Happy Monday, everyone!!  It’s woodgrain week here on the Glitz blog, and our designers have lots of eye candy to share with you over the next 5 days!  Glitz Design has a ton of amazing woodgrain product, including patterned paper, & washi tape!  Many of our stickers & accents include woodgrain of some sort as well…giving you lots of possibilities!

Today we have Stephanie & Magda sharing how they incorporated woodgrain into their light & airy designs.

Up first is Stephanie, who utilized the woodgrain paper to peek through these fun butterfly cuts all over her layout!  Check it out!

Here is a little more info from Stephanie about her layout:
“For this week’s project, I wanted to use my silhouette to make a fun “canvas” for my woodgrain paper.  I’m obsessed with butterflies at the moment so I decided to cut out a whole bunch of butterflies on a 12×12 piece of white card stock.  To add some dimension to my page, I used some of the 6×6 and 8×8 paper packs to cut out some additional butterflies to add directly onto my layout.  I sewed several together so I could move the butterfly “wings” around and add a fun “pop” to the page.  I finished the layout off with a title using the amazing metallic gold mini alpha from the Uncharted Waters collection, as well as some wood veneers!”

Here are some details shots from her layout:

Supply List:
Glitz Design “Color Me Happy” 12×12 woodgrain paper
Glitz Design “Color Me Happy” 6×6 paper pad
Glitz Design “Uncharted Waters” 6×6 paper pad

Glitz Design “Uncharted Waters” Teeny Alphas – metallic gold

Up next is this beautiful spread that Magda created for her handbook.  It is really so fresh & airy, and the photography is beautiful….you will love it!

In Magda’s words, “This time I decided to make a page for my handbook. This week’s theme – woodgrain – suits perfectly to photos from last Sunday. I went to my parents and had so much fun with my nieces – we swung on a wooden see-saw. Just take a look how sweet they all look! ”

Here are some details shots:

Supply List:

I don’t know about you…but those projects just kind-of make me want to sigh, and just stare at them.  Tee hee!

Don’t forget that we have added another giveaway incentive during each month!!  We have a blog hop at the end of the month, which always has a prize attached to it.  That will stay the same.  But on the same day that I chose the winner from the blog hop, I will also choose another random comment on the Glitz blog from the ENTIRE month to win a surprise Glitz goodie package as well!!  So, the more blog entries that you leave comments on during May…the more chances you have to win!

Come back on over tomorrow when we share some projects that are a bit more artsy & eclectic!  Have a great Monday!!

First off….Happy Mother’s Day!!!  I hope that you all are having a wonderful day today!!

After our week long celebration of women, and our design team creating some fabulous projects to inspire us all….I went out & about to find some amazing projects all about women & girls made by YOU, our amazing Glitz fans & customers.

I found projects all over the place…large online galleries (ie: Two Peas & Scrapbook.com), posted to our Facebook page, & hashtagged on Instagram.  Let me share some items that caught my eye!

What we love: Umm…what’s NOT to love about this set?  What a fun & colorful way to decorate a gift package for your sweet mom! She used the Color Me Happy collection like a pro, and we just LOVE her projects.  Such an amazing set!

Gallery – http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/user_profile/562539/
What We Love: Besides the fun design & lovely use of the Love You Madly collection…we love the premise behind this layout.  She said it best in the gallery description, “This week we were challenged to do a layout celebrating who we are – right now. We had to include our favorite color (mine is a close race between pink and aqua so I used both), an embellishment that represented something we love (I used the floral frame to represent my love of flowers and nature) and journal about ourselves in a positive, uplifting way (my journaling is hidden on a tag).”  Women can be so hard on themselves, and I love the positivity connected with this.

What We Love: It’s nice to see a past collection pop up in the gallery, amidst all the current collections.  While we found this in the Two Peas gallery, I read a little more about this layout on her blog post.  This layout is 8×8 in size, and part of an album she is making for her Instagram photos!!  Isn’t that a fun idea?!  Love it!

Jennifer Grace – posted to our Facebook page

What we Love: Jennifer posted this to our Facebook page awhile ago, and I have been hanging on to it for that perfect time to share it.  And this was it!!  We love the scattering of jewels & white mist spatters.  We love the bow made of washi tape.  We love the woodgrain & gold embossed arrows….so much current & trendy mixed on this.  We also just LOVE that Jennifer shares what she created with Glitz all the time on our Facebook page!  So everyone….take note!  We WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU CREATE!!

What we love:  For one…the subject is SUPER CUTE.  And she IS fabulous…we’ve got to let them know that at a young age, and keep repeating it!  This is such a FUN use of the Cashmere Dame collection, and we love her fun title work!  How cute are those butterflies as well?!!  Love this!!

Nicole Nowosad – found in Two Peas gallery
Blog – www.justnicks.blogspot.com
What We Love: Every woman should take the time to make sure there are photos of herself.  Whether you have someone take them for you, or you do selfies with your camera phone…it is important to make sure you are a part of your albums.  We LOVE how Nicole designed this layout about her story….the bright colors are fabulous, the banners & cutouts are amazing, and we love the bits of Glitz washi here & there too.

Well…there you have it!! Some amazing projects that have caught our eye!  Keep on posting your work to galleries, share with us on Facebook & Instagram….you might just be part of the next Out & About feature!!

Hey everyone!!  Happy Friday!!  It’s time to get ready for the weekend, and we are rounding out our feminine week by focusing on fun & friendship!!  Someone once said that “girls just want to have fun”, and while women have a lot more depth than that….it is still a true statement!

Magda created this first layout to document a fun time she had at a scrap event!  This is such a fun, eclectic design….and the gold lettering is just a fabulous touch!

Before we get started, I wanted to mention that we have added another giveaway incentive during each month!!  We have a blog hop at the end of the month, which always has a prize attached to it.  That will stay the same.  But on the same day that I chose the winner from the blog hop, I will also choose another random comment on the Glitz blog from the ENTIRE month to win a surprise Glitz goodie package as well!!  So, the more blog entries that you leave comments on during May…the more chances you have to win!

Today the design team has two more layouts to share with you.  These layouts are about moms that are gone, but definitely not forgotten.  I am sure these two ladies will tell you that it isn’t easy to lose your mom.  And they have each created a gorgeous layout, remembering their moms and sharing how special they were to them.  I am sure these layouts will be treasured in their albums for years to come.

Up first is Noel’s layout, with bold colors & a graphic but feminine design…not to mention an amazing photo of her mom.

In Noel’s words, “This week’s Glitz theme centers around the women in our lives. After I lost my mom, I spent some time going through all of the photos I’d taken of her over the years. My mom was always making things for people in need, and when I shot this photo she was knitting hats for the newborn babies at a local hospital. The Glitz cardstock sticker summed it up perfectly, “I will never forget this moment in time.” As we approach Mother’s Day, may remember to treasure those moments in time with the precious women in our lives.”

Here is a detail shot from her layout:

Stephanie chose to scrapbook a photo of her & her mom together during her childhood.  Stephanie’s layout is soft, light & airy…with beautiful artistic touches added here & there.

Here is what Stephanie had to say about our weekly theme, “As soon as I read that this week was celebrating women, I knew I wanted to find a picture of me and my mother to include on a layout.  I lost my mom about 16 years ago to a battle with cancer and I have never really scrapped my childhood memories.  I thought this week was the perfect time to celebrate my amazing mother.”

Such a lovely tribute to her beautiful mom, don’t you think?  Here are some details shots of Stephanie’s layout:

Tomorrow we will be back celebrating another important aspect of being a woman….friendship.  Don’t forget to leave us with your thoughts about the layouts above or any questions you might have…you never know which random comment will be picked to win!

Welcome to our third day of celebrating all the different women & girls in our life!  Today is all about moms and grandmas, and we have two layouts to share with you.  Before we get going though…how about those FAB mother’s day cards yesterday?!!  I was certainly inspired, and we hope that you were too!

Up first is my layout, and it is the first digital layout I have ever created.  Ever.  And I am so excited with how it turned out!

I used a digital template that I fell in love with awhile back, but then worked on turning it into my own by adding Glitz digital product, moving things around, taking things away…and this is how it turned out.  Ya’ll…I just KNOW I am going to love digital scrapbooking now that I have finally taken the plunge!

The one thing that I do love about this layout is you could recreate it in paper form as well, minus some of the digital brushes that were used.  Here is a detail shot of the journaling, since it is a little hard to see in the photo above.

You can find all of the Glitz Design digital product at JessicaSprague.com!

Supply List:
Glitz Design “Love You Madly” digital paper pack 2
Glitz Design “Love You Madly” element pack 2
Glitz Design “Color Me Happy” paper pack
Glitz Design “Cashmere Dame” element pack 1
Other: Designer Digitals template, Studio Calico “you rock” tag, digital sequins, arrow clipping mask

Up next is an artistic & eclectic layout that Karine did about her grandmother!

Here is what Karine had to say about her layout, “I am really delighted to show you my very first layout all dressed up in Glitz!  For this first challenge, my layout will star my grandmother who is 88 years old today! (A very dynamic little woman who deserved a very colourful page!)

I had fun mixing a background paper from the Love You Madly collection with one of my favourite pattern paper from the Uncharted Waters collection!  I chose to use a neutral background paper which will allow me to have more choices of embellishments.

I put the emphasis on my small-sized picture with the help of a beige Pola frame, which is perfect with its “hearts“ die!  I shaded the various papers of my lay out with Distress Vintage Photo ink. Use a cut’n dry piece with ink and apply lightly on the paper edges.

I stamped black arrows directly on the blue pattern paper. The typewriter pattern is stamped on a separate paper, cut then a ‘love you“ mini stamp is added on it and the whole is glued on the page with 3D adhesive.  Add 3D embellishments like rhinestones and small buttons. Then simply add splashes and you’re done!”

Supply List:
Glitz Papers: Glitz Color Me Happy Bits & Pieces, Love You Madly Stripe
8×8 Glitz Paper Pack: Uncharted Waters

Today we are going to focus on beautiful & feminine cards made just for that special mama in your life!  Each of the projects is special & lovely & will leave you feeling sentimental and inspired!!  First up is Karola….check it out!

Karola created these two amazing cards, and here is what she had to say about them!
“For this inspirational week I decided to create two Mother’s Day cards. Two, because one of them you can give to your beloved mother and the second you can give to your wonderful mother in law. Both cards were created using the Love You Madly collection and is definitely one of the best collections for this occasion. You can also see that I combined Love You Madly with Color Me Happy accents – it’s a great way to add some color and energy to your creations! Here I used the beautiful, large Whatnots to create multiple layers, Paper Garland and fragments of patterned papers to create additional small details.”

Here are closer shots of each card!

In Mou’s words, “Here’s a card I made for Mother’s Day mixing five different collections from Glitz Design, namely, “Sunshine In My Soul”, “Love You Madly”, “Color Me Happy”, “Uncharted Waters”, and “Hello Friend”. Each collection is so unique and yet so easy to mix and match together.”

And last but not least, is a card from me!

I took using this sheet of paper on as a challenge, because even at 6×6…it is still pretty big for a card front.  So I fussy cut each section of words out, then layered to the card front.  You might not be able to see all the words perfectly, but you can definitely figure out the sentiment I was trying to convey!   Don’t be afraid to cut into all the amazing graphic papers by Glitz…you will love the outcome!

I’m all about the sequin & wood veneer trend these days….and they complimented all my Glitz product perfectly!

Lisa gave a description on how to create the dimensional hearts on her layout:
“One of my favorite things on this layout are the 3D hearts that are not fully attached to the page. After freehand cutting the hearts, I used a tiny bit of adhesive to hold them to the page and then ran each heart through my sewing machine. I bent the sides of the hearts up so that they are popping off the page. It’s a fun and whimsical look for this page about Mother’s Day.”

In Stephanie’s words, “For me, part of celebrating women is celebrating being a mother.  For this layout, I decided to write little notes to my two babies to remind them of just how special they are, how much I love them and how being a mother has change me forever.  I sewed two of pieces of paper cut from the 6×6 paper packs together to form a little pocket for my notes.  I backed all of my photos and “love of my life” title with tulle to soften the layout a little.”

Here are some details shots of her layout:

Welcome to our final day of announcing our new team members!!  I have two more designers to introduce today!

Up first is Karine Cazenave!  Karine has such an artistic & bold style, and we just love how she mixes it with Glitz Design product!

Blog – http://karinecazenave.typepad.com/

Describe your style.
I have a very colourful style, with loads of embellishments. I like to add many details on my creations! I don’t like empty pages! I love to multiply papers and little things! I love using inks and stamps on my lay outs, and I like playing with pattern papers! My favourite subjects would be my son Maxence, who is a big boy of 10, and travels.
Here is a fabulous layout from Karine using some Glitz!

What is your favorite thing about paper crafting?
It depends on my mood: pages or mini books. But what I like overall is changing the atmosphere with every creation! I hate doing the same thing over and over!

I’ve been creating cards lately and I must say I like it!

What is going on around you as you create? (ie: music, television, silence, drink of choice, snacks, etc…)
Nothing at all! I like silence when I scrapbook. I’m living on coffee so my favourite mug is always within reach in my scraproom.

Where do you create? (Include a photo if you’d like!!)
Since my birthday last august, I’m lucky enough to have a nice room where there is enough space to arrange my stash and spread things out! It was time to have one since this is the place where I am most of the time! I really needed a nice room to create and let my wishes flow!

What is your favorite Glitz Design product &/or collection and why?
I’m really into stamps and I must say that Glitz stamps are to die for! Very neat with a lovely design, I love using these high quality stamps! You can use them in so many different ways: for your backgrounds or as accents, it never ends! I like the small rollers as well because they bring a free style effect to our creations.

Up next is a returning designer Mou Saha.  Mou has such an eclectic style, and she combines product like no other! We’re so excited to welcome her back!

Blog – http://collagecollagecollage.blogspot.com/
Describe your style.
Artsy
Here is one of Mou’s fave Glitz projects!

Blog – http://www.10-4livingoutloud.typepad.com/

Describe your style.
I love to try all styles but find I always lean towards layering pp and mixing and matching different patterns. I LOVE creating layouts & mixed media. I love playing with different textures.
Here are a couple of samples of Leica’s work!

What is your favorite thing about paper crafting?

All the different people I get to meet when I teach classes. Seeing all the unique ways people create is AWESOME! I am a very touchy feely kind of scrapbooker, I will probably never go fully digital because I like to work with the product. When I paper craft, it feels so awesome to see a project coming together. It reminds me of the memory itself, and that is always good, even if it isn’t the best memory- it still makes you think about a part of life.

What is going on around you as you create? (ie: music, television, silence, drink of choice, snacks, etc…)

I listen to movies. I don’t care if I’ve heard it once or twenty times. I love just listening. Because I don’t watch too much TV, I find it hard to watch series unless I record the whole thing. To which I am the biggest sucker for anything Redneck. Duck Dynasty, Swamp People. I know bad habit.

Where do you create? (Include a photo if you’d like!!)

Now this is a funny question. When it is for myself, I create in a tiny hole in the wall under the stairs that suits me just fine. It is really organized and everything is at my every touch. When I create for classes or assignments, it is up in our livingroom in a wall unit, and I scrap on my lap. I keep the stuff separate. And when I kit for classes I take up the entire basement and pool table…literally. (This is why my husband calls our house a “scrap house” (so affectionately wink wink).

What is your favorite Glitz Design product &/or collection and why?

Do I have to pick just one??????? It definitely has to be Cashmere Dame then.  And you know I don’t think I can live without The giant Rhinestones. LOVE them. But it’s the papers that always grab my attention first. Such fantastic styles!

Welcome back to another day of design team introductions!  Up first for today is a returning DT member, Lisa Andrews.  We love Lisa’s bold but attainable style….and I just adore how often she uses her handwriting.  Lisa is also a Project Life girl, and we love seeing how she incorporates Glitz into her PL pages!

Blog – http://lisaandrews.blogspot.com/
Desribe your style.
I’ve found that my style changes depending on my mood. Sometimes it’s pretty simple with a plain background and a few embellishments and other times I love using a lot of bright colors and layering things up on the page.
Here is one of Lisa’s fave Glitz layouts:

Up next is a brand new team member, Jaime Warren!  We have been long time admirers of Jaime’s whimsical and fun style!  The stars have finally aligned, and we are so happy to have her on the team!

Blog – http://jaimewarren.typepad.com/
Describe your style. 
A little chaotic lol!  A bit whimsical, a little bit scattered and a little bit linear.

What is your favorite thing about paper crafting?  
The release it provides.  I can be in a terrible mood, but once I sit down and start creating, my spirits immediately begin to lift!

What is going on around you as you create? (ie: music, television, silence, drink of choice, snacks, etc…) 
The kids are usually running around, the television is going and there is general chaos!

Where do you create? (Include a photo if you’d like!!) 
Typically at the coffee table in my living room.  I like being surrounded by my family!

What is your favorite Glitz Design product &/or collection and why? 
All of it is gorgeous!!  I can’t choose just one favorite product!
