Glitter and Shine with Just A Scrappin

Hope everyone is having a great week!

This week over at Just A Scrappin' they are challenging us to 

GLITTER AND SHINE

I LOVE this challenge! My mom calls me the glitter queen! If it sparkles, I want it!

I decided to go a little low key and try some new products I got back in May that happen to be shiney

So here is the main card I did

 

 I loved it so much I did 4 more!!!

 I started with cardstock that I cut starts from my cricut

 The white and purple stars are using Mudpuddles. Its like sand in glue! And there is of course glitter mixed in as well :) You just spread it on with a spatula.

 The silver and blue stars are using Melissa Frances glass glitter. When you use this make sure to use a thick glue like Beacons or ZipDry so this thick glitter has something to stick into.

 Once everything was try and I cut off all the excess Mudpuddles, this is what you get!

And some close ups of the other cards I did:

 Sweet and Simple Baby Boy

 Not sure what theme I want to make this one yet. I'm thinking birthday.

 I think I am going to add a guitar to this one a make it a rockin out card.

and I love this Christmas one. Happy Christmas in July!!!

I am off to Chicago this weekend for 3 days, then to Cedar Point for a  day so check back next week for lots of updates!!!

Make sure to check out Just A Scrappin and join me in this great challenge!!

Have a great week!

Baby Girl

My co-worker asked me to do a book for her daughter who is graduating this year. I have many pages to do from birth to graduation but we started with some of the big events to have done for her graduation party.

I wanted to do a birth page since that is where we all start. I had purchased this great Teresa Collins paper pack on one of the deal-a-day sites (I don't remember which one now). Pink really isn't my thing so I wasn't sure when I would be using this paper. But when I was going through my stash to see what I had, I thought Bingo! Perfect!

I used some white glitter paper to create the border. I cut 1/4 in strips and cut the corners to make them all fit around the page.

I used my new Stampin Up Banner punch for both banners and added some buttons and bling from my stash, along with Stone twine from the Twinery.

I borrowed some baby stamps from my mom and stamped them in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Pink Cheeks. I also used the Midnight Confession to ink other elements.

I have to say, even though pink may not be my thing, I absolutely LOVE this page!
