Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions.....GRAND OPENING HOP!!!

Welcome to the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions Grand-Opening Hop!

Our friend and my crafty bestie Beckie from Just B Creative Crazy is starting a new chapter in her crafty world...She is opening up her own online store and she gathered a few of her crafty friends to help introduce you all to her new adventure.

The Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions store focuses mainly on brads and eyelets. However, it does have a few other crafty notions that you can't live without, along with being very proud to carry May Arts ribbon.
As you hop along, each stop will be showcasing items that can be found in the 
NEW Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions online store.

You should be coming from the Sparkly Sweet Blog, which is the start of the hop, if not head on back so you don't miss anything!! 

Now onto my projects....
For my first project, Beckie sent me this adorable Jumbo Paperclip and asked me to decorate it for the hop. As I was trying to figure out what to make with it, it came to me that I am always looking for bookmarks and these jumbo paper clips would be PERFECT!

So using some wool felt from my stash, the Flower Petal Dies and the Stitched Leaves Dies from My Creative Time, my glue gun, a button from my stash and some May Arts Jute, I came up with this! Very girly and pretty, but without much to get in the way of the book and/or get destroyed from overuse. I can see making more of these...especially one for my MIL who is a HUGE reader!! What about as a teacher's gift..right?? 

Item's you will find in the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions Store

• jumbo paper clip 
• May Arts Jute

For my next project I wanted to make a card following this week's Mojo Monday Sketch, as well as using some different items that you will find in the Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions Store.
Here is my monochromatic Halloween card....

Following the sketch, which I will post at the bottom of this, I  started my card using some Kraft Card stock, cream cardstock and designer paper from Jillibean Soup~Country Pumpkin Chowder. After cutting out all my pieces using my cameo, I went about putting my card together.  I did use my drippy goo border punch (just thought the card needed something in between the designer paper and the cream paper). I of course added some machine stitching to my card and then stamped the sentiment and that adorable pumpkin using My Creative Time~Treats for My Sweets stamp set.  Finally for my embellishments I used more of that awesome May Arts Jute, some gorgeous Orange May Arts ribbon and an adorable pumpkin sparkly brad.
