TGIF!!!!

Hey everyone! Thank Goodness It's Friday! Whoo hoo!!!! I hope each of you are having a wonderful day so far. I just finished up this card for a challenge and wanted to share. I heat embossed the ball fringe (pom pom trim), dress, and argyle patterned background. I used my favorite Cuttlebug folder for the background, which is D'Vine Swirl. I embossed it on the metallic paper. I love that stuff for Cuttlebuggin'. It looks so cool. Then I also used my Cuttlebug to add the heart stamp. I then added some black lace ribbon and a paper button. I made all the buttons with my Martha Stewart button punch. Here it is:

Up close of stamping. Ball fringe is a Judikins Bolio stamp. Love those! Argyle patterned stamp is from a Stampin' Up set. Dress stamp is from Stampabilities.

Also, I wanted to share with yall this neat tip I learned on the message boards. Do you get tired of buying those expensive glue dots? Well no longer my friends! You can make your own A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER!!!!!!!! Go and buy some of Aleene's 'Tack it Over and Over' glue. I got mine at Michael's Arts and Crafts. Next, I recycled the paper that was originally from a Glue Dot's pkg. Squeeze a small amount of glue onto the paper. You will want to make a little bit bigger of a dot than you will want because it will shrink a tad as it dries. Let it sit overnite to dry and voila'...glue dots! They work great too! Here is a visual for ya. Now the glue is white when it comes out, so these are still wet/setting up. They will be clear when it dries.

Also, I finished up this layout this week. This will be my first layout to sell. I put many hours and much love into this layout. I hope it shows. Here it is:










Thanks for stopping by! Yall take care!
