Each year I capture a photo of each of the kids during our summer vacation to Kansas. It sounds easy enough…but any of you with kids know what I struggle with!

Since I am crazy about the photo, I wanted to keep the layout simple without going too girly so I added in some chipboard flowers and a touch of glitter to each of their centers.  Read more...

Rainbows, clouds, peace signs, glitter…..it’s hard to be unhappy when you have those! Especially the glitter….

I like to add little bits of shine here and there, but I don’t always want to make my glitter really obvious. I love that PK Glitz glitter is micro fine, allowing you to use a minimal amount yet get maximum results. Just the tiniest amount and you get fabulous sparkle.  Read more...
