Happy Monday and New Designs!!!

First, I hope everyone's Monday is starting off on the right foot. I think the remaining days of the week are reflected by the first day. My weekend was filled with jewelry creations, stationary designing and lots of fun at the Grenada Day Festival in Brooklyn(photos coming soon). I am also preparing to add more photos to my Etsy shop (still in production) but here's a sneak peek. Enjoy and make sure to check back for updates.

JUST IN: Stylin' Knots Bracelets in SHOP

(Live it, Love it and Wear it)

I started designing these charm bracelets last year as wedding gifts and then created one for my boyfriend and I as gifts for each other.  While working on the 12 Days of Reflection project in December of 2011, I thought to myself, what inspires me… and why don’t I wear it! Live it… Embrace it… As it jingles on your arm, it brings on constant reminders and awareness. It’s light, adjustable and can be paired with just about any bangle or layers of chunky chain bracelets. 

Example of how I paired it up with other bracelets

Also, the colors are endless and can be customized for a tie dye or ombre effect. They are available on ETSY: Stylin' Knots Bracelets and Stylin' Knots Bracelets (Ombre & Tie Dye)

A variety of colors available

It’s Perfect for:
Giving a Workout buddy
Anniversaries
Children
Inspiration
Weddings
Fashionable

Possible Words:  Love, Light, Peace, Joy, Smile, and Creative, Crafty, Style, Bold, Natural, Sacred, Hope, Calm, Chic, Sweet, Strength and more….

Carnival Brag Book "Must Save" List!

So, I received a few emails with the orders for the Carnival Brag Book about how to put it together, what to add to it, and where to start. Well here's a look at a list I wrote up with some of the pieces you should collect to complete your book. 

When ever I travel to the Caribbean for Carnival or Festivals, I tend to collect pieces of the celebration to add to my scrapbook. Here's a look at some past pages I've designed!

Collected Ticket Stubs and Photos

Decorate pages with Jewels and markers pens

Jeweled up photos for dimensions and of course a  feather collected from a costume!

Trinidad Carnival Inspired Jewels: Yuma "Call of Duty"

So, usually around this time I'm posting all the Carnival designs I've created for my clients. However, this year I'm waiting for after Carnival to put together some photos of everyone in full mas regalia. I was given permission by one of my clients to go ahead and post their Carnival Monday earrings or I should a design close to it. Let's just say I added a lil this and that to the earring to give it a carnival vibe! She's playing in Yuma's "Call of Duty" which is a HOT design for the militant lovin' chica! Check out my SHOP  (on the right) for "You are a STAR" earrings, perfect for this costume!
Also, look out tomorrow for some "Love" inspired designs... Valentine's Day is right around the corner!
