Craziness

I have finally come to realize that I just can not work on projects in a totally clean area. :-) My dh made the comment the other day that he can't believe I can work on my desk and like it. Now you have to remember that he is a computer guy so most of everything he does is on the computer. You should see his desk (maybe sometime I will have to take a picture of it) there is nothing out of place or even on his desk that should not be there. Let's just say there isn't much on his desk. Now my desk as you can see from the picture is almost always like this. Now the funny thing is that I know where everything is too...well I say that but for some reason I can not find my favorite pencil. I am guessing that one of the kids put it somewhere. My point is that I know for awhile after we moved I kept thinking to myself that I wanted a room that was totally organized and looked great when you walked in to the room. Now I have to admit to myself that most stuff will be in it's place but there will be craziness on my desk when I am working on projects!

I was just counting and if I counted correctly I have 5 different projects there right now. One is all the way done and just needs to be mailed off, one has not been started and all the others are about half way through but by tomorrow night all except for one should be done.

Shimmer!

Tonight I am going to post pictures of projects that I used shimmer on. It was fun to do some different things.

LOVE!

This project was done with a heart grungeboard. I mixed the Shimmerz with red ink and painted the heart. Then I took rub ons that I had laying around to decorate it. Now it is ready to use on a layout.

Tinkerbell Layout
I did this layout using a picture of the kids from Disney World. I am not sure if you can see it in the picture but in their hands is Tinkerbell. The kids love this picture! Sorry to say the paper piecing of tinkerbell is not one that I did. I have saved it from a swap I did over a year ago. Now it works perfectly on this layout. I added some Shimmerz to the ribbon edges, on top of the words, and also on the grunge board flourish.

Christmas Card
This is a sample of the Christmas card. As you can see I used lots of shimmer on the angel. Just made the angel stand out more.
Dance Layout

All the lettering in this layout has black glitter on it! My daughter loves this layout just because it is about her dancing and also because it has glitter on it. Don't all little girls love anything that sparkles!?







Angel Cards

I made a bunch of cards for my aunt who loves handmade cards. Now the angle in these were bought with the glitter and everything on them. The only "extra" glitter that I added was on the paper ribbon. I first inked the paper ribbon then added Shimmerz on top of it. It's subtle but works wonderful with the glitter already on the angels.
