Little Black Dress... Should Sparkle!

I have felt like I'm drowning, as of late. 
My kids, volunteering at school, church, Girl Scouts, sports, being a wife (lol) and mother...
So I texted my friend and she was in the same boat! 
So we started planning a Girls Night Out!
We will go out, have a driver pick us up (I know a family who owns a limo company - lol), eat a fancy dinner (w/out our kids), grab a pedi and then hit a fancy dessert.... maybe even go to a show or see comedy routine..... just in time to celebrate her birthday!!
 
We did stipulate that we had to dress up!!
(My inner fashionista is jumping up and down
in a pair of amazing shoes - lol)
I created this while playing with the card look that I create this week (click here for more info) and LOVE this look!!

 
Altering the color of the Glimmer Paper creates this black and silver looking dress!  Tie the sentiment in with Silver embossing powder and our heat gun for a sharp sentiment!
 EVERY Dress/Outfit should have accessories!!
I'm an accessory freak!!!!  So using my Real Red stamp pad to color this Vanilla Flower Trim/Rose (Spring Mini).  Accenting the bust with one of our bling/Rhinestones from the Basic Jewels adhesive backed Rhinestone sheet
(150 stones all w/ adhesive backs for $4.95 -
WOW!! - Idea Book & Catalog).
Here you can see the Silver Glimmer paper and the transformation the inking it with the
Black stamp pad and my Brayer
(see the video below on how to do this simple transformation). 
 
No matter the angle - this dress and card is soooo pretty! 
My new Ohhhhh card - lol...
The All Dressed Up Framelits Dies and Big Shot make your life easier while delivering a HUGE impact!!
Everyone should know that they are an original and special for just being who God made them!!  This pretty sentiment from the Vintage Verses FREE (but gone as Sale~A~Bration season is over) stamp set! 
The Silver on Black embossed card stock looks very rich!
A simple technique (that my kids call magic) heat embossing is a sure fire way to make an impression! - lol
 
The Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder has these stunning Textured Roses.  Running it through the Big Shot - these subtle but elegant background highlights the Rose on the Dress!!
 OK so I do NOT own a Sparkle Dress - to the amazement of everyone who knows me... lol... I do love my fashion...
but I do own a Beauty Pageant/Prom Dress in a beautiful Blue that is 1/2 sparkles - lol. 
 
I do think that everyone needs to feel fancy... from a great pair of shoes to a beautiful pedicure/manicure... a great hair cut to a fabulous outfit... the real sparkle is the person inside the embellishment of clothes or accessories...
 
I hope that YOU feel amazing - even in clothes with a hole or yoga pants - to a great dress.... the real beauty is the person inside!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
