I Heart Macro 02/26/2012

With the help of my kiddos and my coworkers, for Christmas I bought myself a Vintaj special edition Sizzix BIGkick Machine at our local Hobby Lobby.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

I have wanted to try embossing for quite awhile, but wasn't comfortable with handling the necessary chemicals. Look what I made with this nifty machine (embossed leaf)!

Here's a collection of what I've made so far.

I'm joining Lori Plyler of Studio Waterstone for "I Heart Macro" slash "I Heart Close Ups: Up Close Photography for Macro Makers and the Camerologically Challenged". Please click on the link below to view photos by other participants, or to add your own macro photo.

Have a wonderfully creative week!

Last year I participated in Lori Anderson's blog hop for 7000 Bracelets for Hope, but this year I missed the deadline for the blog hop hosted by Erin Fickert-Rowland of Elysian Studios and Christine of One-Kiss Creations.

This is a wonderful campaign hosted by The Global Genes Project, to raise awareness and help show support for kids suffering from rare disease and disorders.

I found that I have an over abundance of blue beads and had a hard time choosing which to use, so this year I have three bracelets that I am donating to the campaign.

Blue pearls, Swarovski crystals and Vintaj brass findings.

Blue Agate beads, handmade focal, gun metal plated chain and findings

Blue faceted Lucite beads, silver plated charm, textured chain and findings

Have a wonderful week!
