PGCB #71: Sparkle & Shine

Hi! Happy 2015! The Paper Girls has its first challenge of the year up, and it is hosted by yours truly.  For the challenge, I want you to show us how you add sparkle and shine to your projects.

Here is my card:

I used AC Glitter Paper along with glitter star from the Becky Higgins/Heidi Swapp Glitter Value Pack to add the sparkly pop to my card.  The star background paper is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog (starting today!!!) by Stampin' Up, called Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (Item #138635).  It is white paper, with white resist stars.  I used a Metallic Gold Encore Pad (Item #132141) change the background from white to gold and make the stars "shine".  The stamp is from the Banner Blessings stamp set (Item #136720), also just released today by Stampin' Up.

I hope you will join in the challenge.  Make sure you link up your projects on the Paper Girl's site.

Cheers!
Kristy

PGCB: Red White & Blue Challenge

Hi!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  Ours has been busy since the kids got out of school, which is great, but it also means less time for crafting.  :-(  I was able to sneak away a little bit to create a page for The Paper Girls' Red, White & Blue challenge, using the Pansy 1 sketch from Scrapbook Steals and the wonderful Brenda Smith.

I took the red-white-blue color scheme pretty literally with my page, using only red, white and blue paper & glitter on my layout.  I love the patriotic feel of the page, and as much as glitter can be the bane of my existence, I love the extra sparkle it added to the page.

I promise, you will see me around more this summer.  Mama needs this sanity to keep her going.  ;-)

Cheers!
Kristy
