Weekly Spotlight 6/17-6/23

Published by Michele Boyer at 6:48 am under My Designs, My Favorite Things

This week’s spotlight with My Favorite Things is on the crystal collections and applicator.

Your Spotlight Savings: From today through June 23rd save 10% off all crystal collections.

U ROCK!

Here I’ve used the yellow (Light Topaz) crystals from the Spring Collection. On the drummer’s buttons, I used the smallest crystals from the Crystal Clear Collection. I love the tiny size (only 2 mm)…perfect for buttons or little jewelry accents.
I stamped the drum twice, cutting out the green rim on the second image and popping it up for some added interest.

I repeatedly stamped “ROCK!” across the top of the inside and added a few more crystals along the bottom next to the skull and crossbones.

Be sure to check out this week’s HTDT where Cindy has some great ideas for using crystals.

And what’s in the Bubble Bin this week? Go see!

Well, today is the kids’ last day of school. I’m not looking forward to picking up my daughter this afternoon. Last year she cried all the way home because she already missed her teacher and her friends. I sat on the kitchen floor holding her until she felt better. It was so sweet, so sad and so hard. I expect today to be even worse. She absolutely adores her teacher this year (as do I). My son is pretty sentimental too. (And his teacher is just as great.) :( He’ll be sad. It’ll be a tough afternoon for sure.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

LOVE this fun and funky card Michele! The colours and layout are awesome!

Chloe is always sad too when school ends. Usually the following day she gets up crying that she misses school, her teachers and friends. After a few days, she gets over it and realizes how fun it is to just PLAY all day! haha!
