Soldered Pendant GIVEAWAY!!!
Our super-talented January Guest Artist, Jennifer Stewart, has been generous enough to create this beautiful Soldered Pendant (featuring a vintage image and brooch from the Melissa Frances Vintage Postcard Kit) and GIVE IT AWAY to one of our lucky blog readers...all you have to do, is leave a comment below! We will select a winner next Wednesday, so don't forget to leave a comment below! We would like to thank Jennifer for sharing all of her beautiful projects with our readers this month!
I love soldering pendants, so I supersized this one to use as a lovely hanging decor piece. The glass is 2x3, double-sided, and holds two Melissa Frances vintage tiny photos, one on each side. I dangled the MF cameo charm and my own vintage chandelier crystal from the bottom. The pendant hangs on a vintage mother-of-pearl chain and a length of seam binding. Would be perfect hanging on a mirror or next to a window.

Camping in the Great Outdoors...
By Jennifer Stewart
Whenever I do a two-page layout, it almost always has a LOT of photos. This is where my simple style comes out! I like to focus on the photos and use several different patterned papers as filler and accents. I used a tree punch with several of the papers and made my own embellishments. The red seam binding is pleated, stapled, and adhered for just a shot of color.

Family Blocks...
by Jennifer Stewart
Here is a fun family tree made with 2" wooden blocks, topped with a tiny star cookie cutter! Fun way to use multiple photos and patterned papers together. I painted the tiny resin frames with vanilla paint and even added a few items from my vintage stash.

Snowy Winter Canvas (with lights)...
By Jennifer Stewart
I've always wanted to use a strand of white lights with a canvas project, so I was so excited to create this! I brushed on several different blue acrylic paints along with some white and silver, making a "spot" for the Let It Snow rub-on. When the paint is dry, I used an straight-edge knife to poke holes in the canvas for the Christmas lights. I also wanted the house to glow thru the lace curtains, so the house has a hole in the back, too. The snow is diamond dust and white gold glitter.
