Spectacular! Spectacular!

Vintage inspired papercrafts...those words alone are enough to make me swoon! But I am beside myself with glee to be a part of an amazing event called Spectacular! Spectacular! on October 23rd and 24th in Clarksville, TN. The event is being held at 125 Franklin Street in historic downtown Clarksville, the home of two of my favorite new stores: Hodgepodge and Artifacts.

The event kicks off Friday night at 5 pm with a vendor fair that includes workshops by Jenni Bowlin! Serendipity, along with Jenni and many other vendors will have booths featuring lots of vintage inspired crafty goodness!

Randy, Michelle, and I are teaching workshops at the event on Saturday. You can get all the details by clicking on the Spectacular website. Randy is teaching 2 silver soldering workshops, Michelle is offering a gorgeous collage on canvas class and a card class, and I am teaching the DREAM banner workshop and a Vagabond Vintage Junque Book!

We are thrilled to be a part of this event! Spaces are limited, so register soon!

Congratulations Michelle! Your free kit will be waiting for you on your next visit to Serendipity!

We still have a few of the August/September kits left, so don't miss out on all the fun projects you can create with this kit!

Michelle has created a pair of adorable cards using the kit elements. Hop on over to her blog for some crafty inspiration!

Blog Hop Giveaway!

It's time for another blog hop and one last chance to win our new papercrafting kit! The kit has been a big hit, and we have tons of gorgeous samples in the store. The photo above is a chipboard banner I created using the kit, and some extras like chandelier crystals. A photo simply cannot convey the amazing sparkle of vintage glass glitter! It absolutely dazzles the eye! To make the "DREAM" letters, I used 2 inch Heidi Swapp Chipboard alphabet. Simply put a thin coat of adhesive on the letters, dip in glitter, shake off the excess and allow to dry. The letters dry very quickly. I used Glass Tac glitter glue (soon to be available for purchase at Serendipity!) but some other options are Tombow Mono Multi, Tsukineko Glue Pads, or Art Institute Glitter Glue.

Now for the giveaway! Simply leave a comment on this post (only one per person please!) and next Friday we will choose a winner!
