Happy New Year to everyone. I saw this little bit of glass trivia and thought it would make a good posting for the new year. It’s about Hook’s Tears, also known as Prince Rupert’s tears. Back in the 17th century glass workers, for amusement, made glass drops that could withstand a blow from a hammer but would completely shatter when its thin tail was snapped off. Go learn more about this at www.conciatore.org…I’m going to find a bucket and some hot glass to give this a try.

FREE “Home is Where the Heart Is” Scrapbook Die Cut
This lovely “Home is Where the Heart Is” die cut is perfect for so many different styles of layout. You can make it large to fill almost the entire page, like Nathalie did here, or make it smaller for a sweet page title. It’s also great for handmade cards or planner pages too. I really love how “home” is represented with a house shape and “heart” with a heart shape! Nathalie backed her dies with soft pastel pattern papers which is a nice contrast to the woodgrain background. She also included lots of florals and butterflies and notice how she used the heart shape to frame her photo, so cute and clever!
This die cut designed by Paige Evans can be used with your electronic die cutting machine and is FREE to download.
