Have you ever noticed when Joanns has good coupons, everything is on sale...so you can't use them?? Joanns is in the next town over, so I only go when they are having a big sale, or I have good coupons to use, and I usually take the Joann and Michaels coupons and get more bang for my buck :-)
I went today for the paper sale. 5 for $.95. I've been working on some projects and needed to restock. So back to my coupon. Since almost everything over in the scrapbook section was on sale, I had to look pretty hard to find something to use my coupon on....and I think I've found a new "gem" in my scrapbooking collection. It's called Shimmer Spray, it's in the same section as the Tim Holtz stuff. I know that there are other things like this out there....but this is the first time I've used anything like it...and I love it. It comes in a couple different color packs, I got frost and sparkle....pretty everyday kinda colors.
I wanted to make a card for some friends the live far away from us and use my new spray. Sometimes you sit down and it just comes to you right?? I used my new Simply Charmed Cart and made a 3" sunshine, shadow and sunglasses. The misted it. I put the paper on an old rag to catch the overspray. It was like 4 sprays an we are good to go. I should have done a few "warm-up" sprays in the sink to help it out, but over all LOVE it. I let it dry about 5 mins before I messed with it. The glitter holds up pretty well, I hate it when I glitter one thing and it ends up all over the house :-)
After I got my sun all worked out, I used my DS again (which I'm really falling in love with), to make my words using Plantin Schoolbook. Attached my words. Then used 3-D dots for my sun...and done :-)
Simple...but cheery none the less!
