SOAP 'STACHES

so...you probably know you my love with items on sticks...or steeks... depending on what part on the country you're in...well...i finally found a way to incorporate that into my soapmaking!...i introduce the soap 'stache on a stick!...

the mold i used was really a lollipop mold...but hey...who says it just has to be used for candy?...so following the same method that i did here for the soapsicles...when it came time to pouring...i used the lollipop mold and inserted sticks...let 'em cool...then popped out!...



now...you don't always have to insert the lolly stick...this bunch i did without 'em...



i'd love to stick around...but i really moustache...and take a bath!...

PICK A CHARM...ANY CHARM

so...while shopping on the bay...ebay that is...i found some beatle guitar picks and just had to have them...not sure what my plans were for 'em...but i'd worry about that later...

well...in micheals one day...my home away from home...ended up in the jewelry aisle and saw some wire hoops...bam...it hit me...i'd whip up some wine charms with those guitar picks!...



just punched a hole in each of the picks...attached a jump ring...then my wire hoop...all done...



now each guest will be able to "pick" a charm and party like a rock star!...

THESE PAINT YOUR ORDINARY NOTEPADS

so...when attempting to clean my crafting cave...i came across a buttload of paintchips...not sure how i ended up with so many...but figured it was time to put some to use...got to thinking of ideas...and these little notepads came to mind!...



with the help of my zutter bind it all i whipped these up in no time!...the front is one of my many paintchips...the middle...copier paper cut to match the size...the back...some chipboard also cut to size....punched holes in everything...then cut my wires for the binding and went to town!...



the paintchips i used were 4" inches by 5" inches...so they make nice sized notepads...sad thing...is even if i made a hundred these little rainbow cuties...i'd still have paintchips leftover...yeah...told you i had a buttload!....lol...

SCRAP AND STAMP REMIX

so...felt like challenging myself this week...the rules?...to first...create a card...something we all know i'm not that great at...lol....then...to take the same my pink stamper stamp that i used in this card and see what else i could come up with...lastly...only use scraps...

i must say...i'm pretty darn proud of what i came up!...i think i might've actually squealed when i was all done!....because usually what's in my head...isn't at all like the finished product...but this time it was!...lol...



grabbed some red scraps of paper...and cut into 1/2" inch strips that are 5" inches long...then created the white "stripes" with my stamp...topped off with some puffies star embellies from ki memories....did up a little white stitching with my signo pen...and called this challenge done!...

hope everyone has a happy fourth!....just like the card says!...
