Candice's new Charm Designs






Candice (my baby girl) is so handy with photoshop and graphic design. Don't know where she gets her talent from. I have been begging her to design some graphics for some soldered charms. Her free time is rare, as she juggles her jewelry design business, graphic card design orders, plus being a very involved mom of four very busy children. She fit mom in, and I wanted to share my new soldered charm designs she did for me. Can't wait to list them in my etsy shop.

New Soldered Box Charms




I have been working on some new Soldered Box Style Charms that I have used blingy charms inside the box. I really enjoy making these, and the possibilities are unlimited. My favorite is the "Key to My Heart" charm. There is something mysterious and symbolic about keys. I have always loved vintage keys, as it makes the mind imagine what does this key unlock. Symbolically, keys have been tied to unlocking the heart. Leave a comment, and tell me which is your favorite and why!

The Winner IS!

I was going to post the winner, first thing this morning, but had some unexpected company come down and stay the night. (A good, life long friend from Prescott) So I have been entertaining.
Now, down to business! I felt the fair thing to do would be to have my DH draw the name. Sooooooooo.......Drum roll please! LOL

The winner is PAM!

Thanks to everyone that commented, and for all the possitive, kind words. I wil do this again in the future, maybe with one of my boxes!

Pam, you mentioned 3 different charms, email me at sassiestyle@hotmail.com and I tell me which one you want and your address, so I can send you your charm!
Congrads!

New Soldered Box Charm Giveaway!






I love designing and trying something new, giving a little twist to something I have done before. All my stacked Box Charms, in the past, have been done with flat glass, sanwiched style. This time I desided to do some 3D style Box Charms with a new twist, adding Beveled glass to the front of the charm. I really Love the way they look. I think beveled glass gives such richness and depth to a charm. I Love these new designs, also!










My favorite is the cupid style angel with the leopard like butterfuly wings. Enter my free Charm give away, by leaving a comment on which charm is your favorite, and why! I will be announceing the winner on my blog!

Candice's Challenge!



My Baby Girl (who isn't much of a baby anymore) posted a challenge on her blog. Candice amazes me with her talent. When she was little, My best friend, Marcia, and I taught tole painting classes and ran a trunk/home show business with our creations. Candice swore, then, she would never be "crafty". She was my least interested, and she claimed, least artistically talented child. Now she blows me away. She has more talent with design than anyone I know (other than maybe Curt). LOL

Ok, got off the subject a little, THE Challenge! Make something handmade and creative with Animal Prints. It is so funny to me that animal prints are so in right now. How fashion changes. I can remember when anyone other than call girls, or cheep hussies wouldn't be caught dead in animal print anything. Now it is all the rage!







I have been having so much fun with my "Outrageous" over the top, boxes, I decided to design one with Leopard Print and Pink Boa Feathers. I think this is my Fave. so thanks for the challenge, sweetie! Can't wait to load it in my etsy store! (to see more pics, just click on the Shabbie Chic Home store link on the right)
