Bom Bom Bom!

I just love this mesh bling by the foot that I purchased from the Zibbet store Beady Bom Bom Creations .The store is filled with wonderful little goodies for crafting, the prices are awesomely affordable, and the service and inspiration that Elizabeth provides is phenomenal as shown here on her blog and You Tube channel .

I recently acquired a bagful of brand new photo projects at a thrift store in the form of key chains and compact mirrors. I had a blast with the key chains as one may have already seen in a previous post, but wanted something simple and elegant for the compacts. I immediately thought of the pink mesh bling that I acquired in hot pink. It looks so cute, I'm glad I have a bunch more because her shop is running out quick! So get it while its hot!

Instead of a tiny photo in the front, I used some scrap grey and white polka dotted paper, and a scrap piece of paper doily. I found a tiny sticker of a bee. I like bees  (I am often referred to as a busy little bee) even though I am allergic. This bee is safe, cute and tiny. Of course I had to put a tiny little flower in there with the bee behind the acrylic cover which makes it all look a little bigger. On the inside when opened is a picture of my fiancee. Amazing E-6000 (in tiny toothpick sized dabs) was used to hold down the mesh because of the opening and closing, it has to be functional as well as adorable.
