{You can't Judge a Book by it's Cover...... }


Happy Thursday Friends!!!  I am super excited to show you this super fun project that I created for my featured post over at 3 Girl Jam!!! I love using 3 Girl Jams Crinkle Ribbon!!  I wanted to ask who loves to stick their nose in a good book??  I know that I do!  What types of books do you enjoy? Ok... Ok besides Scrappy ones! LOL
For this project I used the Wine and Jewels Crinkle ribbon pack.  The color is London Blue. You can purchase this pack {HERE}


Here is my fun bookmark that I made.  I punched a hole in the top of the bookmark and crinkled the ribbon up along the middle of the bookmark to add a little dimension.



I hope that you enjoyed my project for today!!!

{Heart Necklace.... Angela Holt Designs and PK Glitz....


Heart Necklace
by Mandee Gillen AKA Scrappin Madge
First I would like to Thank Angela Holt Designs it has been a honor to be on Angelas DT and I would also like to Thank PK Glitz for being our sponsor this month! It has been great working with their product.
I started dabbling in jewelry marking.  Once you get started, (like anything else) prepare yourself for another crafty habit!  I was super excited to have the great Wonder Film on hand! Below you will follow me through the steps of making this jewelry piece.






I wanted to make my mom a Mother's Day Necklace and found  a large rectangle piece of jewelry in my stash along with this fun silver chain.  You can create anything with PK Glitz Wonder Film and Glitz Glitter!  I was thrilled, and I  love how it turned out. I think that my mom will too. Let's Get started and you can be the judge.


  • Find your jewelry pieces you are wanting to use (Rectangle pendant, small round circle pendant, and a silver chain)
  • Find a piece of pattern paper and cut it to size (I used black and pink pattern paper)
  • Cut a piece of Wonder Film and cut to the same size at the large pendant, place the pattern paper inside of the large pendant. 
  • Cut a small saying and use Wonder film to adhere to the black pattern paper.
  • Cut two shapes (I cut hearts) out of the Wonder Film and place on the black pattern paper.
  • Take the Spoon from PK Glitz and sprinkle the pink glitter onto the Wonder Film hearts, shake off any excess and use the brush and brush away the left over. Set this pendant aside.
  • Take a piece of Wonder Film and punch or cut the size of the other small pendant.
  • Using the spoon from PK Glitz sprinkle pink glitter onto the Wonder Film, shake off excess glitter and use the brush to brush away the excess. Set aside.

  • Using Glossy Accents fill in each pendant (it will look cloudy until it dries) allow to dry for several hours.
  • Attach the jump rings to the pendants and attach to the necklace.


This is the finished necklace....





You could give this necklace for a birthday, mother's day, get well or a Thank You gift.
