Fun with Blue Moon Beads part 2

I spent Christmas Eve making myself some presents. I'm always making things for others and it was nice to take some time to make something for myself. Ok, so I still took some time to make something for my mom and sisters too. Hard habit to break ;) 

 

I've been a little obsessed with Paris and anything French since I was in high school. I took french in HS and Community college. I visited Paris and southern France a few years ago and I still love it and I'm planning to go back.




 I knew I wanted to make this fish necklace since I saw the pendant and chain.

 

 
So pretty even in the back :)

 

 This seahorse is for my mom. She loves anything ocean themed.


 
She's one of the most peaceful persons I know, always Zen. Hakuna Mattata is her motto. 


I'm planning to make one of these bird necklaces for each of my sisters, my mom and myself. Each one will be a little different, just like each one of us. I've got 2 down, 2 more to go!



Hope your Christmas was wonderful and that your new year will be too. 
I found most of these beautiful beads at DCWVdeals.com just in case you're wondering ;)

    Wow, that necklace with the plane is lovely!! We didn't make it to the antique store, Hayden was too enarmoured by the woodcrafting store! Ha!

    Happy New Year to you too! I look forward to what new crafty delights we get ourselves into this year!

    Nothing wrong with an obsession with Gay Paree, I always find things with a Parisian flair to be evocative. Love the city myself and all the things that go with it.
    Yes, I will be at CHA - are you going? I am in Sylmar now. A bit tired from the flight especially as I was fully awake at 5 am today. Had a good sleep the night before - hoping it gets better before I head off on Friday for Anaheim.

    Hugs, xx Neet

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Image
Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
