Have you seen these awesome embellishments?
have you visited my2angels lately?
Tracy, the owner, doesn't appear to sleep, she just seems to create fantastic handmade embellishments over and over
have a look at what she has created in the my2angels journalling new collections
starting off with these awesome design (right up my alley!)
The "Basic Brights"
collection has a range of catchy sayings that will look great on any
layout or card. How perfect would they be as the centre of an
embellishment cluster? Or as the main feature on a card?
With the "Bright Splatters"
Collection, you will never be without a simple, personalised date
embellishment. We've got all the primary colours covered, with black for
all those other occasions.
Simply pop the date on a
bit of coordinating paper and attach to your bottle cap. Unfortunately
the glossy sealant that keeps the bottle cap in one piece can't be
written on directly - but it is child's play to add some sticker,
chipboard or metal numbers to finish it all off.
and ...
the Shabby Love - Collection
Each
embellishment contains an assortment of fabric roses, filigrees,
ribbons, muslin scraps and charms, together with a fabric tag.
How cute is this little butterfly charm and bead decorated bottle cap?
This flower and heart bottle cap is my pick of this collection.
How sweet is this one? I can see this on a Mother's Day card - can't you?
And the "Classic Dates" Collection - in black, white and silver.
Elegant flowers and sophisticated tulle make these bottle caps a stunning addition to any layout
Simple and elegant - so easy to pop over the corner of a photo.
Flowers and tulle - what more could you ask for?
Every layout deserves a bouquet of flowers.
and lastly,
Grunge "Charming Dates"
Embellished with chicken wire, charms, mesh, cogs and various grunge elements. Perfect for all those masculine, vintage or grunge layouts.
Grunge "Charming Dates"
Embellished with chicken wire, charms, mesh, cogs and various grunge elements. Perfect for all those masculine, vintage or grunge layouts.
and the
Floral Charming Dates
Embellished with sugar beads, pins, lace, fabric pearls and charms.
Delicate and sparkly, the sweetest adornment for all layouts girly and feminine.
I have been buying from my2angels for the past 4 and a half years & Tracy never fails to post my goodies the day of ordering (if before 11am). You won't get any better service, it rocks!
They are available here in the new section here my2angels Journalling
