Theme of this hop is use your favorite  Rick St. dennis digi, now that was a bit of a problem because I like them all....


For the ones that really want to know my favorite images check out the coloring book that has them all in it here (there is a real book too at Amazon ).  For Sparkle and Glitter I thought a more cute image would be more appropriate and I decided to go for Debbie singing in the rain . i used her in my handmade journal (see how to make this journal out of envelopes on my you tube channel, link in the side bar).

 Here she is.....

The quote is by Marilyn Monroe and the doodles she stands on and the flower are drawn by me, if you like my doodles in rubber stamps check out Sin City stamps, they have a sheet of rubber stamps designed by me

 The digi was coloured using pencils, how the background is made you can see in the video and the sentiment was written using a stencil

Easy to make Mothers day gift

Today I have a easy and quick DIY gift idea for you (also fun to make with kids, and easy to adjust to Christmas or Halloween or any other occassion)

Supplies used:
 Digi stamp 1929 Hat  by Rick St.dennis
Deco Art Decou page Napkin, Decou page Crystal Glitter.
Deco Art Glamour Dust Celebration Pink Glitter Paint
Pink candle
Small beads in pink and lavender
Glass Votive holder

Step 1: Colour the digital image and cut it out, adhere the image to the votive holder using Deco pauge napkin and let dry.

Step 2:  Add a layer of Decoupage Crystal glitter over the entire surface of the votive holder, I added 2 layers, make sure to let it dry before adding the second layer. This gives the votive holder a frosted look. The Glitter doesn't show very well in the picture but it looks very nice in real life.

Step 3: add Celebration Pink glitter paint on the edge of the votive holder and let dry.

Step 4: poor the beads in the votive holder and put the candle in, also see picture below

And that's it, now you only need to gift wrap it is a nice way and your little gifty is ready.

Here some more pictures

This idea can also be used for all kinds of others themes, use different colours and a Christmas or Halloween themed digi and voila, you have some nice decoration or gift.

Some exciting news too, the challenges will start again at Rick's Sparkle and Glitter blog, first challenge starts may 13, and we are kicking off with a blog hop so go check the link here and follow the blog so you won't miss anything (there are prizes to be won)
