This project was inspired by one my fellow Crafting friends.. Her name is Scrappin Madge. She had made some fabulous wine glasses with green glitter on the stem of the glass and on the bottom of them. So when I seen them I knew I had to make something like those!

So check out  what I had made!

Front View

Top View

Ingredients:

Glitter

 Can of Spray Adhesive

Candle Holder

Vellum

Embellishments

Cupcake Wrappers ( Cricut Cartridge)

Tea Light

Duck Tape

Aerosol Hairspray

Instructions:

Candle Holder

Take a Dollar Store Glass Candle Holder and Duck Tape , and tape around the areas that you do not want glitter at.

Spray the glass with Spray Adhesive and then sprinkle glitter on it. Then Spray hair spray on it and then the hard part "LET IT DRY"

Then Take the tape off...

Candle Holder Shade

 Take Vellum and Cut your design out from the Cupcake Wrapper Cartridge. Cut 3 cupcake wrappers at 21/2" (Note: The more simpler it is the better the shade turns out) Just ask my husband we went round and on this lol.. He had me cutting out like 10 different ones .. Anyways.. Then finish putting the wrapper together and turn upside and there's your shade..How cool is that??

Then take embellishments and finish your shade and put a tea light in it and you have yourself a inexpensive tea light holder and shade!

If you liked this project wait till you see what I made for tomorrow!! I Love it!!!

MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!

Hey There friends.. welcome to a VERY special event!

Today is my Husband's 34th Birthday! I wanted to tell you a little about my Husband and why this Hop means the world to me!

Chris and I have had a roller coaster ride since we first met. Every Birthday Chris has had there has been some kind of tragedy.  From having a Sick Baby to Our love ones passing to him being diagnosed with MS. We have had moments where we almost lost hope. Then from the grace of God we always came through!  My love for him is unconditional!!! He is my Best Friend.
I LOVE YOU CHRIS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETY!!!

I wanted to do something different for his Birthday, so I asked some Awesome ladies to help me celebrate his Birthday and make something for Chris. I think this is a  challenge  because Masculine Cards and Crafts are a lot harder for me to come up with.

So this is what I have made for my Awesome Husband....

I made him this Picture frame for his New desk at his New job.

Ingrediants:

Chip Board:Making Memories

Designer Paper- Bo Bunny

Glue: Modge Pod

Inks: Stazon Timber Brown , and Stazon Jet Black

Ribbon: Stash

I took a 12x12 Bo Bunny paper and cut it  up  into pieces and then glued them on to the chip board using Modge pod. I then took a crafting knife and cut the excess paper off from the edges. Then I inked the edges with the brown and then the black ink. The sentiments were from another 12x12 Bo Bunny paper and it was actually the boarder pages.. I just cut the words up in sections and glued them onto the frame. I connected the chipboard using brown ribbon from my crafting stash!

I hope you liked my Gift that I have made for my Husband!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I do have some sponsors who are Giving Away Amazing Prizes..

Here they are:

Creative Kuts-  1 Free File Winners Choice
