Margot Potter
I recently hosted a Craft Wars party in honor of my friend and fellow ILOVETOCREATE Blogger Margot Potter and her hubby Drew in celebration of their appearance on the NEW TLC Show “Craft Wars”, created by our dear friends Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza. You can catch the show on Tuesday nights at 8:00 p.m. EST. Click her for programming info.
The Craft Wars Team
Rachele is a College Student studying Fashion Retail, Kim is a Professional Pet Photographer and High School English Teacher, Tess is a College Student studying Photography, Claire is a Teacher, Celia is a Physical Therapy Assistant, Jean is Co-Owner of La Belle Vie Salon, Arielle is a College Student studying to become a Teacher, Billybob our Furry Mascot and for those of you that don’t know I am the one with the Very Poofy Blonde hair and the glass of wine aka “Jewels”.
It all started with some Inspiring words, food and drink.
Then down to the Studio were we gathered some of my most favorite products from ILOVETOCREATE, Spellbinders & Artistic Wire. We also used feathers, straws and back scratchers that we found at the Dollar Store!
Kaileen’s Wire Wrapped Straw infused Back Scratcher. Totally Clever! I cant help but say “Phone Home”, LOL!
Of course Rachele stole my heart with these out of the box Jewel Stone Earrings embellished with Tulips Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals. She even made the ear wires out of Artistic Wire. Way to go Fashion Student!
Kim’s Zebra Inspired Jewel Goddess Journal adorned with Tulips Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals, adhered with Aleene’s Super Thick Tacky Glue
Celia’s Healing Jewel Goddess with Tulips Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals & Artistic Wire
Claire’s Jewel Goddess with Feathers, Tulip Fabric Markers, Tulips Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals & Artistic Wire
Tess and Jean’s Jewel Goddess collaboration using Tulip Fabric Markers, Tulip Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals, Artistic Wire, Feathers and yes a Straw!
Arielle’s Fabulously Wicked Jewel Goddess. Love how she created these branches using Tulips Fabric Markers and super love the Black Feather with Tulip Glam-It-Up PDA Crystals.
