Have Courage and Be Kind

Hi Friends,

My layout share today is all about the quote that inspired me:

"Have Courage and Be Kind"

It is also my last post as a Shimmerz Educator.

I have loved every minute that I have been a part of the team,

more like family though.

I used a Scrap FX Crosswords Stencil with Shimmerz Paste-eez - Lava Flow to create the background.

As well as some cute heart using 

Shimmerz Paste-eez - Puttin' On The Glitz.

The splatters were created by using:

Shimmerz Coloringz - Oh Say Can You Sea

Shimmerz Coloringz - Night Moves

Shimmerz Spritz - Cotton Candy

and Shimmerz - Bubblegum Blast

I used the Kaisercraft Wildflower Collection for this layout.

Head on over to the Shimmerz blog

for the Step by Step on how this layout was created.

There is one more day left to apply for their Design Team Call.

You Rock - Video Tutorial using Shimmerz Paints

Hi There,

I thought I would take advantage of 

having power, while we are in the middle of a

cyclone here in Far North Queensland, Australia.

What a massive storm Cyclone Debbie is!!

But we are safe for now, that is the main thing.

With that said I wanted to share with you a layout

I created for Shimmerz Paints.

I have used loads of yummy colors

and the Fancy Pants Designs - True Friend Collection.

In the video tutorial, I show you how I created

layers using different Shimmerz Paints products:

Shimmerz Coloringz - Oh Say Can You Sea, Peachy Keen 

& Night Moves.

Shimmerz Inklingz - Tarnished Treasure.

Shimmerz Vibez - Sunset Strip & Snow Storm.

Shimmerz Paste-eez - Lava Flow

Shimmerz AcriTonez - Shimmerz Tar, Tar.

Here are some close-ups:

In the Fancy Pants Designs - True Friends Collection,

there was a multi colored triangle page.

I cut the triangles out, then cut the centres of them out.

That was you can still see the layered background through them.

Some stitching for some fun!

Add some splatters.

In the video I show you how I created the Ombre look

Chipboard.  It was super easy.

Here is the video tutorial on the Shimmerz You Tube Channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

And don't forget!

Hey There,

I hope your weekend is treating you well.

I'm here to share another layout I created

just for me, and no other reason.

Oh, I do love this collection from

Bella Boulevard - Alex Collection.

It was the perfect collection for this photo of

my youngest boy Lucas.

Here are some close-ups:

I used a stencil and the 

Shimmerz Paste-eez -  Hold the Mustard.

I cut strips to create my own funky background.

I added some paint by using 

Shimmerz - AcriTonez - Shimmerz Tar, Tar.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

And remember if you put in a Shimmerz

order, don't forget to mention my name in the comments!
