Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine Blog Hop!

Welcome! Today we celebrate the launch of the newest CD from the Technique Junkie Newsletter: Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine! If you came here from Nancy Dawson's blog, you have arrived at the last stop. I hope you loved what you saw! If I am your first stop, take a moment to stop at the TJ Design Team Blog to start the hop.

The Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine CD contains 40 tutorials and 5 primers featuring techniques using glitter, glimmer mists, foils, stickles and all things that shine and shimmer. I partnered with the fabulous Jane Bosi to create the CD -- Jane not only is a great designer, but she has wonderfully creative ideas and she writes a mean tutorial! We all benefit from her creative muse on this CD.


I chose to make two glitter techniques today. I wanted to make a few things that I didn't get a chance to make samples for when we were preparing the CD, so I chose two from designer Jane Bosi. The first one uses the Glitter Strips Technique:

 I just received this fun kit from Club Stamp today and I couldn't resist this fun set of sayings!  Don't you just love the inside sentiment?

The second card I made for this hop uses the Lacy Glitter Leafing Technique, again using the Club Stamp Kit:

 I hope this hop has helped you get an idea of some of the cool techniques on the CD. A full index of what is on it, with pictures for each of the techniques, can be found HERE.

All about friends...

We are safely back from our exhibit booh at the Rubber Stamp Show in West Springfield MA. Jane Bosi and I had a great time, and it was fun to meet so many of you at the show. Thank you for coming up and introducing yourself. It is great to put a face to a name! We met many new people, too.

I will be posting the make and take cards we did at the show later this week, but in the mean time, I thought I would post a card that you haven't seen yet.

My card uses a photo stamp from Stampsmith and is colored using the Distress Photo Tinting Technique from the February 2012 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. The background stamp and the sentiment are all from Impression Obsession. Remember, if you use the code TJ at checkout, you will receive 10% off your IO purchase (and who can resist those stamps!).

It appears that we may be adding more shows to our schedule this year, and attending more next. We would love to meet you at a show -- if you go to a show, leave me a message about which one (s) you attend! I would really like to hear from you.

The sample above is the Toe-Jammer album. Isn't it FUN? This is a great album to make after a beach vacation, to give to a hostess, and just plain as a conversation keepsake piece. This Album took me less than 3 hours to complete! Here are some more views of the album (click on any of the samples to make them bigger:

 This Cd was the most fun to work on out of any of the CDs we have done so far.  Hope you will consider joining us on our Mini Album Mania Adventure!
