Happy 50th to my friend Melissa Frances! We're celebrating her life over on the Melissa Frances blog and what better way to celebrate than leaving your birthday wish for her and entering to win a fabulous prize package to boot!
Design Team members past and present along with friends of Melissa Frances have created special projects just for her...you'll not want to miss all of the beautiful things posted on the blog there as well.
I created a gift pouch using plenty of soft, shabby, and irresistible Melissa Frances products...my favorite at the moment being the resin cherub embellishments that I painted with Ballet Slipper and Catalina Mist Krylon paint and then aged and antiqued with Glimmer Mist...so fun to watch them transform.
To be eligible for the giveaway, you must post before 9AM PST on Tuesday, September 4th. On Sept. 4th a randomly selected winner will receive a goodie box full of $100 worth of gorgeous Melissa Frances products.
But, wait, that's not all. Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine has graciously offered to add a one year subscription to their publication to the lucky winner.
Happy Birthday Melissa! Thank you for all you do and best of luck to each of you!

So beautiful! Love all of the pieces but those cherubs are amazing. I would love to know a bit of detail on your process of painting and aging the cherubs. I have the Catalina mist paint and several glimmer mist. I love them. TFS!!!!!

happy birthday to a marvelously creative lady who has left her mark on millions of happy card makers. would so love to win a delicious bunch of her things....each thing is completely sigh-worthy. it's obvious that beauty lives in her soul and comes right out her fingertips. would love to connect with the muse that inspires her. i guess i'll just have to be satisfied to have her as my muse. and you. definitely you.
