Some More Domino Pieces...

Here are some more pieces I made from dominos. I have to say I have never made any type of jewelry before or any kind of pieces. I find that these are a lot of fun and leave a lot of room for such a tiny piece for creativity! They truly are a miniture piece of art with wire and beads. I will be selling these so if you see one you would love to have leave me a message or send me an email and I will get back with you. I promise that I will be back with some instructions and pics as with the how to's. Thanks for looking and leave me a post to tell me what you think? Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog and I ALWAYS love to receive posts/luvins from you all!!







This last one I flipped the domino the other direction and I actually used a paper bead there too. The paper bead is sealed with an acrylic sealer too so it is not soo soft. Thanks for stopping by!

BOM (book of me) Challenge

Here is the layout I did for the BOM Challenge for the ETG over at scrapbook.com. The challenge was to scrap a page about things that make you happy. You also received extra points if you included at least 5 things. I kept this fairly simple and knew exactly what I wanted to do. I kept it all in the neutral zone for the colors. Printed my picture off in sepia and inked the edges with some different browns and reddish browns with colorbox chalks (I just love those things). Then in Print Shop I typed the beginning of each of my boxes with sentences such as "Happiness to me consists of" and I'm Happiest when" or "It makes me happy" etc. (get the idea?) then I left room to finish the sentence in my own handwriting. So I cut all those boxes, inked them and then finished the sentence about things that make me happy. I then also made the title in Print Shop and punched out the tags and added them to the title with brads. I used a mesh type embellishment behind that and put together the layered flower and added a button with hemp in it as well as some hemp around my picture. I then just added the little extras and also added a little bit of doodling, not much though. I laid this all out prior to writing in my boxes just to make sure it would all fit nicely. I think I actually had about 3 boxes left over. I think I will do a few pages kind of like this for my BOM about things I love, things I dislike.... :O) we'll see, sounds good now! LOL... SOOO, if you don't have a BOM going I suggest you start one. We always tend to scrap everything and everyone except ourselves. I am glad I have started doing these challenges because now I have a book just for myself and all about me... some day someone just might pick it up and take interest in it!! I really liked how it turned out the only thing I might do a little different is use a little thicker marker to write in. I may go back and go over it all, or maybe not!!





THANKS for looking! and thanks if you left me a message!
