Bombshell Blog Hop

It's time for Bombshell's Hump Day Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Cheryl's blog, you're in the right place. If not be sure to go back to the Bombshell's Blog and start at the beginning. You don't want to miss anything.

So what was this month's challenge? Ring in the New. What's that mean? Create a project that is something you haven't tried before - a new technique, using a new product, a new style....anything new to you!

A few months ago I was browsing the tutorials on Bombshell's Forum. I came across one by Nicole aka Perky Nihilist about making pins using lenses from eyeglasses. She called them Bombshell Punk Pins. I knew I wanted to try them sometime and this challenge gave me the the perfect opportunity. So here are my Bombshell Punk Pins.


I used Lotus Garden and Bombshell Angel. They were easy and inexpensive to make. Just buy reading glasses from the Dollar Store and pop out the lenses!

Now hop over to Kelli's blog and see what how she's ringing in the new.
