Look...I Made A Shaker LO!

Some of you know what I do for a living...and unfortunately it isn't stay in my craft room and craft all day! :( 

I can't even put into words how thankful I am that I went ahead and purchased a DreamBox earlier this year (pictures at some point).  This has given me the ability to go home at the end of every work day (all 8 of 'em each week) and destress by making things.  My husband is really concerned about the amount of craft supplies I am going through happy to see me coping so well during this event!

That being said, between the blessing of still having a job (and I might add that I truly LOVE what I do) and having a place to be creative most nights, I will have plenty of catching up to do with my blog as we move forward with COVID-19. (I feel like I'm always saying I have plenty of catching up to do...)

Behold, I used the March Tres Jolie kit to make a LO with a shaker "box" on it.  Fun fact #1, I also glitter bombed my scrapbook room at least 6 times while I made this LO!  I was more of a challenge than I originally anticipated to make the shaker part! 

Here is the LO: (please don't remind me that I forgot to crop around the edges! 🤣🤣🤣)

I used the little glass ball that came with the kit and filled it with green glitter, but I knew from the day I got the kit that I wanted to play around with the clear pages and make some shakers.  Fun fact #2, green is my third favorite color and I had some glitter leftover from a card making party that matched this kit perfectly!

Below you can see the shaker in all most of its glory (turns out photographing shakers with designs on the acetate is a bit more of a challenge than one would think).

I took one of the resin frames that came with the kit and found a design on one of the clear sheets that I liked to create the frame and the "top" of the shaker.  The goodies inside are some more of the glitter that now decorates my floor four weeks after the fact (despite furry dogs and multiple floor cleanings), some green sequins and some flowers from the kit.  

There you have it!  Short and sweet!  I hope everyone is staying safe and sane out there!  Find the things that make you happy and be your best self!  Remember, we are all #InThisTogether!
