Hey Newbies,
I'm here working on number 13 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019 (and the lessons I learned). I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.
Today I did this 12 x 12 layout using one of my new HOT BUY pads from Michael's. If you don't know what a HOT BUY is let me tell you. Every quarter or so Michael puts these HOT BUYS on sale. They are 12 x 12 pads or pocket cards, or envelopes/cards and these items are nothing to sneeze about! They are the real deal! They are usually $19.99 but when they go on sale they are only $5 or buy one get 2 FREE!
So this layout I started off with one particular pad and then added scraps from an really old stash (I would say that was lesson #1 but that was a few blogs ago...ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SCRAPES)!
This pad is gorgeous! If you read my blogs you know I love shinny and this pad has it! You also know I hate fussy cutting but I will do it. One of the papers had the beautiful flower on it with gold accents and I knew I wanted to use it. I did some fussy cutting and it came out pretty good, but it took a while. That same page had a gold border around it so I cut the page in half and then cut the border out and used it as part of the backing of the page. The rest of the gold border I used around my photo as well as a gold foil card that came in the pad (I'm telling you...so much bling)! I used a 12 x 12 card stock from the other HOT BUY pad for the first layer, and then used a scrap of yellow to pull some of the gold accents on the page and yellow out of the picture. I found a black and gold polkadot card that matched my shirt (that was pretty awesome) and used to back the photo as well. The border came from a really old stash and I thought pulled it all together.
Now for the title. I saw a video on how to use glitter and your X-yron sticker machine (I have 2 and love them both)! I put the wording upside down and ran it through the X-yron and made the top of the word sticky. I dumped some gold glitter on top of it and BAM! Instant gold wording (and more bling)!
The last thing I did was use some Shimmerz Paints VIBEZ in GLORIOUS DAY...it has a sparkle to it and went perfectly with the gold accents on the paper! If you have never used Shimmerz products...I highly recommend them. There are a few different types that do different things to your layouts and you definitely have to know what they do before using them! Missy Whidden has a YOUTUBE video (click here) that goes over a few things about using the different ones. I'm still having a little bit of a learning curve on the whole splatters thing...some times it comes out great and other times...not so much (but that's for an upcoming blog...)
Thanks for following along on my journey of 365 scrapbook page challenge that I am doing, and reading about the lessons I'm learning along the way!

Happy Scrapping🤗
