Sykes, invited myself and Sarah Nolan over the boarder for a little scraptastic voyage last weekend... don't even get me started on the crazy adventure that the boarder crossing was!! LOL! We all got a lot done considering all the chatting we did! ;) Well, I promised I would get my layouts scanned-- and I did exactly that.

Without further adieu...



The first layout I knocked out was entirely WeScrap's kit, Urban Skies. Gotta love all the colors and embellies in that kit! Not to mention all the polka dots!! (Polka Dots = LOVE!)



My second layout was entirely (minus the main alpha, and bling of course) Crate Paper-- used from an older paper pack I had lying around...

I don't think they turned out too shabby considering my scrappy funk, and all the time I just sat there, looking at the layouts, hoping that they would do themselves. ;) LOL

Well, until the next. ;)

Blinged Out Trinket Box

Just wanted to share a blinged-out trinket box I made a while back. I was keeping it a secret for a while in hopes my best friend's fiance would use it as her ring box to propose to her in... but he went another route. No biggie. Now I just have to find someone else to give it to! ;)

This little box was recycled from Tim Holtz Film Strip Packaging and I thought, this would be so cute if I blinged the crap out of it. I mean, what girl doesn't like a little bling?? ;)


Until the next... =)

Oh. Em. Gee. New Layout.

I haven't scrapped since at least October because I've been in a scrappy-five-month-long-funk.

Just felt like sharing... =)


The photo is from my Mackinaw trip with my bestie Allyson... which I may add, that we're planning on going back this October-- can't wait for that! =)

...until the next! ;)
