You Likey?



Yeppers, I cut my hair again and I'm happy I did. It feels awesome. I get to the point of not being able to stand longer hair after awhile, because I always just end up wearing it up or in a ponytail (oh the shame, it's usually a scrunchie...).

Here's this week's creation for the challenge over at Bringing It Back. We were supposed to make something with the old Making Memories Details collection metal frames and doo dads:



Now, my ornery old arss got a bit huffy at the thought of having to use a certain brand and item, so I almost did not do the challenge, but I sucked it up. And along with that goes the caveat: if it's the wrong item, tough stuff. LOLOL

I have no idea what collection that any of my stuff in my embellies drawers came from, much less the brand. But the frame I used is a Making Memories and the package said 2004, so hey, it's old.

I also used an aluminum charm I had, and I colored in the dots and ribbon with some red Stickles (which proves that, yes, Stickles can be applied to metals, in case you ever need to know that). Here is a close-up of the Stickles charm:



And, some notecards I literally threw together with odds and ends that I'd looked at for forever on my desk and finally used:



Well, today's a tough one for me, so better get a crackin'. Have a good one!

Yes, me likey! In fact, methinks I might have to do something similar. My hair is just outtahand at the mo.

Love your use of 'old' stuff. How cool did that stickles turn out!!

Cute haircut, amazed that you can cut your own. I'd have it so uneven if I tried to do mine. Of course, with today's styles no one would notice.
