G is for Glitter

I love glitters but it’s not my favorite craft. I hate cleaning the glittery dust after using it. I should have used the glitter glue in making this craft instead of the dust glitters. My bad I forgot to buy! Besides I do have my stocks of the glitter dust.

  It’s messy but still love the shining shimmering effect of the dust glitter.

 

E is for Embroidery

This is a mess! LOL... this is far from what I visualized. Well it’s been more or less fifteen years since the last time I embroidered. I’m using metallic thread for this project… and it’s difficult to handle the six strands of metallic thread which is not also good in the knitted cloth. Hope my excuses are accepted…. LOLz…

It’s supposed to be gold but it’s not available that’s why I’m using the brownish shade. Anyway I still love the “LOVE” embroidery.

B is for Box

B is supposed to be a bead heart project. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it because I went to the hospital last night to visit my aunt who was confined in the intensive care unit (ICU). Unfortunately she didn’t make it. She passed away this morning. May her soul rest in peace…. (P.S. please pray for her and her family…).

So, instead, I made this heart box for my Ey to Zee Valentine Craft Ideas. Actually there are many lovely heart box templates; I chose this because it’s the easiest even kids can do this. By the way, I got the template here.

A is for Accordion Heart Card

Yes A is for Accordion.

Surprise your crush with this accordion heart card expressing that “your heart expands when you see her”…. *wink*

The black metal heart is actually a buckle from my niece’s belt. It serves as a lock of the card. The lock means, “your heart is exclusive for her”

Grosgrain Sizzix Big Shot Machine Giveaway

O-la-la! I won’t let this opportunity slip on my hand. Grosgrain is announcing another giveaway, the Sizzix Big Shot Machine plus one free die of your choosing. The giveaway gave me an adrenalin rush to blog about it. I’m craft-a-holic you know! LOL….

This machine is really soooo great! I’ve seen in Grosgrain the prettily and neatly cut flowers for her Shoe Sugar Month. This Sizzix machine makes things a lot easier. You can cut several pieces of fabrics in one time cut. And it’s definitely perfectly done!

Grosgrain Shoe Sugar Month

I would really love to own the Sizzix machine especially now that I was inspired to craft. Thanks to Grosgrain who keeps my mind spinning what to craft! Grosgrain is truly an inspirational blog!

Why Ey to Zee?

I finally found the right title for my craft blog. I’ve been changing this twice. First is “Colour” but I find it boring. Then “Arts and Crafts by Marianne”, but since not all crafts featured here are handcrafted by me then “by Marianne” is so inappropriate. “Arts and Crafts” are widely used and I want something that is unique. I think of several blog titles such as Art Angel (which I cannot use because it’s a television program in one of the local networks), Craft Angel, Craft Fairy, I Heart Craft, Easy Craft Ideas, etc. But all seems so dull for me and over used.

Then one time I migrated my blog, Messages, at Wordpress just to taste what Wordpress is, and Used “Ey to Zee” as title. Which eventually I deleted after a week, you know I still love blogspot!

Then when I confirmed the deletion of my blog, it just pop up in mind why not used it for my craft blog!!! And so here I am with my new title “Ey to Zee”; as in A-Z Craft Ideas and “EyZee” as in Easy Craft Ideas.. Get it! LOL….

I personally design the header. Got the digital scrapbook Spring kit at freedigitalscrapbooking.com
