Perfect Earrings for Fall


Took a little time to work on some new earrings.  I thought these would be perfect for the fall weather that we should be having.  Currently here in California we are under a heat wave, high 90’s so it is hard to believe that it is so close to the start of the holiday seasons.  I am looking forward to some fall weather.  The weather person on the news promises this will start next week, my fingers are crossed. 

These earrings have a gold tone etched leaf charms on gold-tone fishhook earring wires.  There is an opaque milky white bead followed by an orangeish/yellow oblong type glass bead, then the etched gold leaf charm.  

They measures about 2 1/2 inches long.  Perfect amount of sparkle and glimmer.  Great for day wear or night wear.

A Little Puzzling

Welcome back to Creations by Julie...

I know its been a long while since I have posted anything here.  We went through a major change in life and I feel like it is time that I get back to the things that I held so dear and the things that brought so much joy and calmness to my life. 

I thought I would start small with something that I dabbled in.  I picked up an inexpensive puzzle that had larger pieces at a yard sale.  I thought these would make cute scrapbook page decorations.

The first think I did was covered the puzzle piece with pretty paper.  I only decorated one side as with my idea of it being a scrapbook decoration, the other side would be stuck to the page. 

Next, I used soft sandpaper to even out the rounded edges of the puzzle piece.  I added the word Cherish and the small flower using rub-on's .  I tied a pretty satin pink ribbon to finish it off.

Here is the finished product:
