Sparkle and Shine on the day before Christmas

Hi there! It's Romy here on the day before Christmas. I just love this time of the year and had some fun making a Christmas tag with my lovely vintage kit from Zeus & Zoe Etsy store. This tag is my example for the Sparkle & Shine challenge. You still have some time to play along for a chance to win a beautiful prize package. You can see all the details here. I have used glittered Webster's lace, glittered fussy cut hollies and a metallic button to add some sparkle to my tag. 

The papers, the music note paper, the Webster's lace and the vintage button were all part of my gorgeous Zeus & Zoe kit. Take a look in the Etsy store for some more gorgeous goodies. 

Have a very merry Christmas, you all! 

December Challenge - Shine and Sparkle

Hi everyone, Cathy here.  It's the 1st of the month which means a new challenge for Zeus and Zoe.  As Christmas is almost upon us I have decided on a Christmas Challenge...   Here are the details.

For this month's challenge I have made it very simple.  I would like to see a Christmas project with at least 3 elements that sparkle and shine… they can be 3 of the same type of elements or 3 different elements as long as you have at least 3 sparkle and shine elements on your creation.

This could be anything metallic and shiny… think recycled jewellery, gold or silver buttons, charms, foil paper metallic inks or embossing powders just to name a few... or sparkle and bling elements like glitter and rhinestones. 

All is Bright

Well I went a bit crazy the with sparkle and shine elements on my Christmas LO.  In my fabulous Zeus and Zoe vintage kit were some lovely glittered berries, silver foil doilies, flower button with a bling centre, silver pearl trim and an aqua crochet doily, which I used in my layered details.

Some of the other sparkle and shine items I used were glitter pattern paper, Glimmer mist, metal and crystal charms, aqua and gold acrylic flowers, Kaisercraft rhinestones and sparklets.
