Fun With Dimensional Magic

Before I get started, I have to just say...

What is the DEAL, PHOTOBUCKET??
Seriously. 
UNEXPECTED "Maintenance"? Come on. For more than 24 hours?
Come on. 
 I pay for my images to come up and my blog to be pretty and my links to work.
You, according to monetary contract we have in effect,
 are to get these linked images up and visible to the Internet traffic, at large.
I get that this happens from time to time.
But this has gone on LONG enough!
Remember The Little Mermaid?
 When Sebastian and that DoDo Bird were trying to get Ariel and Eric to kiss?
And this DoDo Bird yells: NOTHINGS HAPPENING!
That is what I feel like!
A cross between Jerry Lee and Ethel Merman getting annoyed.
So. COME ON PHOTOBUCKET!

Ok. That was enough, for now.

So, yesterday I showed you the Chicago t-shirts my bestie, Hollie and I made for her girls.
Well, we also made a few pieces of jewelry for her girls and mother.
We used the Dimensional Magic from Modge Podge.

Her girls each got a necklace with the first letter of their names and matching earings.


Then, we also made a bracelet for Hollie's mom.


And we made a necklace and ring for Miss Hollie.


I like how they turned out.
VERY weird.
None of these used printed paper from a printer.
These were scrapbook papers and glitter. 
So, I ask you all again:
Anybody got any suggestions?

March Jewelry

You guys are going to get a few more St. Patty's Day crafts from me,
simply because we were all sick and I wasn't able to share them.

My mother and I both made some jewelry for St. Patrick's Day this year.
This Lucky Necklace, my mother should hide if she wants to keep it...
Cuz I LOVE this one!
And think she should give it to her child with the darkest hair :)

Then she made bracelets like this one for all of us, even lil' AuBrynne!

Then I made this little guy.
I made then scrapped and re-made this necklace a dozen times.
Then I was tinkering with some glass vase filler beads...
And what do you know? They fit into the little necklace piece I had!
So, I put those and some little Orange hotfix crystals in then some Dimensional Magic, and Voila!
I have a question for you crafty ladies to follow the pics



And one with this creepy ring holder...

So I need to ask you all a question about this Modge Podge Dimensional Magic stuff!
After a week or so, I am finding the Dimensional Magic goes cloudy, for lack of a better word.
It take on this blue-ish tone and is still pretty transparent, but NOT.
Does this make sense?
I have done some looking around, and have read that you have to use a sealer if you are using printed from your printer paper.  But I am having this happen on ALL my projects!
Which is really sad, because some of them were already given as gifts.
Anyways.
Does anybody have any tips on this issue?
Or causes, like: You have nannites in your house, Allie...
Or: Oh its simple chemistry, Allie...

Ok.  So help me out with this one, cuz, I think this stuff could be so FUN!

Lucky-Bits

Do you every start out the day and want to get back in bed?
Winter time in Chicago: if you look out the window in the morning, it is likely to be gray sky.
And you will want to crawl back into bed.
People get cranky and you can run into some unhappy souls in a day...
Sometimes, it can even make you feel a little bit Un-lucky.

So, it helps to have a little luck with you when you are out and about.
Some people carry lucky pennys...
I can never keep track of those -I end up spending them.

I decided to make a little bit of luck to set by the front door!


If you don't have some when you are leaving, you can grab one on your way out.


And how do I know they are lucky?
AuBrynne not only helped me make them,
She kissed each and every little bit!
How could her little Irish Kisses not be lucky?!

Tomorrow, I will show you how I made these little bits!

L-O-V-E Notes Board

Together, AuBrynne and I made a L-O-V-E Notes Board for her class room!
We want to help promote an atmosphere of acceptance in the classroom.

We got an old frame and painted it Pink.
Then we spray painted some chicken wire white and fitted it into the frame.
AuBrynne modge-podged one inch squares of lots of scrapbook papers onto cardboard letters.
After they dried, I cleaned them up with a file.
Then, we dressed our letters with bows, floral wire, gems and heart stickers.
I attached each letter to the chicken wire with floral wire.
AuBrynne modge-podged some glitter paper onto a piece of foam core board to fit into the frame.






Then we decoupaged some small clips with papers and added some plastic gems to others:

Then we put each students name onto a piece of decorative paper.

I really like this Love Notes Board!
Every time to teacher spots the kids doing something nice for each other,
she can help the child place their name on the board.
 Because I wanted to keep the anonymoty of the children in the class,
I didn't take pictures of it all in the class room, in action.
 But I did put a little Valentine on it before we took it over to her class.

Anyways, I hope it helps the kids be nice to each other...
