For those of you asking how to use the Prima artist tiles -- here you go!!

Lots of layers of Prima paper and a few fantastically eye catching embellishments makes an unforgettable page worthy of a frame!

Just cover it in glitter!!

Cover anything you like with glitter! We made these shoes from an Accucut die. Then you use a spray adhesive to coat the object is glue and sprinkle with glitter! Don't forget to glitter above a plate or bowl so you can put the leftover glitter back into the jar. We used Empress glitter - in Spun Sugar and Azure. Scarlet Empress Empress Glitter works so well because it is so fine it fits in all the nooks and crannies! Both of these glitters are available on our website - www.Scarlet-empress.com 
What will you cover in glitter??

Using Recycled Cardboard!

This layout is made using things around the house! The background shape is cut from a large box. Sometimes one side of the cardboard will look like this, or you can easily peel one side of the cardboard off to reveal this pattern inside. Then the cardboard is lightly "washed" with paint. The textured material behind the mat is another recycled product found around the house - Starbucks coffee sleeve turned inside out! Try adding an opposite type material - like gemstones for a beautiful artistic flare!

The fourth of July isn't just for red anymore!

Make your fourth of July invitations or scrapbook page stand out from the rest by choosing a non traditional color! In this invitation pink helps make it unique and one of a kind! Try mixing opposite types of ribbons like raffia and glitter ribbon for a real punch of creativity!

Do you ever wonder what to do with overlays?
Well... how about as the base/background for your scrapbook layout!
