TRADE - May 20th at worktheme: "shimmer, sparkle & shine"

For this month's trade we decided on a theme as a group -- "shimmer, sparkle & shine."

The scanner went a little coo-coo trying to capture all of the foils and glitter. Hummm... maybe I should have taken photos so you could see the details better. Anywho, here they are!


Cards by me. Some cool paper that had foil and glitter printed on it with some embellishments.



Card by Lee. Not shimmer sparkle & shine, but a cool lazer cut-out.



Cards by Cathy. 3D glitter flowers.



Cards by Dayle. Clear plastic and spray-paint on board.



Cards by Ruth. Foil flowers. Debossed linework around flowers by hand.



Cards by Gayle. Illustrated owls with embossing.

Ok... this is the 3rd time that I've blogged about Pepsi. I suppose you can guess by now that Pepsi is my FAV pop since I was a wee-one. I guess it's because my mom always kept a liter in the fridge. And yes, I call it pop!

On Sunday as I was watching the "Celebrity Apprentice" I saw a new commercial for Pepsi Throwback.

Pepsi Throwback is made with sugar instead of the ultra-nasty High Fructose Corn Syrup. The design features an old-school Pepsi logo instead of the modern smiling circle that adorns current cans. For those with more extreme tastes, Mountain Dew Throwback will also be available, retro logo intact.



Check out the super cool psychedelic commercial.
