Funky Friday- Bomb Squad

Welcome to Funky Friday!! Are you ready for this one? This week, to get into the funk, me and my oldest daughter got together for a finger painting session...literally. I have no clue where I got this idea from, it kinda just popped into my head, but I decided I needed to stamp on

her nails!

First we put down a base coat metallic nail color and let it dry. Then using an eensie weensie stamp alphabet and stazon ink, we stamped out the words BOMB SQUAD on her nails, with a little Bombshell Stamps bomb (from the "Cherry Bomb" set) on her thumb in between the two words. Then we went back in with a tiny paintbrush and added green polish accents.The stazon comes off cleanly since it is sitting on polish and not nail (we tested it!!!!)

I hope you are able to see the pictures well, it was a little difficult getting all the nails in one shot where you could read them. And the stamping is not perfect, as evident on her bomb thumb, but it's really hard to roll a stamp on a fingernail without slipping! I think with some practice I could get really good at it. For now I think that this manicure is DA BOMB!

Funky Friday- Queen of Hearts Necklace

When I started this blog way back when, one of the first posts featured a necklace called "Queen of Arts". Well, for today's Funky Friday, I decided to make her sister, "Queen of Hearts". I started the same way as last time, with a scrapbooking frame and some broken jewelry pieces that I've saved. The image is from Kimberly Crick at The Enchanted Gallery.

This necklace was fairly quick and simple to make, and I am debating on whether to add more details to it, like dangly details off the chain, but I think for now it's a nice change from the usually VERY elaborate stuff that I do. Here's my Queen:

I've decided to finish my queen line of jewelry, so be on the lookout for more queenies coming soon. In the meantime, tomorrow is Sassy Saturday and I'll be featuring a blog from one of my comment contributors! Now I'm off to finish watching carpet installers...
