A Blinged Up Shoe

The TOFF#80 challenge this week is "Bling It On." How fun is that? They even let me be a guest designer which is even more fun!!! This is my creation:

I used one of the flowers in the Whimsical Lupin image sheets (the sheet is such a deal because it comes with several different kinds of flowers and leaves, but it is priced like one image). I added some Zva Crystals from CYDI? and lots of Stickles (I added some to every dot on this SU! dp). Then I filled the shoe with Snickers Snacks - that counts as bling too, right? It does in my book because I can't eat them (on a diet you know - and Benzi just because I use them on my card or talk about them doesn't mean I am cheating on my diet- LOL) and they are beautiful!

I used the shoe template available from Ellen Hudson to make the shoe. When I went back to the store to get the link, I found a witches shoe that I think I am going to get this weekend - you need to check it out here. I love to make 3-D projects!!!

I totally love Octopode images - some are whimiscal and sweet, some are from my old favorite childhood stories, some are from some of my favorite horror and fantasty stories, and some are steampunk or just totally.... interesting. Her collection is super extensive with snowmen, elves, puppies, pretty flowers, werewolves, zombies, Audrey Hepburn, Johnny Depp, Ziggy Stardust, Alice in Wonderland, cupcake flowers, snails, houses, trees - pretty much everything. For my next purchase I am trying to decide between Audrey Hepburn and the Lybrinth King...

Hugz to all - remember you can never have enough shoes or friends!!!

    If you start dreaming about eating those snickers bars you know your headed for a diet disaster...lol How many WW points is a snickers bar? Houi-I am dieting too! I need to fit into my summer cruise wear-those steriods I took when I was sick did me in. And didn't I read you have already lost 8lbs??? That is awesome.

    Love your shoe-now are these easy to make? This would be a wonderful favor for Crystal's Bridal shower! I can see this all done in white with white flowers and bling-ummmm yummy! This is fabulous.

    Bear Hugs,
    Carol

      Benzi checking in here...hmmmm, SNICKERS SNACKS!! I'm betting as soon as this photo was made, they went straight into your mouth. I do love that shoe, though. Great job and congrats on the GDT position. Just know I'm watching you. LOL

    This is so cool, a real Cinderella shoe. I would like to find this shoe on the steps of a Prince's castle, especially filled with chocolates.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
