Sparkle & Shine

 Okay, so do you ever just get into that creative groove, you know 
where you can finish like a ton of layouts because everything just falls into place
and it all works out just the way you pictured it in your head? well, I love this layout soo much
I couldn't wait any longer to show you!!!  
I have bling, glitter, layers, lots of ribbon, chipboard, 
and I LOVE  IT !!!

the white strips of paper I typed the definition of the words sparkle and shine.

 You can't see it very well, I tried sooo many shots to get the black glitter to show up in this pic, but no luck!
the word sparkle, sparkles (clever I know.  ha ha)  done with black glitter,  
I used black stickers -- ran out of A's (imagine that)
and made one with an upside down V and number 1. then used scrappy glue and black glitter.


the shine word is with chipboard letters from chatterbox 
that have a black on black swirl, the swirl is shiny of course.  (big cheesy smile)


 

Now, the flowers were a bit of a challenge. if I were to put a brad through it would be fine, but I had these really big yellow crystal stickers, but the flowers are four layers of petals and apparently i am too cheap to use up all my glue dots. So, here's a quick and easy solution-- I stapled them together then glued the paper circle to cover and gem on top! ta da you have a very layered flower on the cheap.


 the chipboard frame was just calling for some more bling, but any way I turned it, it hung over the frame.
well, if I stuck it down like that it would warp into the contour of the layers. so, I trimmed around and left some of the bling on the clear backing then the rest stuck on to the frame. It worked great!



 I love it when you leave comments, I miss you all so much!  
when you leave a comment, it makes me smile! and I feel like we are all still connected! Thanks!!!

Lots of Love,

My not so little Man

 So, when Logan was just a little guy it was so easy for me to scrapbook pages for him.  
The pages could be cute because he was so cute. 
But, if you call him cute now it is like an insult.  
Now, the pages have to be cool and awesome!  
not too many ribbons, 
watch your patterns (it better not even resemble anything with flowers). 
oh, and anything with metal is okay!


 This can be challenging, because we want to add embellishments!  
My go-to is ribbon and flowers, so with boys I have to be creative.
What do you think?
Do you have any suggestions for great boy pages?
Leave your comment and let us all know. 

Lots of Love,
