glitter tape

This is my layout for the Pagerize This Challenge # 13 on Scrap Our Stash.  You’ve got until September 12 if you’d like to participate!

I started with Julie’s layout in general and went from there.  I ended up with the three pictures on the bottom and liked that but I struggled as I worked on the top of the page.  I had a crown that I kept playing with but it didn’t make the final cut.  I finally came up with the glitter stars and LOVE how they turned out!  The large star is actually multiple ones that are layered together.  I added the Glitter Glitz and it dried as one piece on the top and I was able to create the one large star that I wanted!  I’m so glad it turned out because I used almost my whole bottle!  The lamp on my desk gets quite hot so I set it under there and left it for a couple hours to dry.  That’s my best note as far as how long it took to dry.  Another option would have been to use my heat gun.  You may notice I also added small glitter dots to the background paper.

One thing I did with this layout was combined new product with my old stash to create something I like.  I remember when this paper first came out, I thought it was so cute.  Today I had a hard time making it into something I liked with the matching stickers.  By adding the border (new product) and glitter I was able to create a page that I was happy with and still use up some of my old stash.

Below is a closeup of the stars because they are so pretty!  The smaller one is just a cardstock diecut attached with 3D foam tape.
