On this weeks Charm Chat we share a wonderful new charm "Dreams of Paris"(item # 31630, $21). This Eiffel Tower is made of Gunmetal and is large at 2" tall.
Sometimes your dreams of Paris are just a little bigger than everyone else's. Clip this reminder on a pendant, key chain, or your purse to have a little joie de vivre everyday!

Project of the Month: Hybrid Scrapbooking

Here is a 12 x 12 scrapbook page I created in my online art studio 



  But I wanted to add 3-D pieces so I added a flower

and dimond-like bling.

Here is the final page



Happy Easter

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter!

Post-Bound Scrapbooks

One of the things I found frustrating as a traditional scrap-booker was in the area of post-bound albums.  I would be making a book for my kids and I would search for a book to hold my pages and I was disappointed by my choices.  I either had to pick one with a solid color or one with a generic pattern that anyone could buy and I wanted something unique that showcased the theme of my book.  For years I settled for those plain, unexciting books but now I no longer have to!  I can now create my own unique, one-of-a-kind book cover.  How ingenious is that?

In my digital art studio I can now create the cover of my dreams for my 12 x 12 post-bound cover.  It comes with ten 12x12 clear sleeves (I can buy more at Wal-mart, Target) and extenders to make the book as large as I want.  I can also slide my digital and traditional scrap-pages into my personalized book. 

Below is the book I made for a family trip we took to Washington D.C and New York City a few years ago.

Quarter Auction Fundraiser

Today My Creative Wingz had a table at the MOM's group Quarter Auction to raise money for a local charity; Pink Heart Pony Kids.  This non-profit organization specializes in equestrian therapy for children.  We felt so honored to donate our products for this worthy cause. 

Here are the photos of our three baskets we auctioned off.

This basket contained points for an 8x8 Storybook, photo frame, Free account, and 1-hour Free Design appointment.

This basket included a Keepsake Bracelet (holds 6 photos), photo frame, Free account and 1-hour Free Design appointment.

Our final basket held the points to create a Deck of Playing Cards, photo frame, Free account, and 1-hour Free Design appointment.

Thursday: Project Night

Hello All,

Thursday nights are project night at My Creative Wingz.  We all have busy lives and finding time to work on our projects it tough, so set aside Thursday nights and join us. 

Here is the 12x12 scrapbook page I made last night of our wonderful day in the snow.

You can share your projects with me on my Flicker account (it's free to set up).  MyCreativeWingz is my account name.
