Once upon a time.....and a few things...

Hello! Marivic here!  I'm hoping you're having a great summer! I'm here to share with you a project I made for Kay's Challenge for June.

"Once upon a time" is one of our favorite show. With this LO, I used Gauche Alchemy Kit

for embellishments. I also added chipboard from Scrapiniec and a doily stamp that I embossed from

Viva Las Vegas Stamps.

My daughter and I also made this ornament using more of Gauche Alchemy

goodies.

For information about our sponsors and June Challenge, please read below. 

The theme this month is: Favorite Movie or TV Show and the challenge is: Multiple Photos
Your project must be centered around your favorite movie or TV show and must consist of more than one photo. You can use the same photo twice or use different photos--the choice is yours. If you just can't pick one movie or TV show--then feel free to center your project on your favorite actor or actress, this counts as well.

Kay's Kreative Korner

Kay's Kreative Korner was opened in 2009. It began simply as a way of sharing a few of my handmade items. I opened my shop with a couple of hand stamped cards, butterflies & a few pre-made scrapbook pages. Within a year, I stopped making cards and decided to concentrate on specific embellishments--I went with the butterfly. I've always admired the butterfly & what it symbolizes. Change, transformation, a new start, beginnings...with this concept I started making scrapbook embellishments based on existing butterflies from all around the world as well as butterflies that I have designed myself. Each butterfly is hand cut & carefully assembled by me.

Within a few months I started to add transparent 'Glass' butterflies which are clear in nature but add a very bold & unique touch to any crafty project. My latest creations are the 'Rose' butterfly collection which are butterflies with roses on their wings & the 'Message on Wings' butterfly collection with sentiments printed on their wings that can be personalized.

In addition to the butterflies I specialize in vines & beaded flowers. Each item is handmade with much TLC and careful precision. My greatest reward is seeing how others use my embellishments on their own projects & pages or to decorate a special occasion.
