Hi! This is Anabelle and I’m really excited to share a project I made for a friend who was recently engaged.  I had the chance to work with the Tattered Traveler album this month. I paired it with some lovely new colors and some products from the Timeless Romance line.

After watching the video with Heidi Swapp, I was inspired to use a lot of color saturation. I removed the pages from the ablum and started spritzing.

The three colors that I used throughout the album were Peppermint Stick, Coral Reef and Tutti Fruiti. (The last two are NEW colors!) For the cover, I sprayed all three and wiped them off with a paper towel to give the deep, smooth saturation of color.  I used one of the Regal glimmer screens to create the frame. I sprayed Peppermint stick onto the screen which was laying on my Glimmer Mat. Then, I removed the screen, leaving the reverse image and laid the white cardstock onto it. I love the effect it has. I added and True Romance Calling Card allong with some other embellishments. Note the key and my friends initials on the spine of the album.

I used the heart Glimmer Screen from the Timeless Romance set to create the image on the inside cover.  And I used the Regal Glimmer Screen as the background for their initials.

The rest of the pages allow her to add pictures and to write about her engagment and her fiance.

I sprayed some white flowers with the Glimmer Mist and stamped on some of them.

I used a Timeless Romance Calling Card on this page.

I’m so excited for my friend and hope she enjoys saving all of her memories in this album. Thanks for stopping by!

Ahhhhhhhhhh…. so nice to be back! Not that I really left but now  I can officially say how happy and honoured I am to have been invited by Tattered Angels to be one of the Golden Ambassadors! I guess that means I am officially a Glimmer Mist Addict and I am totally okay with that! Not only do I get to continue to share some Tattered Angels Goodness with my students as an Educator, I get to rejoin this uber talented team and share some more goodness with you here too…WOW! What a thrill!

So without further adieu, here we go!!!

With the holidays fast approaching I thought I would share some quick tags that you can create using your favourite Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, screens, stamps, Glimmer Chips and brand new Calling Cards.

I know that the free minutes between now and the big day are virtually non existent but I am hoping you can find at least a couple to try your hand at these quick and simple tags.

This first one was done by first stamping the fleurish stamp randomly over a regular tag. Spray with Olive Vine and Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mists and blot off excess. Apply a die cut felt tree (this one is by Prima) and embellish with self adhesive rhinestones. Tie some ribbon through the tag hole and cover knot with a large decorative crystal and VOILA! A very quick and simple tag is finished:)

Tag #2 was also stamped but sprayed with Caramel Apple Glimmer Mist. Attach a torn strip of paper (Graphic 45) and staple on some decorative trim and twine. Glimmer Mist and ink a pocket watch, secure a seasonal image to the backside and glue to front of the tag. Age some lace with! Glimmer Mist and attach that to the watch as well. And guess what… you are finished

Tag 3: Glimmer Mist the tag using Glimmer Screens as well so you can provide a bit of a contrast and pattern to the background. Spray and embossed Glimmer Chip (small oval frame from Regal collection). Secure vintage image to backside and attach to the front f the tag. Attach cut out images and quote, embellish with misted lace and again… you are FINISHED!

Those were easy, eh? Now onto a couple more that although involved a few more minutes, the end result is pretty superb!

This particular tag is a giant tag (about 4″X8″) so I had more room to play with. I stamped and sprayed the background and the crumpled the tag and dipped it in the remaining Glimmer Mist on my mat so it collected in the crevices. I also stamped and sprayed a mini file folder (7 gypsies)  and sprayed my Glimmer Alphas. Once they were dry, I added some ink and secured them over a decorative paper trim.

I have always loved the large embossed fleurish in the Regal Collection but this time I wanted a more defined pattern with the embossing so I ren it through the cuttlebug on a whim and look close and you will see the definition. I LOVED it! I added a bit of ink to further define the new embossed pattern and secured it to my tag with mini pop dots. I layers the file folder with a mini Calling Card and lovely fabric flower that was lightly misted too. I added some distressed lace and velvet ribbon and now can call this one finished too!

The final tag for you today involves another giant tag that was stamped and misted. I layered various Graphic 45 papers and even cut the Santa image in the frame from a sheet of paper too.

I cut many of the postage stamp images and layered them with the medium sized calling card. I finished it off with the “Merry Christmas” that was cut out from a patterned paper too. The entire piece was “wiped” with Glimmer Mist to further distress the tag.

So there you have it, 5 tags… just for YOU! Be sure to take some time this holiday season and make some time for you:) Take lots of photos, and remember the reason for the season. Don’t fret over the small things and cherish every single moment with you family! OH! And don’t forget to get all of your favourite goodies on your wish list for Santa before it is too late!

Happy Holidays!
