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.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
