Hey there!
Just jumping on the blog today to share a summer vacation layout with ya! I don't know about you, but I love to scrap with the seasons. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true. :) Last summer we went on a mini vacation to the city by the the bay.  I fell in love with it, and just like Tony Bennett sings, I left my heart in San Francisco.
I love our WOW powders, since our colors are so vibrant,  they go with just about anything you have, from any paper manufacturer.  For this layout, I used three colors:  California sunshine, bay area blue, and cable car red - all  in the Suzy West "By the Bay" collection.
I had some plain chipboard thickers from American Crafts, so I just rubbed them in my embossing ink, and then dumped on the powders, and Voila, custom made title that matches my layout perfectly!
Super duper easy! I started doing it on every layout, and became addicted.  ;)



See, this is evidence of my addiction...another layout, another perfect match.  For this "hello…

Hi Everybody!!!!
So has everyone recovered from the opening ceremonies?!!!!  Wow!  What a show!  It was spectacular!
Wishing luck to all the teams from all over the world!
Speaking of teams, we have the Glitter Girls up on the blog today! They have been up to their armpits in glitter, and have some yummy projects to feast your eyes on!
First up is Jen Matott!
Here is what she says about her amazing banner! "I created a mixed media banner using Basically Bare's Oh So Mini albums that were released this month.I love the different materials that they are made from and how the stamps and embossing powders work on them! I used many items to create this banner.
This cardboard piece was created with a brick template and VersaMark with WOW Embossing powders mixed and layered. I started with Cable Car Red and then layered Black Glint and some Copper. I then added the "Journey" Stamp and embossed with Bright White. The dots are Gelatos through a stencil and then dripped some Gelatos mixed wi…

Hello Friends! So happy to be back with another team post for Team Glitter Girls!
We have been having fun designing for CHA, and are super excited to share some new goodies we have made for you! Our team is scatterd across the states and even in France! We are into summer, and vacations, but have still been busy  blowing embossing powder here, there, and everywhere!
Hee hee hee :)
Lets begin with Amy Sotolongo! Here is what she has to say about her layout! "For this layout I knew I wanted a large red butterfly as the focal point,so I cut the butterfly on my Silhouette Cameo and then inked it up with embossing ink.
I used my Wow! Cable Car red embossing powder to emboss the butterfly red. I love the shiny effect of embossing cut out embellishments. If you have never tried embossing a die cut, you must run and try it!"



 Now we will head over to France, and see what Benedicte Raphalen has been doing!
She used the stamps to stamp her tag, and her pennant too,  I love the large patterns!  …

Hi Girls!  Well here we are again! Team Glitter Girls are back for another one of our team posts! So without further ado lets take a looksie at what we have up our sleeves!
Look at this awesome layout from Amy!
Lets see what she said about creating this layout.
"I love adding journaling on my layouts. For my introduction page of my London album I decided to write out all the fun places we visited and emboss them in Cable Car Red Embossing Powder. I wrote all the places out in pencil first and then went back with my Wow Embossing Pen and added the embossing ink over the pencil.
Next, I poured the embossing powder over the writing and then heated it with my heat gun.
One quick tip: Since a pen is not as saturated as an ink pad, heat from undeneath first to ensure the powder adheres well, then heat from above."
