Halloween Nail Art Made Easy...and Affordable!

Tweet

Hi Friends!

If you haven't heard, I now sell Jamberry Nails!
I am so excited for the amazing opportunity.
I have only been with them for 6 months and already have a team of 102 ladies under me!
Why is my team growing so quickly you ask?

Because everyone who tries Jamberry Nails, falls in love. I myself just signed up for the discount but from week one started making a very nice chunk of money and lots of new friends. It has been a blessing and has helped my family so much because of some recent job changes my dear hubby has gone through.

So thankful that I found Jamberry and thankful to have a job I love that I can work on MY schedule! 

OK enough of my gushing over Jamberry (I can't help myself)  On to the adorable Halloween nail wraps! Take a look at these cuties!

Click on any of the photos to go to my shop and directly to the Fashionably Festive category where you will find all of these wraps as well as other Fall , Winter, and holiday wraps.
Don't forget about our Buy 3 Get 1 FREE deal! :)

Just in case you have never heard of Jamberry Nails, they aren't fake nails. They are a very thin self-adhesive vinyl nail wrap that takes the place of polish. You can do stunning manis and pedis in your own home at a fraction of the cost that it would cost in a salon. 

Other pluses are ZERO dry time, and they last 2 weeks on your fingers and 6 weeks on your toes! Each sheet is only $15 and will do 2-3 manicures and 3-4 pedicures! 

That would cost hundreds in most salons!

To find out more about the Jamberry opportunity, click HERE.

The consultant kit is an awesome value even if you just sign up for the discount and kit product!
You get everything you see and more, including 3 more full sets of wraps that you get to choose!
As always, feel free to ask questions about the product or the Jamberry opportunity!

A "Candy" Apple For The Teacher ~ RRRR Halloween Challenge

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today is the start of a new challenge over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings!

It is HALLOWEEN!

I used lots of  Really Reasonable Ribbon's fun Halloween ribbons to decorate a candy apple that would be a perfect teacher or special goblin gift.

I paired it up with a tiny gift card that I printed off of my new "Autumn Friends" colored digi stamp and paper set.

The ribbons used are:

Black Grosgrain Dots

Halloween Boo! Grosgrain

Apple Swiss Dots Grosgrain

Squiggle Orange and Black Grosgrain

Squiggle Lime and Black Grosgrain

Here is a look at my "Autumn Friends" digi set with bonus Halloween treat bag tags that I used to make the little card.

It is available for instant download for just $4.00! 

Thanks so much for dropping by!

I hope you will head on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings blog to get a peek at the other girl's fun projects.

Why not join us and create a project of your own? You could win some beautiful ribbon! See details there when you visit. ;)

Hugs,

Treat Bags and My "Wednesday Wonder" Feature @ Lily Pad Cards

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I was very excited and honored when I was asked by Deborah Nolan and  Vicky Papaioannou  if they could interview me for their "Wednesday Wonder" feature on the Lily Pad Cards blog.

They are the creators of the super cool InLinkz tool that you will see on all of my posts from now on. Check out the product pictures at the ends of my posts. If you see a product you like, just click the link and it takes you there. Is that awesome or what?  :)

I didn't want them sending people my way and me not having something new for you to look at so I created some quick and easy treat bags with my "Autumn Friends" colored digi.

Click on the picture for a closer look! :)

 I actually created the labels in this set for just this purpose but they would look great on cards too. Just print them off, cut them out and attach to cello bags, tiny brown paper bags, pre-printed treat bags, tags for popcorn balls, quick cards...etc!
Wouldn't these be fun to send to school with the kiddos or hand out to the special little goblins that come to visit?

This is what the "Autumn Friends" colored digi looks like. It is available for instant download for just $4.00!

 Of course it is also available in the line art version if you would rather color it yourself. You will have to draw on your own jack-o-lantern carving though since it was a new addition when I created the colored set.
It can be yours via instant download for just $3.00.

I hope everyone who came from Lily Pad Cards will "follow" me and come back every now and then to see what I have been up to.
I also hope those of you who already follow me, will head over to Lily Pad Cards and check out their blog.
They asked some questions about things in my interview that you might not know about me. *wink*wink*
They have lots of fun features including tutorials, artist interviews, design team inspirations and challenges, just to name a few. Please tell 'em True sent ya!

Thanks to Lily Pad Cards for featuring me and thanks to all of you for dropping by today!

Hugs,
True :D

My Latest Digis Release, A New RRR Challenge and My Geust DT for Want2Scrap. :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I just love it when my crafty obligations all fall together like these did!

Today is digital release day over @ Clear Dollar Stamps, a new "Autumn" challenge starts @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings, and one of my Guest Designer spots over @ Want2Scrap!

I used my new "Pre-colored Autumn Friends" digi set that is available for instant download starting today!

 The designer papers come in the digi set and the cardstock is from Discount Card Stock. 

The fun bling is Want2Scrap's - White Pearl Beaded Square Nestabling that I colored with Copics.

(Thanks to Want2Scrap for all of the goodies you sent me to play with!)

The beautiful Apple Green Diamond Satin ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
All of my digi images and papers are printed on Discount Card Stock's - Simply Smooth White cardstock.

My "Pre-colored Autumn Friends" digi comes with the image in both "carved" and "non-carved" pumpkins, (2) sentiments, plus (3) 6"x6" designer papers and (3) ready to print squares that would be perfect for Halloween cards, gift tags, or treat bags or boxes. The set can be yours instantly for just $4.00!

This year for Halloween, we will be giving out tiny brown bags full of treats decorated with these little tags. How quick, easy and special is that? I think they would make adorable tags for popcorn balls wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon too!  :)

Of course, the non-colored version of "Autumn Friends" is still available for $3.00 if you would prefer to color it yourself.

This is actually the image that is on my Featured Designer spread of the September issue of CardMaker magazine. 

Here's that card again...

(I can't give the recipe for this one but you can find it on pages 12 and 13 of the Sept. CardMaker magazine)

The other digi that I have releasing today is called "Sentimental Quilt". It comes with a colored and non-colored image, (3) 6"x6"designer papers, and (4) sentiments. It's just $3.50 and available now for instant download!

 

Here is a fun little 4"x4" card that I whipped up with it in a matter of minutes with this set.

One of the cool things you can do with digis that you can't do with stamps is size them to fit whatever you need.

The beautiful Hand-dyed Moss Silk is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I hope you will head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings challenge blog and see what the other girls have created for your viewing pleasure! 

I also invite you to go check out the Want2Scrap blog and tell them True :D sent ya!

BTW...don't forget to head on over to the Clearly iStamp blog and see the other new releases and the awesome projects the girls have created with them!

Thanks and hugs,
