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!

I recently had the chance to work with our new Home for the Holidays kit.  It comes with the gate fold album, Olive Vine, Cramel Apple and Brick glimmer mists, a regal Glimmer Screen and a box of Embossed Frosty Memories glimmer chips, among other things.

I decided that I wanted to create an album about our trip to Hershey Park last Christmas Season. I took the gate off of the album, layed on the screen and sprayed it with Olive Vine and Brick. Once it was dried, I highlighted the design with gold Stickles.

I punched two holes in the front of the album and created a closure with the ribbon. I added a wreath that was made with the greenery and added a glittered glimmer chip to the center, along with a tag with the album title.

Here’s a look at the inside of the album:

What I love about the Tattered Angels albums is that they come with so many pages. I figured out how many I needed and removed the rest.  The extras became tags that framed my photos. Each double page spread had two facing tags. This was the main design of my pages.

I painted the Glimmer Chips and added glitter to them. I also punched snowflakes from extra pages that I misted. I liked the negative look of the paper, so I used it here.

I also added gold glitter to the center of all of the snowflakes.

On this two page spread, I misted the Glimmer Screen and stamped with it.

And these are the last two pages.

That’s it! I had a lot of fun making this one. Be sure to check out the kits at the Tattered Angels site.  They’re 25% off!

Hi! Hope you’re having a great weekend.  I’ve been busy creating a few things to share with you. As you know, we’ve been having a Blog Relay with Graphic 45. I created a couple of projects using the Domestic Godess line.

This first one is a layout using an old photo I found of the mall in my hometown. I was flooded with memories when I saw it and knew I had to scrap them. I used one of the Garden Glimmer Screens and spritzed the paper with English Ivy to create a subtle pattern.

I used the Glimmer Glass snowflakes and created a funky flower by ading a punched paper flower and some stitching. I wanted to go for the 1970s look.

 My next project uses some Graphic 45 papers along with embossed cardstock. I spritzed both the card stock and the Glimmer Chip with Bronze Glimmer Mist. It gives it such a great shine!

My final project is a Christmas shadow box. This one has lots of Glimmer Chips.

I used an Embossed Swirl, that I sprayed with English Ivy and coated with glitter, to serve as a branch for the ornaments that I created.

These were made with the Tattered Traveler Pocket Watch framed fonts. I sprayed them with Vintage Pink and Peppermint Stick, then coated them with glitter. I added some Glimmer Glass snowflakes that were spritzed with English Ivy and melted a bit with a heat gun. This enabled me to shape them before I added them to the ornament.

 The paper on the inside was also spritzed with Irridescent Gold to give it even more shimmer and shine.

So, that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend! ~ Anabelle

I love making Tussy Mussies. They make such pretty home decor. I hang mine from door knobs, decorative hooks or even chair backs. Small tussy mussies can be used as holiday place cards, as well.

I created this fall themed one using some pretty patterned paper, decorative picks from the craft store, some Tattered Angels Glimmer Chips and Glimmer Mists and my Spellbinders Dies and Wizard machine.

First, I created the cone. Next, I sprayed the autumn pick with Black Cherry and Iridescent Gold sprays to have it coordinate with my paper even better.

Next, I created a little tag to add to the cone. I used my oval scalloped Spellbinder’s die.  I added a sticker and some Rouge Nature chips that had been spritzed with Harvest Orange.

Then, I made a little decoration to hang from the bottom of the cone. I used two Regal Font Frames that had been spritzed with Harvest Orange and adhered them back to back. I cut two scalloped circles with my Spellbinders dies and used foam adhesive to attach them together, laying them over the frames. Then, I embellished them with stickers and gems.

And there you have it! Thanks for stopping by. ~Anabelle

 I love the look of letterpressed cards and stationery. When I was thinking about my next steps  with my Glimmer Screens and Spellbinders Wizard machine, I decided to try and recreate this look. After several attempts, I figured out how to do it! And I LOVE the results.

First, spray a Glimmer Screen with Glimmer Mist. I made three cards. I used Haunted Shadow, Meadow Green and Jack O’Lantern to spray the screens.

Next, I carefully removed the screen from the scrap paper I’d sprayed it on, and layed it onto a clean paper.

Then, I carefully placed my cardstock onto the wet screen. You have to be careful not to move the paper around and cause a smear.

Finish the sandwich by adding the embossing mat and covering with the white plate. Run it through the Wizard and then peel off the Glimmer Screen. You’ll have a beautifully embossed, glimmery image that looks just like a letterpress!

It’s really hard to capture the shimmer and embossed look in a photo, but I think you can get a good idea from this shot.

Because I loved the design and colors of my embossed images, I decided on a simple card layout. I matted the images on black cardstock, sprayed some Halloween Calling Cards with Glimmer Mist (Indian Corn, Bronze and Lime Twist) and adhered them with foam adhesive. A few gems added just the right touch of bling.

And here’s a look at the set.

So, I hope you’ll give this fun technique a try! I’m sure you’ll agree that pairing Glimmer Mists, Glimmer Screens and the Spellbinders Wizard can produce some really great effects. Thanks for stopping by. ~Anabelle

 As you know, this month we are having our Spellbinders Blog Relay. We are using our Glimmer Screens and running them through our Wizard machines to come up with some great effects!

 I decided that I wanted to use the garden gate screen for today’s project. I ran it through the machine, cut it out and lightly brushed it with some black ink.

 Next, I got out my colored pencils and colored the images on the Bingo card. I spritzed it, along with the calling card, with Jack O’Lantern, Harvest Orange and Jack-O-Lantern Glimmer Mists. I added some glitter to the Halloween Checklist.

 Finally. I layered them all together with some patterned paepr and crystal swirls to create this Spooky Gift Bag.

 I finished with some ribbon on the handle and a little die cut tag. Now, all I have to do is decide who will get it!

 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! ~Anabelle

Now that it has finally started getting cooler, I’m getting in the mood for Fall. Visits to the pumpkin patch, planting mums and raking leaves are some of my favorite events of the season.

I decided that I wanted to create a special journal where I could save snippets of the season. Whether they are photos, ticket stubs, brochures or just journaling entries, all of my memories of Fall are going to be tucked into this journal.

I pulled out lots of Glimmer Mist colorsL Jack O Lantern, Candlelight, Indian Corn, Latter, Harvest Orange, Sunflower and English Ivy were all used on this project. The cover was sprayed with Glimmer Mist. Then, I rubbed a Versmark pad around the edges and onto the embossed surface.  I sprinkled on gold embossing powder, then used a tissue to wipe some of it off. I heat embossed it and created a distressed, embossed surface on the cover and edges of the journal.

Next, I added glitter to the Creme de Rouge leaves and a Regal Alpha frame. I spritzed them with several colors of Glimmer Mist to give them a mottled look. Finally, I layered some flowers and leaves together with them to create the cover of the journal.

Next, I sprayed several of the inside pages with Glimmer Mist. I also used some of the stamps byt spritzing them and stamping the image onto the pages. I left the pages blank for now so that I can fill them up as the season progresses.

Now, all I have to do is get out there and start creating memories. At least I know that once I do, I’ll have a sweet little place to record them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! ~Anabelle

I love taking the back to school photos and documenting all of the excitement of the first day. But, the early fall is another time that I like to take a minute and document the little things.  This page shows his favorite things right now. I journaled about everything from his love for Legoes and Webkinz to how he adores being snuggled and getting lots of tickles. It will be fun to look back and see exactly what he was like as he started school this year.

I used several shades of Glimmer Mist on here. To create the photo frame, I sprayed Key Lime on an old book page and layered it onto corrugated cardboard and some vintage sheet music. Then I wrapped it in twine.

I used a Glimmer Screen on the patterned paper and sprayed Timeless Lilac on that.

To create the title, I used Creme de Cocoa and Key Lime Pie on some Regal Alphas and layered the letters onto the frame. I used foam adhesive on the center letter.

Finally, I added some Glimmer Glass to accent the photo. I just love that big swirl!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! ~Anabelle

When I first began collecting Glimmer Mist, I stored all of my bottles on a small shelf  in my scraproom.  Well, my collection grew and grew and soon it was too big for my shelf! I kept them in a box on my floor for a few weeks, but, as you can imagine, that was quite a hassle. It took me forever to find the specific colors I was looking for and defiinitely was not aesthetically pleasing.

Finally, I’ve found a great way to store my Glimmer Mist bottles. Awhile ago, I read on Lisa Pace’s blog how she stored her paint by color in an over the door shoe holder. I created one of myown. Looking at it, not too long ago, I got the idea that I could add my Glimmer Mists right into the pockets with the paints. And that is exactly what I did.

Now, my mists are sorted by color and are SOOO easy to find. PLUS, I can grab paints that match them, as well. The clear pockets make them easy to find and having them in sight makes me reach for them all of the time

Speaking of Glimmer Mist, here’s a card that I made using the Creme de Rouge Glimmer Chips and some English Ivy, Candlelight, Sunflower, Latte and Indian Corn Glimmer Mists. I added glitter to the chips then sprayed them with several different colors. The cream cardstock in the background was sprayed with Bronze and gives the card another dimension of shimmer.

That’s it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day~ Anabelle
