Whimsy and Sparkle: Create like a diva.

I. am. a. art. junkie.

I love to create and get messy.

Use the hands that God gave me to make something beautiful

Here are my top ten favorite tools and products

that let me create like a diva.

1. Acrylic Paint.

This cutie is by Ranger.

First off, I am just smitten with anything by Ranger.

All their product a such great quality.

This Acrylic paint is my fav. because it is super thick and creamy.

The pigments are so pure and vibrant.

My favorite color from this line is...
Classic Teal.

2. Ink.

I love making a ink mess when I'm creating.

This fun product is by Ranger under the Tim Holtz line.

He's another one of my favs.

The pigment is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

But again the colors are so vibrant.

They also make color coordinating acrylic paints, markers, and ink pads in the exact same color.

3. Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads

These perfect in pads let you add a little "wear n' teat" to any project.

There's like a hundred colors to pick from and the names are so fun.

Use them with a stamp or with the Tim Holtz applicator.

My go to's are...

Crushed Olive

Shabby Shutters

Vintage Photo

4. Stickles.

Oh Stickles!

Where do I even begin with this fab. product.

Who doesn't want a little glitz when they create?

This stuff is so glittery and sticks to almost anything.

It's been one of my favs since the beginning,

There is also Distress Stickles by Mr. Tim Holtz and ICE Stickles.

My favorites are...

Glam Pink

Waterfall

Icicle

Distress fav...

Scattered Straw

5. Glimmer Mist.

This spray is by Tattered Angels.

It's a quick way to add a hint of shimmer to whatever your creating.

I like it because it's not overpowering.

6. Glue.

Glue. is. essential.

Scrappy Glue by Heidi Swapp is my favorite.

It's really durable and holds pretty much everything together.

Glossy Accents is my other favorite

When I first discovered this little product I was obsessed.

I used it on everything!

It dries to a hard, clear, finish so you can put it on top of materials as well.

I've probably gone though five bottles of this stuff.

...I'm also a fan of just a old school glue stick.

Good for simple, lightweight projects and dirt cheap.

7. Tools.

Scissors, exacto knife, distressor, craft sheet and stapler.
