Crafty Secrets gets some wings from Tattered Angels!

What a catchy title, eh? Okay... maybe not but it is a Monday and I have not had near enough coffee yet! BUT I do have to tell you what a privilege it was to play with Crafty Secrets this past month and combining it with my one of favourite things in the world... GLIMMER MIST and other yummy Tattered Angels Products.

Our design teams paired up for the month of March and we created projects using both companies products and the results were simply amazing! I created a few projects, but I will show you these two for now and show you a couple more within the next few days. This first one is a wooden heart that I painted and used the Glimmer Screens to create a funky pattern on the heart. I used some very cool Crafty Secrets Journalling notes and images to compliment the colour pallete and tucked them behind my hubby's photo. There are a plethora of other goodies on this project too that were all altered with Glimmer Mist including Prima Flowers and Lace and Riff Raff Designs chipboard and even the Vintaj brass embellishments. All of these additional elements compliment the Tattered Angels Embossed Regal Glimmer Chips that are used to draw attention to the photo and help to reinforce the theme:)
I do have to tell you a funny story about this project. It was pointed out to me that perhaps I did not choose the BEST photo. It is kind of a feminine/ girly project. There person that brought it to my attention kind of sent me for a loop and I did not know how to take it... should I be insulted... nah! The guy who told me was someone I dated in high school and I have barely spoken to him in 20 years sooooooo why would he bother to comment on that? But it did make me re-eveluate this project. So I asked my hubby! He has reassured me that his 6'4" frame of 260 lbs is manly enough to tolerate any slack from having his mug shot appear on something full of so much bling and floral enhancements! He ws touched that it was his photo I used and said he would be hurt if I replaced it with a photo of my neice or something. SO for that... I love you babe! I am glad you are manly enough to tolerate my girly stuff...lol! I hope yo all can appreciate it as much as I do:)
Okay, so I was also playing around the other night with some Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets. They sponsorring a couple of my upcoming classes at Scrapfest., I LOVE all of the vintage images and fun little quotes! SO I made a very Quick and Simple layout featuring a few of them from the Domestic Goddess collection. I paired them up with the Tattered Angels Embossed Glimmer Chip (crown) and the new Tattered Angels letters. It's something I am not too proud to admit... I am not sure where my domesticity went but it is official, it is GONE! I used to have it but not so much anymore... work has taken over my home and I vow to change that but in the mean time I had a BLAST creating this simple layout:) It makes me giggle as so many of the images in the Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps seem to be made just for me!

So, there you have it!
