Everything checked out wonderfully, the baby was a great size, all things looked normal, kicking like crazy, but when it came time to find out the sex......the baby was all about keeping it a secret.&amp;nbsp; First the umbilical cord was in the way, so it seems to be a girl, but it was just the cord.&amp;nbsp; The we got our first little glimpse and it looked to be a girl...the Dr even said 80% chance of being a girl.&amp;nbsp; I was not satisfied with that response, since this was one of the only times my husband could come to an ultrasound due to his deployment and I really wanted to share this with him.&amp;nbsp; So she had me stand up, wiggle around to get the baby to move to get a better view.&amp;nbsp; When we looked again the baby had her legs closed so again, not completely sure.&amp;nbsp; I have to give the doctor some credit, she really worked with us for about 15 minutes to get the best view we could.&amp;nbsp; We kept getting small glimpses and every time it looked more and more to be a girl, so in the end the doctor wrote on one of the ultrasound pictures "Dr. Palmer says it is a girl".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now jump ahead to today and I am 25 weeks and 4 days pregnant and we did a second scan......and it is definitely a girl, she was not shy at all about showing off who she is!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this layout I used the June sketch from &lt;a href="http://scrapwithv.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scrapbook Kits with a Difference&lt;/a&gt;

In the picture is Morgan's friend Madeline.&amp;nbsp; The two of them have been friends since they were in the two year old class at Christ Church School.&amp;nbsp; They have been inseparable since.&amp;nbsp;

One of the best places around Houston to take these pictures is in Chappel Hill, and low and behold Grandma Marty and Grandpa By live there!!&amp;nbsp; We always find a great little patch around their house and take a few quick pics one weekend when we are out there.&amp;nbsp; This year we did not get there early enough because the bluebonnets came out early and at their house they got few bluebonnets and a lot more indian paint brush flowers.&amp;nbsp; So this year is is more of an indian paint brush shot!!&amp;nbsp; So here are my boys in the Texas wildflowers in March of 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zrSYtYRe_GY/T5i6jgXIGPI/AAAAAAAAA8w/bUT-W-ZgCGc/s1600/april+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

One, for the Swirlydoo Round Robin challenge we have every month, two for &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/a&gt; and their rolled paper challenge starting April 27, and just to drop it in really early &lt;a href="http://scrapwithv.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scraps with V&lt;/a&gt; June inspiration challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the Frosted Designs Challenge I used a couple of different techniques for the rolled paper.&amp;nbsp; The first one was really easy, I used a pre-made flower that had rolled paper in the petals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VfxUYcdAgcA/T5i80HFScZI/AAAAAAAAA88/5xOidqLP-6o/s1600/april+008+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="297" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VfxUYcdAgcA/T5i80HFScZI/AAAAAAAAA88/5xOidqLP-6o/s400/april+008+-+Copy.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The second rolled paper technique I used was to wet and fold and squish the paper over around the edge giving it a rolled look.&amp;nbsp; If you wet the paper before you roll and squish it holds like glue when it dries!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTSyE82Sa6Q/T5i9j2y7cVI/AAAAAAAAA9E/u15-Zd1YvKA/s1600/april+008+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="132" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTSyE82Sa6Q/T5i9j2y7cVI/AAAAAAAAA9E/u15-Zd1YvKA/s400/april+008+-+Copy.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also tried a new technique for my chipboard letters.&amp;nbsp; I did not have the right color or shape, so I took some plain chipboard and paint distressed it to fit with the layout.&amp;nbsp; So here is a tutorial to show you how i did it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Distress Painted Chipboard Tutorial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;1) Supplies - chipboard, acrylic paint, paint brush, and ink (I used Distress ink, but any will work)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6dEHruCEElQ/T5i_2TBDRVI/AAAAAAAAA9M/mfLyQMCgIhk/s1600/1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6dEHruCEElQ/T5i_2TBDRVI/AAAAAAAAA9M/mfLyQMCgIhk/s320/1.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;2) Paint your chipboard your desired color - if you are painting over an existing color you might need more than one coat.&amp;nbsp; Let completely dry before any further steps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OUGE6t2c7Dc/T5i_3bm722I/AAAAAAAAA9U/wujfcuCV-Ag/s1600/2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3) Press your finger into the ink (I find brown inks work best) and make sure you have ink on your finger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vHsKWux1UE8/T5i_4ZG3-5I/AAAAAAAAA9c/q_DvvgY8oPI/s1600/3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We finally decided to build a platform out in the wood line but still visible from the house.&amp;nbsp; They could have a rope ladder, a rope swing, and other fun items to play on.&amp;nbsp; Over the last 3 months the clearing of all the underbrush, bugs, small tress and such has been taking place bu in Feb 2012 we finally broke ground and put in the 4 posts for the Tree Fort.&amp;nbsp; My son Morgan has been tickled pink about this whole process.&amp;nbsp; He spent days taking about all the things he could do and put onto the Fort.&amp;nbsp; He drew plans and talked non stop about the entire process.&amp;nbsp; Funny part was, when it came time to do the first part of building, he staying inside with Grandma and not outside (I think he felt he did not have enough to do and got bored).&amp;nbsp; Brandon on the other hand, stayed out almost the entire time watching and playing around, he loved it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I wanted to give her something that I made, but not just a card or a a mini book. So with this in mind I made a cute little wall hanging for her.&amp;nbsp; The picture is of my son Brandon when he was 18 months old, my mother took the picture.&amp;nbsp; The squares are 3 x 3 inches and holding them together is hemp string.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I played around with some mixed media Gellato paints from Faber Castelle that I got at a CKC convention class for the top square and some gesso and patterned paper for the middle square.&amp;nbsp; I did not put any pictures on on the back of the hanging, but you most certainly could and make it two sided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This project was made for &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/a&gt;

It was a really hot and sunny day for an outside wedding, but it was lots of fun.&amp;nbsp; Most of the Reed family was there so it was fun to see all the cousins play at the wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took this photo of the two of them and I just love it because you can see the profile of both of them.&amp;nbsp; How similar they look, and how cute and content they are sitting together, Daddy with his little boy, just "Two of a kind".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gve1v-OxDiU/T1BA4RSdQdI/AAAAAAAAA5s/Iu3J0hf0kHU/s1600/mar+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

kit.&amp;nbsp; This is one of 2 layouts that you can purchase the supplies for and create!!&amp;nbsp; Instructions and pictures included!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the balance of the white of the building in the background with the white on the page, and I played up the touch of blue and brown to go with the hints of blue and brown in the photo.&amp;nbsp; To help offset the "whitness" of the background cardstock, I splattered brown paint and also drew faux stitching around the photo and respective blue paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also created this layout for the &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/a&gt; Friday Challenge to use numbers.&amp;nbsp; I played with the subtitle of "two of a kind" and then I also added the date of "5/11".&amp;nbsp; Pop on over to &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/a&gt;

I hope you can pop over and play along with this great sketch this month!!&amp;nbsp; I turned the sketch to the side to help account for the picture being a horizontal picture instead of a vertical one.&amp;nbsp;

It does not have to be fancy, maybe something simple, but it is from me made by me.&amp;nbsp; For Valentines Day giving cards to my husband, kids, teachers, and close family is a must just to let them know how much they mean to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

That is where I learned how to make those cute little rose buds.&amp;nbsp; I can't share a tutorial for the buds since it is something I teach at Michaels and it would infringe on policies with the store.&amp;nbsp; I can tell you however the class is called Punched Card Tricks at Michales and all the cards you make in the class are super sweet, so go to your local Michaels and try out this great class!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This weeks challenge is to use ribbon or twine on your project.&amp;nbsp; I use the twine to wrap around my flower buds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also made this card with the inspiration picture posted at &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapwithv.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scraps with V&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the challenge for this month is to use the picture as your inspiration for you project.&amp;nbsp;

I was just dumbstruck that had never seen this before, and kicking myself of all the cards I had thrown away over the years that I wished I would have saved, but had no clue how to organize or keep them.&amp;nbsp; Just think of all those baby cards, wedding cards, anniversary cards, birthday cards, and Christmas cards - not saying you need to keep everything, but some moments we must treasure and keep!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This super easy and cute organizer is so simple - and you can make it any style, shape, size that suits your needs.&amp;nbsp; I made this cover for the &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; challenge o use a transparency on your project.&amp;nbsp; I hope you can head on over and take a look!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOxsdyLRNxs/TyGqDxQkhZI/AAAAAAAAA0c/fX6myPMFW6A/s1600/card+holder+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="303" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOxsdyLRNxs/TyGqDxQkhZI/AAAAAAAAA0c/fX6myPMFW6A/s320/card+holder+002.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Card Organizer Tutorial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;1) Supplies you need - chipboard (I save the inserts that are put into the packages when I order paper) or cardboard, paper, ribbon, embellishments, and hole punch .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Cut your chipboard to be just a bit larger that your cards.&amp;nbsp; If you have some really odd shaped cards or ones that will just not work, then there is no need to put them in your book unless you want to.&amp;nbsp; Cut both a front and a back section.&amp;nbsp; Mine measure 8 x 6 inches each.&amp;nbsp; Punch a hole in the top corner - this to to string your ribbon though, so be careful that you punch with the book to open and close the way you want it to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mt-Teaepb-4/TyGp9avYJNI/AAAAAAAAA0E/cM2MZAKSunA/s1600/card+book+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="236" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mt-Teaepb-4/TyGp9avYJNI/AAAAAAAAA0E/cM2MZAKSunA/s320/card+book+001.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Cover your front and back sections and decorate as your like.&amp;nbsp; This book is made for my son Morgan who just turned 6 years old.&amp;nbsp; He loves Star Wars, so that is the theme I used. I placed his name and the years the card are from.&amp;nbsp; You can cover both the inside and outside of the book, or just one side - all up to you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_psU9653BJQ/TyGp_jnClvI/AAAAAAAAA0M/8GL5yh1M2oA/s1600/card+book+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_psU9653BJQ/TyGp_jnClvI/AAAAAAAAA0M/8GL5yh1M2oA/s320/card+book+002.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Punch a hole in the top corner of each card your wish to go into your organizer.&amp;nbsp; The order is up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jN6Y-4yExbc/TyGqGXf_nlI/AAAAAAAAA0k/mg_aXf_PMgs/s1600/card+holder+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Make sure you can undo the knot in the future if you have more cards to insert, this can be an open ended book if you wish it to be.&amp;nbsp; Also be sure to keep enough slack in your knot so you can open the book to see the cards in it. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RC1RRsaxx1c/TyGqCbla7mI/AAAAAAAAA0U/klfajMPyyuw/s1600/card+book+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Maybe a fun little activity you can do for Valentines Day this year!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Erin R.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/68389539473734035-1235093010533376317?l=scraps-of-reflections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scraps-of-reflections.blogspot.com/feeds/1235093010533376317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scraps-of-reflections.blogspot.com/2012/01/card-organizer-frosted-designs-and-swv.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/68389539473734035/posts/default/1235093010533376317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/68389539473734035/posts/default/1235093010533376317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scraps-of-reflections.blogspot.com/2012/01/card-organizer-frosted-designs-and-swv.html' title='Card Organizer  ***Frosted Designs and SWV*** with tutorial'/><author><name>Erin Reed</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11666113803457407903</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nwO-3lAwwAU/THx5cHTzoJI/AAAAAAAAAC0/O--Rab5_Fx4/S220/10+Grandma+Marty+(15).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOxsdyLRNxs/TyGqDxQkhZI/AAAAAAAAA0c/fX6myPMFW6A/s72-c/card+holder+002.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68389539473734035.post-8942324075200408591</id><published>2012-01-19T12:46:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T12:52:03.800-06:00</updated><title type='text'>New Years ***SiT***</title><content type='html'>I am helping a friend make an album for her New Years Eve party from 2010-2011 and these are some of the fun pictures of everyone dancing.&amp;nbsp;

to use only Cardstock.&amp;nbsp; I hope you can come out and play too!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the outside blue border paper I used a stamp with black ink.&amp;nbsp; I also  used a mask and mist to create the swirl on the top right blue paper (it  does not show that well on this photo).&amp;nbsp; I also used distressing and  hand drawn swirls on the blue paper below the picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TW5j1bHio4w/TwvHk2MQa7I/AAAAAAAAAy8/d7fOMl_-Dd0/s1600/k+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I painted  them brown, then stamped them with a swirl stamp in black ink to give  the swirl effect on them, and lastly I used a crystal stickles to make  them shimmer.&amp;nbsp; I used the same technique on the chipboard below the  picture, but without the ink swirl effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Challenges:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bythecuteandgirly.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://bythecuteandgirly.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;/&amp;nbsp;

We started going when my oldest son was 2, and he has been every year since.&amp;nbsp; I have not always made the brunch due to being pregnant or having a new born.&amp;nbsp; The kids have a blast seeing Santa and eating fun brunch foods, and the parents enjoy being able to get Santa pictures without having to wait in horrible lines (Santa stays until everyone gets their turn).&amp;nbsp; The club is decorated just perfect, it is such a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Thanks for the great inspiration ladies!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Coloring your Bling Tutorial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Have you ever needed a specific  color of a pearl or crystal, and the ones you have just don't fit?&amp;nbsp; Here  is a quick and easy way to color your pearls and bling with markers!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;1) Supplies - pearls, crystals,  bling, gems, etc (white or clear)- Copic markers and/or Bic Mark Its in  the colors of your choice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qc9Ek228Y2Q/TvzUY2pSW2I/AAAAAAAAAxQ/YZy0RL0ctzQ/s1600/gems+004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="217" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qc9Ek228Y2Q/TvzUY2pSW2I/AAAAAAAAAxQ/YZy0RL0ctzQ/s320/gems+004.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Use your markers to color the pearls or gems.&amp;nbsp; I find it best to  color them on the plastic backing before I place it on my project.&amp;nbsp; When  using my Copic markers I use the brush end, it is easier to apply to  the gem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5rZvP4sW-Ec/TvzUZvn7bDI/AAAAAAAAAxY/9lPRB6iIm_4/s1600/gems+005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="236" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5rZvP4sW-Ec/TvzUZvn7bDI/AAAAAAAAAxY/9lPRB6iIm_4/s320/gems+005.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;3)  Let the ink set for a few seconds before touching it.&amp;nbsp; Both markers  work the same as they are both alcohol based inks.&amp;nbsp; Sharpies, crayola,  or other markers (especially washable) do not work, they just rub off.&amp;nbsp;  These are the only two markers I have found to stay on the bling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2E2iK5awf_A/TvzWKwisnoI/AAAAAAAAAyE/5o4OBxFioKM/s1600/gems+008.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="243" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2E2iK5awf_A/TvzWKwisnoI/AAAAAAAAAyE/5o4OBxFioKM/s320/gems+008.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Your colors are  only limited by your marker colors now.&amp;nbsp; Try blending two different  colors of markers.&amp;nbsp; You can even try and color gems and pearls that are  not clear to see what new colors you get, the possibilities are  endless!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ip2SKnmKJGo/Tvzcioc-ouI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/Wn-SwvEIRkI/s1600/june+1+2010+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="391" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ip2SKnmKJGo/Tvzcioc-ouI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/Wn-SwvEIRkI/s400/june+1+2010+010.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Head on over to &lt;a href="http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frosted Designs&lt;/a&gt;
