How to Embellish a ScrapbookTips for Using Glitter Glue in a Scrapbook

Hi. Welcome back to Expert Village. I'm your
host, Grace Fraga, with Fraga Framing and Art Gallery. My guest here is Sylvia Shepherd
from the Crop Circle.

She's teaching us how to "bling" your scrapbook. Absolutely. To
add a little sparkle to your pages. It's very easy to do.

First of all, you have a little
bottle of Stickles there. Yes, I do. Stickles is a type of glitter glue. It's a lot of fun
because you can use it both as a 3D embellishment, and as a glitter glaze.

You can write with
it. So you can go ahead and put a little title maybe on one of the tags. It should come out
pretty well. I'm going to actually go this way because...

It's got a good tip for writing.
Nice. Is that ok? That's great. So you just write whatever you want to write. Write whatever
you want to write.

The tip is a very easy flow tip. It's not going to spurt out on you
and give you all sorts of blobs, so that's really nice. It does take a little bit of
time to dry, especially when using it as the 3D embellishment. Now, if we had a brush with
us, we could actually brush that out and create a glaze.

And that would just give you a very
sheer color with the sparkle, and it creates something super fun. So that's one tip right
there for adding sparkle to your layout, is the Stickles. What is the other one? The other
one is this great product. It's called Glimmer Mist.

It's fairly new on the market, and we're
really excited to have it at our store. It's basically a spray that is going to add color,
like a watercolor sort of thing to your pages, as well as the sparkle. And, most importantly,
it's acid free. So you can't worry about that with your projects.

You're going to spray
it on here and it's going to have a sort of a sporadic feel to it, a little bit of spontaneity,
but that's ok. And, you're going to do that. Oh, I see what you're talking about. And that's
going to dry.

Ooh. And you can already see it sort of soaking into the paper, creating
a really fun glimmer. Look how much fun. Can I try it? Absolutely.

Go for it. Let me try
it. I wanted to try on the button here. Let's see.

Whew. There you go. And what's really
nice is it's going to wash out of your clothing, so you don't have to worry about that, and
your hands. But we've actually had customers, who have used it on things like their tablecloth
for a holiday party, and they've jazzed it up with that and then they throw it in the
washing machine and it's done.

So, this is a fun product. Definitely. It's called Glimmer
Mist, and you can get it at thecropcircle.Net. Absolutely.

That's great. So we "blinged"
it. We glittered it. And now what are we going to do next? We're going to sand it.

We're
going to sand it. Wow, this page has been having a lot of abuse, but it's fun abuse.
It's going to go through them well. Oh yes. So stay tuned for that..
