The Bella Diaries of a crafty artist

After 45 minutes I finally arrive at Michael's, a huge craft store full of anything you could want.When I went in the store , to my surprise they had remodeled and moved everything around.Now what was supposed to be my in and out trip was going to take awhile , nothing was the same in there. By this time my eyes are glazed over by all the crafty goodness! I think I must have had glitter on my mind because everything I bought was glittery in some way, aqua glittered letters, 3 jars of glittered flowers in pale pink, white and copper. I couldn't decide on a color so I got all of them I liked. A bunch of glittery papers in different styles and I finally bought myself a new hot glue gun, if you seen the one I was using you'd probably laugh, it had so much glue all over it you could hardly see the glue gun and it was always dripping glue . I used it for the first time last night and it was nice, I made this...


I found this sweet little stationery box that was shaped like a book and the inside was hallow, so I decided to use it as a shadow box for one of my favorite things, a vintage doll. I covered the inside with a very pretty vintage buggy rental ledger paper and then topped it with a German glass glittered star along with dotted glitter tulle to create a curtain like effect. Then I added one of my pretty loose doll heads to this with angel feathers behind her with vintage ribbon and millinery flowers .


I am really happy with the way it turned out , A little paper and glue with creativity is all you need! Sorry about the flash, I think it's time for a new camera! Then it was off to the antique mall today and I came out with some pretty things! Like this darling bust , my friend Karla also found a pretty one not too long ago.
This is definalty going to be a keeper! So romantic and pretty, I also found several bags of white vintage millinery flowers , theres atleast 100 bundles ,I would love to share these with some one, so leave a comment and I will draw a winner on my next post to send some to!!!And look at this darling old photo of a brother and sister , there's no date or names on the back of the photo . I always wonder how these family heirlooms are lost and who they are ??
They are cute who ever they are !
