Shiny
Monday, March 10, 2008
This week's Unplugged Project Theme was shiny. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to do with Paige, but they fell through for various reasons - and as a trying to reform perfectionist, I'm working on being ok with that - they'll go back into the ol' bag of tricks for another time.
So Paige and I attempted the Tin Foil Festive from Scrumdilly-do! Please check hers out for very nice detailed instructions, and much better pictures. I'm still learning how to take decent pictures! :) Also, you can check out this blog - and see the same technique used for Christmas cards! :)

I love the looks of your shiny fun - and congratulations on letting go of plans that wouldn't work and embracing your inner imperfectionist!

Great fun. Congratulations on letting go of the perfectionist. Life can be so much fun when it is a little imperfect. LOL..

I feel SO at home in your imperfect world! Thanks for making me comfy.

Neat!
(and yes, I did intend that lame ironic pun)

Yay, that looks like fun. Thanks for the link to Unplug your kids, I see several ideas that might just help me get through the last bit of Winter.

Very pretty! The tissue paper on the foil is a great idea and looks really pretty. Thanks for giving me ideas!

Great idea. I loved her Christmas cards.

I like the glitter. How fun that we did similar things for the project this week.

I like the colors of your tissue paper! It's funny how that makes it look completely different. :-) I don't remember if I said this on my post, but I used Mod Podge to cover the whole thing at the end, and if you use the glossy kind it makes it even shinier.
