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.

And the "Classic Dates" Collection - in black, white and silver.
