Bling, Bling, Bling!!

Hi my name is Joanne Trinidad...and I'm an embellishment whore. This is how I roll. I bought the jumbo bag of rhinestones from JoAnns and I spent many hours sorting out all the colors. I know, very tedious. I don't think I can ever get enough of rhinestones, bling, ice, whatever you call it. It just adds some sparkle and glitz to all my projects. I'm not a hoarder...I'll eventually use them...it's just nice to have them there just in case, you know? Have a great Tuesday!

8x8 Layout

As a design team member for Scrapping Lounge, we had to complete an 8x8 layout telling a little bit about ourselves. This is what I came up with. The papers I used were all Sassafras Lass. I'm a sucker for Prima flowers and rhinestones.




I'm really diggin' this new page format. I'm also an embellishment whore (sorry to offend), I love to see how much I can add without going overboard, lol.

Just finished this card today. I used an old card sketch from SketchThis. 2008 is basically over and one of my New Year's resolution for 2009 is to double my blog posts or even to exceed it. I didn't really get into posting 'til later in the year. So 84 postings for 2009 here I come! Anyways, hope everyone has a safe and FUN New Year's Eve!! Thanks to those who visit my blog, love all your comments and support. Talk to ya next year! ~Joanne

Finally Done!!

Well there it is. Wow this is the most I've ever posted in one day, geez. I'm on a roll, lol. Anyways, here's my last clipboard specially for Andrew. I tried to keep it as masculine as possible for a tween. I guess rhinestones would have been too much...well, j/k. Also here's the matching card.

Matching Card

I decided to create a card with the leftover scraps. Not really Christmas theme, but still cute, hehehe.
