Teacher "Inspire" Necklace

Here is a gift I designed and made for my son's teacher for her Christmas gift.  I did some metal stamping and wire bending to achieve some of the elements on this necklace.  Some elements include: Porcelain figure, Tim Holtz charms, a typewriter key, and beading.  I hope you enjoy and get inspired to make your own teacher gift as they deserve everything beautiful and special.  

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Mini Albums

It's been crazy as usual but I was able to complete 3 Christmas albums because they are small!  I used all Teresa Collins "Noel" Christmas papers, silver German glitter glass, (one of my most used crafty items), diamond dust, and lots of trims! (seem binding of course)  I used the Sizzix Bigz Banner, Layered Oval Scallop Die for these albums.  Each album is the same but with different style covers.  These were fairly quick to complete as they are small.  I prefer larger sized albums.  I just got in some new Sizzix Pro dies which are basically 12x12 and should be getting in a new Accucut die soon if not today.  

Merry Christmas Ya'll!
