3 Microscopic Slide Pendants-#31, 32, 33 in a CADWCA series

Hi all my wonderful, crazy, hilarious, SWEET and lovely peeps in Bloggy Land.  I was crazy for the glass slide pendants when they all hit the stores and since I had done some stained glass a LONG time ago, I found my old soldering iron and supplies and have made quite a few. (SANTA, my iron is 30+ years old and this would be a Nice present.

I decided to make some Christmas ones for the Daughter and Myself.  I will share a secret..... get online and type in Microscopic Lab Slides.  These are what I use..CHEAP!!! I have a whole box of 200 for 7.96 and that was about 3 years ago.  But beware, these are thin and break easily, especially when you are burnishing the edges that have the copper foil on them.  Pop, Crack, Break...don't press down unless it's on a flat surface...and the hardest part is getting the jump ring on the top of the pendant for me.  A little trying in the patience department, but I love them once they are done. 

 Okay, here they are and if you have any questions, give me a ring on the email.

I printed off a vintage Santa, glittered him...of COURSE! Remember the saying?? "Glitter makes EVERYTHING, BETTER!!

Put on my words and used a Snowman punch and  inked letters spelling, "Snow" on the backs. 

Here they are all Foiled up with the Copper tape.  Sandwich your two Papers between 2 slides and squeeze really hard when your applying your copper tape.

Here the 3 are after Soldering and attached with a silver ball chain!

 Sorry for the glare..Santa are you listening?? This lady needs a new camera please!!!!

Many Blessings to all of you...

I'll be at the PARTIES, if you wanna find me today...

Good Evening Friends. I have a new saying today, and I believe it is as good as Martha Stewart's "It's a Good Thing." I am note saying, "Glitter Makes Everything Better!" (If someone is using this, has thought of this, has it on their blog, I apologize...I did not steal it.) It came to me as I was doing my projects.  I went a little Glitter Crazy!! I would put it on something and say, "Glitter Makes Everything Better!" to myself.  So here are the latetst in the series, Craft a Day While Colt's Away!

Craft a Day While Colt's Away (CADWCA) #2

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers!  Colt arrived in Baghdad last nite safely. Here is the #2 project, quickly done this morning.  Am heading out in about an hour for a 8 hour round trip to a Volleyball playoff game for our High School that my Daughter cheers for.  But as promised here it is.  (ONLY 363 more or so to go!)  It makes me laugh to think about it!  Love you all...

Started out with a Plain, White Canvas (3.47 for a pack of three then 40% off at Michaels.)

  I then Modpodged Limey Green Mulberry Paper onto the canvas.  I used an Eiffel Tower Image I got off the computer.  Then scrapbook paper for the Black and White, trimmed with Red Ribbon, stamped around the edge of frame with Love Amour stamp.  To finish added a crystal to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
