Vintage2Glam is my idea of reusing vintage goodies, and turning them into something Glam. I love taking vintage finds, and make them modern with wonderful colors and a vintage twist..... love to incorporate them into my own vintage inspired art an accessories. Pleased to say that my jewelry was worn my Ellen Burstyn in the movie "GRETA" starring Ellen and Hillary Duff filmed in historical town of Ocean Grove N.J.

making cupcakes special........


wanted to make something special for my friend Suzi.....
                                    
she was having an Open House for her New Art Studio......I knew I wanted to make something and I know everyone loves cupcakes.......

her  name is Suzi Blu so the icing had to be Blue...and we all love pink so that was obvious.......

the sprinkles had to be red, pink, and  full of hearts.......

This is where I  had to get creative....so I copied images from her web site and printed them on card stock...(all her favorite paintings, doggie pictures, and logos) and hot glued them to wooden picks....

I think they came out so "sweet"...and so did all the students that came to the open house......

this was the supplies I used.....

what do you think????? Can't wait for my next special event.....

here they sit ready for  the students to have a little snack....it was an awesome day with a lot of new students for Suzi....Her Dad would have been so proud.....
