Life as a single mom of triplets has been filled with ups and downs so far, we are adjusting well! Things are falling into place and things are good, very good!
We had a nice day today, just chillin' at the beach. I even have a few photos to share:

Tattered Angels - Glimmer Mist - FAB NEW PRODUCTS!
Hello friends!
Hope everyone is doing well. My life is awesome!! I have been busy working on my new Design Team projects for Tattered Angels as a Glimmer Mist Chick! Hold on to your hats they are about to release some AWESOME new products!!
Here's a little sneak peek on some of the projects I have been working on.
PROJECT ONE: Acrylic hanging photo
Ingredients
Clearly Creative Acrylic Album
Fancy Pants Rub-ons
Prima Say it in crystals
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors: Pink Taffy, Vintage Pink, Pearl Robin’s Egg Blue
Tattered Angels Chipboard Butterfly
Tattered Angels Sheer Butterfly
Directions
Starting with the acrylic album I sprayed a generous amount of Glimmer Mist in two shades. I used a piece of cardboard to block the areas I did not want to spray. The drying time is increased because of the non-porous surface.
Next I sprayed the Sheer Butterfly in pink and blue and set aside to dry. I sanded down the chipboard butterfly so that it would absorb more Glimmer Mist for a deeper color.
Once dry I added white accents by hand.
The rub-on is applied directly to the photo.
The photo is attached to the back of the acrylic album, concealing the glue behind the butterfly and dried Glimmer Mist. The Prima crystals are layered over the top and finally the butterfly is attached with fibers and secured with glue dots.
PROJECT TWO: BUTTERFLY MASK ON ACRYLIC
Ingredients
Clearly Creative Acrylic Album
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors: Pink Taffy, Vintage Pink, Pearl Robin’s Egg Blue
Tattered Angels Sheer Butterfly (used as a mask)
Directions
When I created the Acrylic hanging photo I was able to sneak in this bonus project. As I sprayed my sheer butterfly for the other project, I just placed it over this acrylic piece just like a mask. The photos do not do this justice the sparkle of the Glimmer Mist look beautiful when the sunlight shines on it.
PROJECT THREE: MONOGRAM LETTER
Ingredients
Wood Monogram Letter
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors: Pearl, Iridescent Gold, Lemon Zest
Tattered Angels Fibers Coffee Shop
Tattered Angels Chipboard Crown
Tim Holtz Crackle Paint
Directions
Paint the monogram letter in crackle paint and allow to dry completely. Spray a generous amount of Glimmer Mist over the painted areas, allowing it to fill the cracked areas.
I sanded the chipboard piece lightly and sprayed with Iridescent Gold and Lemon Zest, then added the hand writing and accents. Finish by adding fibers and attaching crown.
PROJECT FOUR: OWL CANDLE
Ingredients:
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors: Pearl, Iridescent Gold and Suede
Tattered Angels Chipboard Owl
Tattered Angels Fibers Coffee Shop
Directions
Take your candle and lightly spray Glimmer Mist over the entire candle. You will need to allow plenty of drying time. Once dry you will have an amazing glimmery beaded finish. My chipboard owl is sprayed with Iridescent Gold to add a little extra shine. The owl is attached with a variety of fibers. This is a fast and easy way to add a custom look to your home décor.
PROJECT FIVE: WREATH
Ingredients
Wreath
Dried Flowers
Delish Chipboard
Raffia
Maya Road leaf ribbon
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Colors: Gold and Olive Vine, Iridescent Gold, Pearl.
Tattered Angels Chipboard Shapes
Tim Holtz Crackle Paint
Directions
Spray the entire wreath and ribbon in Gold and add accents in Olive Vine. Weave ribbon around wreath, securing between the vines.
Paint the chipboard letters in crackle paint, once dry, add Glimmer Mist. Tie on chipboard accents with raffia (spray raffia in gold before tying). Leave the ends loose on the raffia and use them to tie the letter directly to the wreath.
Lightly spray the dried flowers, allowing drying tie to see how much color has been absorbed before applying another coat. Attach the flower securely and add a final coat of Pearl Glimmer Mist.

TRY THIS - Techniques with Paint and Ink

KI Memories Lace Cardstock Flower Child Socialite
Pinwheel Flower Brads

Special Techniques
Glimmer Mist applied to pattered paper and lace cardstock with brayer.
Use a Craftmat to protect your work are. Layout your lace cardstock and spray Glimmer Mist lightly, then spread out with a brayer. Heat set to speed up drying time.
Spray glimmer mist around the edge of your patterned paper - use heat gun to speed up drying time.
Chipboard title painted with crackle paint, heat set and sprayed with glimmer mist
Paint a generous coat of crackle paint on your chipboard, the thicker you coat the chipboard the more crackly you will get. Optional - you may want to start with a base coat of paint before applying your crackle. Allow to air dry.
Once your chipboard is completely dry apply a coat of Glimmer Mist for a sparkly touch.
Here's a close up of the finished chipboard.
Pinwheel brads altered with alcohol ink and use to attach fibers directly to photo
The pinwheel brads where too shiny for this project. So I used alcohol ink to change the color.
Use a dabber to apply the ink directly to your metal embellishments. Allow to air dry or use a heat gun to speed up the process.
Assemble the pieces and you are done!

New Digital Program
There's a cool digital scrapbooking program called SCRAPBOOK MAX. I just started playing around with it and I have to say from a NON-Digital Scrappers point of view - it is really easy to use!!!
Not only is it easy, but it's FUN! The program comes loaded with a boat load of templates, page elements and fonts and whatever else you need to get on the digital bandwagon.
I am going to play with it a little more and then write up a full review - I just couldn't wait to at least tell you about it. Feel free to contact me for more info in the meantime.
