I bought the simply swanky soldering kit at impress a while back, and finally thought I would give it a whirl~ At least I have a base line I can follow now, and a class to look forward to. It is *not* as easy as I thought it would be~ and I am wondering if my tool is defective since it doesn't seem to maintain consistent heat.
I stamped the bird image (Lockhart stamps) onto the afternoon tea paper, and then stamped again on shimmery white and cut the body/wings out and adhered to the paper. The birds are colored in with copic G00 (*LOVE* that color!!) I used the "a" from typeset alpha on the flipside. I like it....but definitely want it smoother looking. more practice! And the jump ring....ugh! wow, that was a challenge!
Last night's Tip-A-Cop went really well. Huge turnout, lots of cool cars/vans, the K-9 was there, and I even got arrested and paraded through the restaurant. (My son cooked that up I am told) They then took a Polaroid of me bent over the squad car, cuffed for each of my kids......"show and tell" my son said. Pin It Now!

Love your pendant. I got one of those sets from CKC in Bellevue a couple of years ago. I've used it once! I'm not very patient through the learning process.
Funny to hear about your night out, it sounds like fun. I don't think my hubby department does that, but they should! :)

I think you did a GREAT job with these!! I tried it once, with the help of TexasGrammy, and it IS hard! I couldn't get it perfect (my first try, of course) so I tend to give up in frustration. I need to try again too, you've inspired me to dig my supplies out again this weekend!
These look FABULOUS! I've eyed that kit at Impress many times, but I'm scared!
