Pink Lady using BG Konnichiwa

Hello and Happy Friday! Emily here with a layout that I created using the Basic Grey Konnichiwa collection which you can find in the store. This collection is so versatile. That's the joy of double sided paper collections, IMO. I know there are a lot out there, but there are a small handful that give you a completely different look with each side. Some are similar. This collection is one that works on so many levels. I've made a lot of different things with this one! 

I made this layout using photos of my daughter from school. I wanted to repeat the photo in the lower half instead of using other photos. Not to mention, since it is a school photo, there weren't many options! But repetition in photos can be a fun technique to use when creating a layout. If you have never tried it, definitely try it sometime. :) 

Below are close ups of various parts of the layout. 

The fabric behind the photo of Serentiy is actually a part of a muslim bag that I recycled from work. We stamp on them and of course mistakes are made, so instead of throwing them away, I take them home and utilize them in my crafting endeavors! I used some Glimmer Mist and Shimmerz on the fabric to color it. I love how it turned out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Shimmer(z) Your Tags

Hi! Emily here, with a couple of tags to share using some awesome Shimmerz paints from the Happy N Scrappin' store. Currently all Shimmerz products are 25% off! 

This birthday tag I made by using various shades of Shimmerz in layers. I used my heat gun to dry each layer individually before adding the additional layers. For the initial layer I covered my entire tag, front and back with the chosen color. The next layers I did not fully cover the tag with. I used a dry paint brush to brush them on in various areas of the tag. 

The flower originally was a cream/brownish color. I changed the color by adding a couple of colors of Shimmerz paint. I love how it turned out... don't you love the shine?! 

This second tag was created using kraft cardstock, corrugated cardboard for the heart, Distress Ink, water, Shimmerz, a stamp and my sketch pen. 

Look at the lovely shimmer this tag has? It's a totally different look from the first tag! I love how you can use the same products for such very different looks! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
