Hoopla Collection | Glitz Design Summer CHA

I'm totally diggin' lime green right now, so this collection is one of my fav's~  The gorgeous cake and fun embellies are perfect for any celebration type layout.  I can't wait to mix and match all 3 of the new lines together!  It was really hard for me not to do it on these first layouts.  I love all the vibrant color!!!  and the Zebra Print....ah the Zebra Print :D  Luv it!  Don't forget to pop on over to the Glitz Blog and leave a comment for a chance to win this Fab Collection when it arrives in September!  ((Hugs)) Jeni

Love Nest Collection | CHA Summer Glitz Design

I don't usually feel I have to give explanations for things but see I have these straight shooting friends in my life that like to give me crap and send me emails about decisions I make, cause they know I pretty much suck at decisions and do all things on a whim :)......and quit all things on a whim.   Then actually change my mind back on a whim.....thing is even though I do that, I don't have regrets.  (for the most part) which could be one reason why my hair color changes frequently and why I don't have a tattoo..

Anyway, they think it's flippin hilarious that I told everyone that scrapbooking is stupid and that I'm done with it.  SO OVER it.....and now I have layouts popping up on my blog ;)........(typical me) but I really was just so burnt out that I thought I couldn't scrap another layout, but I lost my Sweet Grandma this month and while looking through old photos I started to remember why I used to scrap.   NOT because I had a deadline but because I wanted to preserve a memory.   However I don't feel like I did 12 years ago when I started.   Scrapbooking is not stupid, it's a great way to express yourself artistically, but I will never scrap like I used to.  I will preserve my memories through photographs in regular albums....not a popular idea these days, but it works for me.  I  will still scrap favorite photos for assignments when I want to play and be creative.  So long story short..... there will still be layouts on my blog every once in a while.   I gave up all my design team positions... everything but Glitz Design.  I love their products SO much, they design for funky gals like me, so they're stuck with me.  :P  .... I still love creating with Glitz and Shimmerz, and LOVE hangin out at scrappin' Girlfriends when I can, but  I'm selling everything else at my yard sale.   ;) If you live in Twin Falls, Friend Me or send me a message on Facebook it you want to know where and when.  ;)  (There will be lots)  So I hope that makes sense and if not oh well I'm sure I'll change my mind again, so it really doesn't matter anyway, right? ;)

If you've seen the new Glitz Collections for Summer you'll understand why I love them so much..... HOLY BEAUTIFULNESS .....today I'm sharing layouts from the Love Nest Collection.....

Aren't the funky pom pom's to DIE for?????  ((Hugs)) jeni

Easy Stamped Photo Corners | July Glitz Design Team Layouts

Glitz Design has some of THE COOLest Stamps out there.  I love distressing with them.  On this layout I used Green Ink on one of their Circle Stamps, then cut a slit to tuck the edge of my photo into for an instant photo "corner".  I love how you can see through them to line up the dot's perfectly.

supplies: Kismet Ledger K2860, distressing stamps, stickers and Glitzers.

As always I love mixing up paper in the collections.   Here I threw in some bright green from the Maya Collection with some Vintage Love paper.

supplies: Vintage Love Damask VL2358, Maya Stripe M2273 Vintage Love Rub Ons RO2549, and some Vintage Love Ephemera.  Thanks for stopping by!! ((hugs)) Jeni

Scrapbooking | Glitz Design Team Work

Glitz Design has some fabulous Sticker Sheets that I just adore! It's fun to use the journaling tags and frames for things other than journaling....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here I used cut strips from the Distressed Couture Journaling Tags #C2419 to frame two photos.  I also used two strip's to make an arrow.  :)

   
For this Layout I combined papers from 3 different Glitz Lines....(Maya, Kismet, and Vintage Love)

By combining paper collections, you really can create one of a kind looks that fit any subject!  Supplies: Maya Polka #M2297, Kismet Floral #K2235, Vintage Love Letters #VL2389, Distressed Courture Journaling #C2419

Canvas Wall Hanging | Shimmerz Pearlz Paints

I haven't created anything for, well....I think its been a couple months maybe...wow. Weird, but I just couldn't resist playing with the new Shimmerz Pealz Colors.  They are STUNNING!!!  Love how Shimmerz Paints don't take forever to dry so projects can be created quickly.   All of the color on this Canvas Wall Hanging are from the New Pearlz Colors and Vibez.   The Deep Rich Color of the Pearlz was so fun to work with!!!

I love the new colors "Green with Envy" and "Emerald Isle" especially on Metal.  It creates kind of a Petina look when mixed with "Espresso". 

11 Brand New Colors are available today....check out the Shimmerz Blog for a fun video of projects by the Shimmerz Design Team and be sure to join the Shimmerz Page on Facebook for New Colors Featured throughout the day. :)
