Charm Clips and Miniature Pictures

Are these cute or what??????????????

These little pictures are from Tim's Lost and Found paper stash. They're the smallest of the set of old pictures.

I used a small circle punch to cut the picture and "urged" the picture into the center of the Charm Clip.

Add some Glossy Accents to one side on your Craft Sheet, and when dry, add it to the back. This is cool because a picture appears on both sides, so the Charm Clip is great on either side. The Charm Clips are from Tim Holtz @Ranger.

Have fun, make some of these, and I'll show you where to use them in a much larger project coming later. It's loaded with TIM stuff.

Stay Tuned.....tomorrow I'll show you the finished project and tutorial!

More fun with Tim and Ten Seconds Studio

Short post. Got some goodies from Tim the other day. One I had to play with right away.

This is the Paper Rosette using the Hot Pink Diamond from Ten Seconds Studio. I used the Damask Texture Fades folder to emboss the metal after I cut it out. And it worked great!

Layer up some Black Tulle and a Classic Accoutrement button....pretty simple and pretty cool.

Have a Great Day!

Just another day in Paradise

It's been a REALLY busy weekend. First the Morton HS Marching Band, under the direction of my son, Jeff Neavor, came home from Mt. Prospect with Grand Champion honors in their first appearance in a Chicagoland competition. Whoo Hoo!! I've never seen a more dedicated and talented group of wonderful young people and assistants, than these kids and adults. The Band Parents are 2nd to none!!!!! Congrats to EVERYONE!! So proud of you!


Then just as dad walked in the door at 1:51AM, Emma decided she wanted to take another ride in an ambulance from my house....long story short. Bronchial Croup. She's OK now as you can see, but she'd just had eye surgery under her eye Thurs. so we were unsure why she couldn't breath. A small necessity.

So I called her house, they were at mine in 2 minutes, on the phone to 911, who sent a policeman in 1 minute, and EMTs in 3. Mom's a nurse so she could assess the situation immediately. WHAT A GROUP of outstanding 1st responders!!! You could not ask for anything more. Really!

And then Em was bouncing off the walls for several hours on the steroids to help her breath better, and just fine. So after I got a few hours of sleep, I let mom and dad sleep, and we did "Awt Pwodjects". This is all her design to send a thank you card a day after World Card Making Day to the "911 people" who came to help her. I helped to color, she did all the designing.

These are all the cute stamps from Unity Stamps , Itty Bitty line, that I got in Minnesota. You've just got to smile when you see them. So stinkin' cute. These are the bookmarkers she made for her mom and sister. All Emma's design. She pretty much know exactly what she wants. A little bling, a flower her, a couple of punched out striped hearts there. Simple and direct. She is "very good at making pumpkins and butterflies" she told me, so of course, she added her work to the bookmarkers. (smile)

So, count your blessings, and kiss your kids. Thank your Nurses, Teachers, and Public Servants of all kinds. Send them a card of thanks, or make them a bookmark.

Be Well!
