"Self-Adhesive" Makes Me Happy!

Maybe you need to be a crafter who has attempted to apply glue to the back of a tiny rhinestone or bead to understand the happiness found in the words, "self-adhesive". And it gets even better because there are a number of companies that specialize in these accents that can bring just the right amount of "bling" to a project.

Here is a layout where I put them to good use.

I hand cut the partial circle design and added self-adhesive half pearls to the design on that. I used a matching punch-out swirl for an accent and added red self-adhesive rhinestones to that. Isn't that just the perfect accent to a "girly" layout? A little hint: the lace/paper flower started out white, I applied ink from a Fluid Chalk stamp pad to it to make it a color that would match my layout a little better.

Some companies to look for for these are Mark Richards, Inc, Me & My Big Ideas, Darice and K&Co.

This cutie patootie is my nephew's little girl. They recently sent me a few photos of her and I knew I needed to use this one.
