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:



Don't have Concrete Spritz? Never fear, you can visit our retail partners or stop by our online store!

Go ahead, get your spritz on!

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!!
