I'd get the SHADES OF BLUES DIMENSIONAL FLOWER STICKERS WITH RHINESTONES and some of the other floral embelishments. :)

The 1st Queen of Bling is an etsy shop that sells pretty much every accessory for scrapbooking and more! She offers gems, supplies, beads, stamps, rub-ons, and stickers of all sorts. I thought it would be great to do a review with her on a few of her products and how you can use them. 

 The 1st Queen of Bling sent me over a variety of rhinestones and gems.  I thought this was perfect because not only do I scrapbook but I also handmake a variety of items that I sell in my boutique!  One of the items I used the gems on was my handmade hanging memory/photo board.  I'm going to give you instructions on how to make your own, along with the final photo!

What you'll need :

* Gems/Rhinestones, Buttons, or Pushpins

* Canvas of your choice of size

* Fabric, around 3" longer on each side then your canvas

* Glue Gun

* Ribbon of choice

~ First start with your choice of fabric laid out flat, place your canvas, face-down in the center of fabric. 

Start with one side and take the fabric and fold it around to the back, glue it down securely.
Do this for all four sides of your canvas, you will have to pull the fabric tight to avoid wrinkles.
~ Next, lay out your ribbon across the fabric and canvas, and glue it down on the back side of the canvas. ( be sure to pull the ribbon tight like you did the fabric.  You want the ribbon to be tight enough for it to hold photos or notes in place)
repeat this with the rest of your ribbon, and then start from the other side, crossing them over.
*Remember, make sure it's tight and the same width apart from each other*
Choose a piece of ribbon or string for hanging your board.  Your going to glue it down to the back side of the canvas also.  Make sure it's even from the sides of the board
~ Now, with your choosen gems, hot glue them down to the ribbon ONLY, where it crosses with another piece. This is going to make a 'diamond shape'. Make sure you don't use to much glue!
~ After finishing attaching your gems you're going to fix the back of the board from showing all the glue and such.You can cut out a solid colored fabric and glue over the backside.  This is going to hide 'the mess' and seal it up.
~ That's it, you're finished!
