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!

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!

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
