Shiny


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! :)

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

  9. 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.
