Shimmerz Product Spotlight: Concrete Spritz

One of the great things about Shimmerz products is the never ending selection of awesome neutral colors to pick from. Concrete Spritz is one of said products. It has a great light grey tint to it, with a lovely burst of silver shimmer. We think it is pretty amazing and wanted to share WHY with you!
Check it out:




See! Pretty awesome, isn't it! Pair Concrete Spritz with Chickadee or Plum Pudding to create eye catching color combos that are so hot right now:

Shimmerz Product Spotlight: Vertigre

Welcome a new feature to the Shimmerz Blog...The Shimmerz Product Spotlight. We think we have some pretty amazing products. A biased opinion perhaps, but we want to help keep our customers informed! It can be difficult to fully see the amazing color and shimmer that our products have via online and sometimes the product image can be deceiving. So here is a color that is often overlooked but totally deserves the spotlight: Shimmerz Vibez Vertigre! Rich, lustrous and coppery, this color will put the ooh-la-la into your next project! Chock full of the intensity that our Vibez products are known for, this color can stand on its own or blend seamlessly with any of our 15 other Vibez colors. Our other metallic based colors Rolling in the Hay and Penny Pincher are perfect partners as well!

Haven't tried our products yet? Please visit our website for a list of online retailers or to visit our online retail store.

Big Announcement

Hey Ladies, today is a very exciting day for me. I am so excited, and honored to announce I am one of the newest members of the My Little Shoebox Design Team. The new team is being revealed today on the MLS blog so please stop by and check out all the gals and become a follower of their blogs and the MLS blog if you aren't already :)

Here are one of my layouts completed for the call. I am so excited I can't wait to create more yummy projects (jumping up and down!!!)

Shimmerz is so Delovely

Have you ever had an embellishment or a set of papers that you have held onto forever, and you keep saying to yourself "I am gonna use this one day"? Well, I have had these super cute felt flowers for over 2 years now. When I was asked to complete some pages for my local scrappy store "Scrappers Boutique" using the new Cosmo Cricket Delovely line I thought hey these flowers are perfect for this collection.

I spritz the white cardstock using "Razzle Dazzle Berry" Vibez and a few circles I cut using my die cut machine. I used the circles to create a circled background, and by only spraying my spritz once it created a very suble shadow. Which was perfect for my layout. Once all the paper layers, and embellishments were applied to my layout I used Blingz in "Pixie Dust" and brushed it onto various parts of each flower. I love the way it looks like sugar, and makes this layout that much sweeter.











I hope this inspires you to get out those old embellishments and let your Shimmerz products give them new life and meaning to your projects. Happy Scrapping ladies!!

My handsome boy

This is my goodlooking son Jeremiah. I had so much fun creating this boy layout. Now that Jeremiah is on summer break I have got to stock up on photos of him to scrap. I good friend edited this photos for me. Thanks a million!!

The products are from the May Studio Calico kit. And colors are inspired by Color Combos Galore.

The men of our home

Hello ladies, I am loving SamRock Pearlz. So much I have already finished my first pot. Refill please!! :)

On this project I sprayed Licorice on my white background paper, and on my yellow border of the house to help tone down the colors.
I used some white scraps and punched a border for the roof of the house and painted it with SamRock to give a fun, unique look. I distressed it a bit using "This Studs 4 U" Pearlz
I spiced up a white Prima flower using "Sunny Side Up" pearlz. After embellishing my layout I added some fun coats of SamRock to my American Craft Thickers, and my Dear Lizzy tree. I love the depth, and shine it created. I hope this inspires you to add some shine to an unusal embellishment using Pearlz.

Happy Scrapping!!

Scrappers Boutique

I know you always see me blog about Scrappers Boutique in North Richland Hills Tx. It's because she has some of the best product out there and keeps the selection fresh and the store inspiring. Here are few layouts created using some of the scrappy goodness in the store.






Ring me up... LOL!!!








This is a two pager using Basic Grey's Cappella, this is a kit club that I will be teaching the techniques used here on.











Here's a fun layout I forgot to upload.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #106

Happy Holiday to all you ladies. I hope you all have a safe and happy time with family and friends. We are cooking and entertaining family this weekend. With lots of food and fun. Crab legs, shrimp, and tons of sides.

This is my final layout for Creative Scrappers. I have had the best time ever on this team. And will continue to play along with all the amazing sketches they provide weekly.

TGIF & New Shimmerz Pearlz "SamRock"

Hey gals so excited it's Friday, I am headed to the best scrapbook store in all of Texas, Scrappers Boutique in North Richland Hills. I am going to pick up the new Delovey by Cosmo Cricket. Whooohooo!!!! I am soooooo super pumped!! Love this line the bright colors are right up my alley!!

Not sure if you've treated yourself to visiting the Shimmerz blog to check out the new colors and DT work for the new Pearlz but they are divine. Here is a layout I did with "SamRock Pearlz" one of my favorites.







For details on how I used "SamRock" Pearlz on this layout please visit the Shimmerz blog here

See you ladies soon!! Have a scrappy weekend!!

I'm Green with Envy

Green with Envy has quickly become a personal favorite. The color is bright, bold, and the shimmer is amazing. The texture is thick and creamy.



For this project I started by stamping the background using bubble wrap and just one coat of Green with Envy. Which was perfect for my paper choice "Life's Portraits" since there isn't alot of yellow in the patterns.
I pretty much went Pearlz crazy on this layout. I painted my doily, I put a dollop of Pearlz in the center of my red flower, I distressed my edges of the paper, brushed a nice thick coat onto my flowers, and even daubed random paint patterns onto my alphabets using a small paint brush.









It's time ladies to whip out your paint/steeple brushes and daub away at something on your project using Shimmerz Pearlz. You'll love the effects
My design was inspired by a sketch from our very own Lady Grace Belarmino

Happy Scrapping!!!

When all else fails--- Paint with Shimmerz Pearlz

Over the past two weeks I have missed a Creative Scrappers reveal, the new Shimmerz Pearlz reveal, and a ton of other scrappy things. So what do you do when you have NO mojo, and no access to the online world? Well-- you-- DECORATE, LOL!!

I took my two weeks and cleaned my home, and decided to paint my guest bathroom. Jeremiah always gets on me for not taking before pictures. But I did get some after shots. And here they are...


we replaced the ugly builders mirror, painted and sponged the walls, put in all new fixtures, and lighting. Steven and I only had a few fights, NOT bad, LOL!!!


Now that I am back I do have some yummy Shimmery projects to share with you all. I will reveal them over the next few days.
But let's start with a super fun layout of Bailey and her tantrums...

Layout: How to throw a tantrum 101







Ok, so how many of you have this to deal with? This is everyday for me :(
But this is just a STAGE right??? Right???


And here is one of my Shimmerz Paints Pearlz projects. If you haven't been to the blog to check out the DT reveals and the new Pearlz colors then shame on you,lol.

Layout: Goodbye
this is Madison Christmas 2008 saying goodbye to our neighbors. This is based on the BAP sketch from Prima this month.



And here is a sneak peek of more shimmery goodness

Some stuff to share

I created this layout in around 20 minutes. I was so freaked out that it happened so quickly. It doesn't have any of my usual detail. But I love it nonetheless.

This is Bailey in December watching Jeremiah, and Madison play in the snow. Which we had alot of this past year in Texas. Bailey however, was terrified of it. I wanted so bad for her to just muster enough energy to go play, and enjoy herself.



as sad as she was, I got this picture and this layout out of the situation. :)






This one is of my friends cute kid Jayla. She just loves the camera, and the camera loves her. This was done months ago for SNA Magazine Jan/Feb issue.
Kitchen Spice by BoBunny was one of my favorite collections last year. And the Prima is perfect here.








This is Madison and her cute self hanging out by the tree on Easter Sunday. I love the mix of these colors.





Ladies, next week the 10th we will have some super cool reveals going on on Facebook for Shimmerz Paints. So stay tuned.
