Sweet 16 Birthday Party - Sparkle N Sprinkle new stamp set!

Howdy blogging buddies!
I am so happy to say that we have POWER again!
Wow- 36 hours without it, and we were ready for it to come back.

Of course, it came back on the exact second that I unboxed the
brand new, really expensive, non-returnable generator that I had just bought!
Thank you very much!

Today I want to share a project that I made using some fabulous
Sparkle N Sprinkle products including the new stamp set Geraniums

I have used MME papers - I am so totally in love with these two lines!
I also used Prima, Sizzix, EK Success, Tsukineko, Spellbinders, Stampin' Up,
and some random chipboard from my stash.

To coat my chipboard I used a new product from Sparkle N Sprinkle - Magic Speckle.
You can see my tutorial on it here. 

For the edge of my doily I used SNS Brushable Glue and Celestial Glitter

I cut the leaf branches from a Sticker Sheet and then burnished my glitter on.
For the chipboard flowers I painted them then added Cloud Nine Glitter while wet.

Here is a close up of the chipboard with Magic Speckle.

For mu journal spot, I cut with a Spellbinders Label die, then used a complimentary 
ink to stamp my background images. I stamped my sentiment in black next.


To see a list of all supplies used and detailed instructions
please see my Sparkle N Sprinkle Gallery. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Are you done with your Christmas Decorating? 
I am covered in glitter- it is everywhere in the house!

I will post a couple of photos tomorrow with some of my
decor. It is taking me forever this year.

May the Flamingos be with you!

Christmas Layout - SNS

Hi everyone in blogland! 
Are you counting the days until the Black Friday sales? 
I am so happy to report that I am finished with my Christmas shopping!
It is a lot easier now that the kids are grown, I admit. 

I am not a chronological scrapbooker, I scrap whatever photo I feel like picking up.
So these days I am working on some very old photos from when my girls were very little!
 
My papers for this project are from Bo Bunny. 
I also used some Maya Road, Spellbinders, EK Success punch, Prima, and a
bunch of stuff from my stash.

I used my Cricut E2 and Sticker paper to create this embellishment, then burnished with Sonic Silver GL.
My flowers were accented by coating with Brushable Glue and Crystal Ice GL.

 
The chipboard pieces were painted with white acrylic, while wet I sprinkled with Starfire GL.

These small roses, and the others like them on my project are from I Am Roses
they have some awesome flowers!


 For this photo frame and the red punched border along the bottom of the page, I applied Tear-ific-Tape to my cardstock, die cut the image, removed the backing paper and then burnished with my glitter.
Easy peasy! For complete instructions on the project, see my gallery 

I am linking up at the following challenges;
4 Crafty Chics - Snowflakes
 I Am Roses - 2 flowers (the red and white small roses)

Thanks so much for stopping by today to visit!
Have a wonderful week and a fabulous Thanksgiving next week!

Dream - Sparkle N Sprinkle and Cranberry ramblings

Good morning fellow bloggers!
Who can believe that we are only a couple of weeks away from
Thanksgiving??? Not me for sure. I have not even
bought a Turkey!! I need to get on that.
And some cranberries. I need some cranberries. I checked my freezer and
I am down to one lonely bag of cranberries.
I LOVE CRANBERRIES. 
I eat them all year long. Muffins, Tarts. Scones. mmmmmm, cranberries.
So I always buy a whole case of them in the fall and
freeze them. Does anyone want a fabulous recipe for cranberry
sauce? Not the jelly stuff, but wonderful whole
cranberries with orange? Here you go;

The best Cranberry Sauce ever, I promise
1 lb fresh cranberries

1 fresh orange
1 cup sugar

Wash the cranberries and pick out any bad ones.
Peel the orange, then separate the sections. You want to cut the little pieces
of membrane off each section as best you can.
Chop the orange sections and put them along with any juice in a medium
sized heavy pan. Add the berries and the sugar.
Put over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Turn the heat up to med high, keep cooking until the whole thing
starts to boil and the berries pop open. Boil for 1-2 more minutes, stirring.
You don't need every berry to pop open, so don't stress over it!
I let it cool a few minutes in the pan, then pour it into my serving dish.
It will thicken up as it cools down.Keep it in the fridge.
This is also great poured over brie or creamed cheese.
It will keep for WEEKS in a glass jar in the fridge. Just saying.

Ok, so who wants to see my layout now :)
Or should we just go get lunch. Who is hungry?

My paper is Graphic 45, I used Flourishes Two stamp set for my background stamping around the photo.
To get the lovely layer of sparkle around my photo I applied 1/2" Tear-ific-Tape to my mat, then burnished it with Moon Rise Tinsel Glitter. For the flowers I applied 2 1/2" Tear-ific-Tape to my cardstock then cut with a Sizzix die. I applied different glitters for the top and bottom layers.
For the lattice piece here and the title, I die cut Sticker paper using my Cricut E2, removed the paper backing and applied my glitter. The chipboard stars were heat embossed with Velvet Sparkle EP.
Here is a closer look at the stamping. I used VersaMark and EP then heat embossed. The butterfly was made using the same technique as the flowers.

Here are a list of my supplies:

Sparkle - My first post as a Glitter Girl :o)

Hi everyone,  today is my first post as part of the Glitter Team for Sparkle n Sprinkle!
 I want to share a layout I made using my fabulous Embossing Powders and Glitters from SNS.
I am all about the sparkle! The more the merrier in my opinion.

I always start my layouts by choosing my photos. In this case I had a black and white photo of The Hubs and DD2 from her Debutante Ball. Of course I needed some beautiful color in the rest of my layout to make the black and white stand out.
Here is a look at my layout,,,
I love these papers and I thought they were perfect for this layout. My daughter is quite the girly girl and these papers are just like her! I used lots of fussy cutting, layers, glitter and flowers to accent.
For my background on the white doily I used several colors of Faber-Castell® Gelatos®, applied
then directly to the paper then blended with water. I also used a stencil and modeling
paste, then colored the textured part with Gelatos®
To get this look I fussy cut the flower spray from patterned paper, then used my Quickie Glue Pen and Cyclamen Glitter to add the accents and depth. On the edge of the punched border I used the same technique and Spring Willow Glitter for a little extra color.
I used the same technique here to add my glitter.
For my title I used a chippie from Fab Scraps. I covered it first with Mediterranean Embossing Powder and then I used my Quickie Glue Pen and Priceless Peacock Glitter on the stars.
To accent the corners of my photo I used more chippies from Fab Scraps and Black Embossing powder. To finish off my layout I added some bling, some pearls, some flowers and some sewing. I uses White StazOn 
for the stamping on my photo to really make it stand out.

This was the most magical time for my DD2 - she has waited years for her turn to be a Debutante-
it's a huge southern thing, we are all about big dresses and parties!
Girls actually have a "Deb Year" and ours lasted 15 months! I ended up making
4 scrapbooks to cover everything.
