I thought i might give a few more project ideas , as well as an FAQ video for those of you who already use Glimmer mists. I think these projects help show how versatile this product is and how you don’t only have to use it for scrapbooking. While making a Halloween wreath this year, Heather was having a difficult time finding fake black roses, so instead of doing with out, or spending way too much money on them, she bought some fake white roses and sprayed them with Raven Glimmer Mist and created her own black roses. This is just one idea of how glimmer mists can work for any project you might have!!
Just Smile! Another great basicgrey layout for todays blog. most of our pages seem to focus on the loves, and passions of other people. Why not take a day and create a page of your own wants, dreams, and the things that just make you smile! Sometimes that most fun pages to create are the ones about yourself! I love the flower accents! And the use of the small photos They are my new favorite page accessory! Enjoy everyone

How pretty is this layout!? The colors are gorgeous, and the photograph is just too cute!! I think that the colors go perfectly with the picture. They bring out the gorgeous leaves and the essence of fall. I also love the technique the designer used to cut out the flowers, and puting buttons on a few of the extra flowers.

Today I come with a Basicgrey two page layout! Christian is Heather’s youngest son, and the main subjet of this layout! Isn’t he just the cutest! He is in love with “dancing” around the house! Especially when hes excited!! So when its his birthday, we always make sure to have a video camera, and camera present!! Heather made this layout using Basic Grey and Bazzill Paper. She used the Obscure Basic Grey Line. She also used S.E.I Brads to accent plain spaces throughout the layout. . Its simple, cute, and uses that new paper you’ve had waiting for a project to come around!!!
This layout is super cute, and uses almost Making Memories supplies. It was fast and easy but turned out super cute! We used the GARDEN PARTY line from MAKING MEMORIES.
And Heres how to make it!
Adhere two photos to the top portion of artisan die-cut paper.
Punch large and small GROMMETS through the dots of paper. Use a black pen to outline the inside of the grommets. Then use the pen to journal in the grommets.
Adhere ½” x 12″ glitter dots paper on Page using staples.
Use tag curler to attach one epoxy curling tag to white eyelet lace. Adhere over glitter dots paper strip.
