This month our blog challenge is all about the women in our lives.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If I had to choose the biggest influences in my life, I'd have to pick my mom, my grandma and great-grandma. They shaped my values growing up. In my adult life, however, the biggest influence is my daughter, in whom I see a little bit of everyone of these ladies. My first layout is dedicated to all of these wonderful women.<br />

<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef016304e8fb4e970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img alt="GD Happy Birthday Cupcake" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83548bc0253ef016304e8fb4e970d" src="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef016304e8fb4e970d-500wi" title="GD Happy Birthday Cupcake" /></a></div>
My first card, I decided, would be a birthday card I will be needing for a good friend of mine later this month! I cut out a cupcake shaped card using my Silhouette and several beautiful papers from the Pretty in Pink Collection. I adorned my cupcake with some Pretty in Pink Glitzers and ribbon. One quick tip - if you would like to use a Glitzer as a frame, make sure to stamp your image/sentiment first and then layer the Glitzer over it. The shiny surface of the Glitzers do not lend themselves well to holding ink...but do display them nicely if they are stamped first!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef016765dc25a7970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img alt="GD Laugh" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83548bc0253ef016765dc25a7970b" src="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef016765dc25a7970b-500wi" title="GD Laugh" /></a></div>
My second card is one that I also made for a friend of mine, and the girly colors of the Pretty in Pink papers are so perfect for it! I used several different patterns to cut out petals for my flower and arranged them to form a large bloom. I finished off my card with a Pretty in Pink Glitzer, a button, and some stitching.<br />
<br />Here's some info on the Blog Challenge this month...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzWj0GQ_E-8/T5mJG926idI/AAAAAAAAI0A/SlePMkqFOdk/s1600/GlitzMay2012BlogChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzWj0GQ_E-8/T5mJG926idI/AAAAAAAAI0A/SlePMkqFOdk/s640/GlitzMay2012BlogChallenge.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For the challenge, I decided to to a layout about my sister Melanie and I. We live on opposite sides of the US, so we don't get to see each other very often. (I do have two other wonderful sisters, but I do get to see them a lot more than I see Melanie!) Having a picture of us together is a rare treat. Our family got to travel to North Carolina for a visit with my sister and her family over our spring break, so I had a photo of us ready to use on a layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snoZmcpgCHg/T5mJvOHykKI/AAAAAAAAI0I/y6uKseZJ9cg/s1600/Glitz_May2012_sisters1_Landrews.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="637" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snoZmcpgCHg/T5mJvOHykKI/AAAAAAAAI0I/y6uKseZJ9cg/s640/Glitz_May2012_sisters1_Landrews.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The great thing about my sisters is that even if we haven't been together for a while we just pick up where we left off and have a great time together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RfqFp7veJrs/T5mKTmEMy4I/AAAAAAAAI0Q/TtswUZNGdWc/s1600/Glitz_May2012_sisters2_Landrews.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RfqFp7veJrs/T5mKTmEMy4I/AAAAAAAAI0Q/TtswUZNGdWc/s640/Glitz_May2012_sisters2_Landrews.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The Glitz Happy Travels line was perfect for this page. The airplane elements worked great since we flew to see each other. Plus the epoxy stickers said just the right words.<br />
<br />
For my second layout today, I used some photo booth photos plus an Instagram photo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P-DZEMTWXt4/T5mLPKopRUI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/DWACYdIb9wk/s1600/Glitz_May2012_smile1_Landrews.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P-DZEMTWXt4/T5mLPKopRUI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/DWACYdIb9wk/s640/Glitz_May2012_smile1_Landrews.jpg" width="636" /></a></div>
<br />
My favorite thing on this page could be the "I Love Your Face" stickers. At first I thought it would be an unusual thing to say, but when I put it with these funny face photo booth photos, they were a perfect match.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sazRTRaCqZk/T5mL6Fg98yI/AAAAAAAAI0g/rqwVrXTmM0s/s1600/Glitz_May2012_smile3_Landrews.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sazRTRaCqZk/T5mL6Fg98yI/AAAAAAAAI0g/rqwVrXTmM0s/s640/Glitz_May2012_smile3_Landrews.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
There are so many pretty things in the Glitz Pretty in Pink line and I just kept layering them up on this page. My favorite new Glitz product is the 6 X 6 paper pads. The small print and size are perfect for layering up. Plus I feel like I can cut up and use the paper pad because it won't run out as quickly as my more limited supply of larger paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Happy May Day dear friends!!! It's hard to believe it's already the first of May and it's time to start a new Glitz Design challenge!!! Here's the challenge:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/ltllea23/GlitzMay2012BlogChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Image" border="0" height="483" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/ltllea23/GlitzMay2012BlogChallenge.jpg" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">What an awesome challenge for the Month of May!!! For me personally, Mother's day is a tough day. My mom is no longer here with us, but I know she is always in my heart and I think about her each and every day! So, for my challenge cards I chose to make Thinking of You Cards to honor my mom. Here's my take on the challenge:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4phWHgBhJ0/T5oPmoVv6PI/AAAAAAAAFK8/SEghDLWNWGA/s1600/12-May-1-I%27ve-been.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4phWHgBhJ0/T5oPmoVv6PI/AAAAAAAAFK8/SEghDLWNWGA/s1600/12-May-1-I%27ve-been.jpg" /></a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
There are lots of layers in this card including a Peek a Boo from the French Kiss line of goodies. I printed the sentiment onto cream cardstock and then inked the edges. I covered the sentiment with a Pretty Ink Pink Glitzer and then fussy cut the edges. It makes for a perfect custom-made sentiment!!</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0FO3LOwVb_o/T5oPkmXIqcI/AAAAAAAAFK4/jp4GHPV5B7Y/s1600/12-May-1-I%27ve-been-cu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0FO3LOwVb_o/T5oPkmXIqcI/AAAAAAAAFK4/jp4GHPV5B7Y/s1600/12-May-1-I%27ve-been-cu.jpg" /></a></div>
Supplies Used:
Glitz Design Pretty In Pink 6x6 Paper Pad
Glitz Design Pretty In Pink Glitzers
Glitz Design French Kiss Peek a Boos
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Other Supplies: Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream Cardstock; Canvas Corp Burlap Heart; Doily, Buttons, Pearls, and Seam Binding from my stash</span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<br />
The next card is made using the beautiful French Kiss Whatnots as inspiration. I totally love the French Kiss Whatnots!! They are completely gorgeous!!
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OTgDuCnZ-IE/T5oPnOgdrcI/AAAAAAAAFLE/iRYtIH5tLgU/s1600/12-May-1-Thinking-of-You.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OTgDuCnZ-IE/T5oPnOgdrcI/AAAAAAAAFLE/iRYtIH5tLgU/s1600/12-May-1-Thinking-of-You.jpg" /></a></div>
I used a little heirloom lace, seam binding ribbon and a doily to add some layers and vintage goodness to this card. It's amazing what a little lace and ribbon can do!!!

Hello everyone! <a href="http://www.karolakraftuje.blogspot.com/">Karola</a> here with new inspiration for you! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month we have another fantastic challenge and this month so many countries enjoy beautiful spring, right? Our challenge is about creating projects with a spring touch...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image" height="483" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/ltllea23/GlitzApr2012BlogChallenge.jpg" width="640" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...and my first layout is also about spring, first spring of my friend's daughter. Cute baby face in a first spring sun - it's a beautiful theme to work with! I used here<b><a href="http://glitzitnow.com/glitz-products.php"> Pretty In Pink collection</a></b> with a little help from <b><a href="http://glitzitnow.com/glitz-products.php">Beautiful Dreamer</a> </b>line. I picked soft colors to make fresh, delicate page. I totally love the new product - Layered Stickers and I am sure you will love them too! Beautiful quotes and classic design is perfect for every occasion! As usually I used <b>Paper Layers</b> on the background and matting the photo. Pretty In Pink have absolutely stunning Paper Layers, very shabby chic and very classy!</div>

My second today's layout is about loving the life. Life is so beautiful, just look around and ... experience it! This is the title of my page, which I made with photo of me and with amazing <b><a href="http://glitzitnow.com/glitz-products.php">Happy Travels</a></b> collection. As you can see this line is very versatile - my page is not about travel, but about life journey - you can create everything what you want using this fantastic collection and with these fabulous retro colors palette - i love it!</div>

They've been sitting on my desk, teasing me, being utterly gorgeous and all that. I'm sure you know the drill.
You may also know that shiver of excitement when you cut into a brand new sheet for the first time, if you happen to be a paper junkie like me... Boy, did it happen a lot earlier today!
Wanna see the results??
Lots of pink here. No wonder, for I used the fabby <span style="font-style: italic;">Pretty In Pink</span> line! My favourite from it are the all-new Layered Stickers, and one of them I made a focal point on this card. Swoon!
I also used the back sides of the papers, for the die-cutting.

Other: cardstock: Fine Linen (PTI); ribbon: Stampin' Up!;lace: Kaisercraft; Spellbinders™ dies: S4-355 Layered Flowers, S5-079 Persian Motifs<br />
<br />
On another one, I tried a vintage/romantic look, with the help of the <span style="font-style: italic;">French Kiss</span> papers and stamps. I really like that collage look I achieved, by stamping on one of the patterned papers.

The photo is very special as this was the first time my daughter attended a father-daughter dance. It was important for me to journal about the event so I tucked a tag behind the photo to hide my journaling.</div>

When I saw the peak of the Happy Travels collection, it was a few weeks after I had just gotten home from a trip that I will never forget...because it was a nightmare!! My 2 1/2 year old was living up to all the stereotypes of a "terrible two" and it was just an awful awful time traveling. So I had to journal about it (although I'd much rather forget it!). Hopefully I can look back at this one day and laugh! :)
This was the only photo that I got while traveling and it was in the Detroit airport. The hustle and bustle and the colors and the blur of the photo just emulate the hectic time that we were having.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls1GypqLbOU/T3UtAHoe0BI/AAAAAAAAFmo/ARYnZW5SK6A/s1600/happy+are+they+who+travel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls1GypqLbOU/T3UtAHoe0BI/AAAAAAAAFmo/ARYnZW5SK6A/s640/happy+are+they+who+travel.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I hand cut some planes from the Planes paper and strung them like a banner. I first stitched lines underneath them. I was thinking about how when you see a flight path on a map, you see those dotted lines from point A to point B, so that's what inspired me to stitch under the plane banner. I also punched some cloud shapes from vellum and the patterned paper and layered them on. I wanted some to pop off the page, so I had to get creative with that because a pop dot would show through the vellum. So I just lightly glued one of the vellum clouds to the back of an airplane.

This next page I create based on the April blog challenge.

We had just taken a trip to the park where we saw a butterfly and Charlotte chased it around the field. It was perfect for this challenge!
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lygxJd8yuB8/T3UtFdtJ0uI/AAAAAAAAFnA/mOOMH9zAoSE/s1600/butterfly+chase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="627" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lygxJd8yuB8/T3UtFdtJ0uI/AAAAAAAAFnA/mOOMH9zAoSE/s640/butterfly+chase.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I loved the pink and blues and flowers and butterflies, so I incorporated those all into my page.
The layered banner sticker originally had a bird on it, but I took it off and replaced it with a small blue butterfly.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9QlxS2Ji8Iw/T3Ut5Pli5cI/AAAAAAAAFnQ/0gn2Z80cq4c/s1600/butterfly-chase-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9QlxS2Ji8Iw/T3Ut5Pli5cI/AAAAAAAAFnQ/0gn2Z80cq4c/s1600/butterfly-chase-2.jpg" /></a></div>
It is a bit hard to tell in the photos, but I took some acetate and cut out some small circles and inked the edges with brown StazOn. I glued these circles over where the butterfly is in the photos to make them stand out a bit more. One of the spiral roses is from a Spellbinders Die and the others I cut and rolled myself.
<br />

Good morning! I have to tell you, I am LOVING the new French Kiss line! Burlap is so trendy right now, not to mention all the delicious texture it gives...so imagine my delight to see so much of it in the French Kiss collection! And the bit of corals and red really make all of the subtle vintage patterns pop! It might just be my favorite Glitz line of all time!<br /><br />
For my first card, I used the softer patterned papers from the French Kiss collection and paired it with a coordinating Whatnot and gorgeous Glitzer!<br />

For my second card, I was trying to achieve that "Vintage French Romance" feel. The lovely Whatnot, subtle textures and patterns, and the embossed Eiffel tower are all set off by the pop of red. Burlap and red...that is a match made in heaven I think! :-)<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for joining me here today! Hugs, Laurie<br />

How have you been? Today I want to share some layouts inspired on our monthly challenge. This time we play with this inspiration:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tqWtm5_dSdI/T3TO-He5WrI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/cYAiQyIK6Ck/s1600/GlitzApr2012BlogChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tqWtm5_dSdI/T3TO-He5WrI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/cYAiQyIK6Ck/s640/GlitzApr2012BlogChallenge.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Yes! Spring! Here in Brazil we are seing autumn days, in spite of this I loved to create my projects for today. Just because Spring is one of my favorite seasons. What about you? Fresh colors, flowers, amazing landscapes to shoot... all of this is so full of inspiration! How I love!<br />
<br />
This first layout called Life is beautiful was made using the new collection Pretty in Pink:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_kGpNw-bdw/T30wj9smeeI/AAAAAAAACUE/rKurnySyNJQ/s1600/DSCN0049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_kGpNw-bdw/T30wj9smeeI/AAAAAAAACUE/rKurnySyNJQ/s640/DSCN0049.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>
<br />
I inked the background using several inks and this clear stamp from French Kiss collection:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTdSslTuqTk/T30wl6-xDUI/AAAAAAAACTQ/P9Kr6PSnXqE/s1600/DSCN0050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTdSslTuqTk/T30wl6-xDUI/AAAAAAAACTQ/P9Kr6PSnXqE/s640/DSCN0050.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here a detail from Music paper:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoxfvC9DeLc/T30wnyhu8XI/AAAAAAAACTY/OsMaTaFhUu8/s1600/DSCN0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoxfvC9DeLc/T30wnyhu8XI/AAAAAAAACTY/OsMaTaFhUu8/s640/DSCN0051.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
A detail from many paper layers, layering the project's photo as a mat:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bvZkyxRanBI/T30wqKDYohI/AAAAAAAACTg/oNOyniazNVs/s1600/DSCN0052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bvZkyxRanBI/T30wqKDYohI/AAAAAAAACTg/oNOyniazNVs/s640/DSCN0052.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uZEG-oVwcek/T30w0OL-paI/AAAAAAAACUA/O2uIs_Ur5OA/s1600/DSCN0059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uZEG-oVwcek/T30w0OL-paI/AAAAAAAACUA/O2uIs_Ur5OA/s640/DSCN0059.JPG" width="502" /></a></div>
<br />
Here I used a clear stamp from Pretty Pink collection. I stamped with Stazon Opaque White on a photo, and I got this gorgeous effect! You must try too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7OQWBJacPlA/T30wxMYhrrI/AAAAAAAACT4/K6ARV33ATag/s1600/DSCN0056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7OQWBJacPlA/T30wxMYhrrI/AAAAAAAACT4/K6ARV33ATag/s640/DSCN0056.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iunyWxg3SIE/T30wvLSl5TI/AAAAAAAACTw/Miq4rqjrTW0/s1600/DSCN0054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iunyWxg3SIE/T30wvLSl5TI/AAAAAAAACTw/Miq4rqjrTW0/s640/DSCN0054.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
One more detail, with Peek a Boo frame:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6wQ59PQcgDM/T30ws_zC4dI/AAAAAAAACTo/oNVpehhHxjE/s1600/DSCN0053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6wQ59PQcgDM/T30ws_zC4dI/AAAAAAAACTo/oNVpehhHxjE/s640/DSCN0053.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
My second project, was also inspired in Spring:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zpYb5CPWvh0/T305pp8nD5I/AAAAAAAACUc/esuTurdyHNE/s1600/DSCN0062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zpYb5CPWvh0/T305pp8nD5I/AAAAAAAACUc/esuTurdyHNE/s640/DSCN0062.JPG" width="634" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I need to say, I'm really in love with "Happy Travels" Collection. Here we can say how the Rinhestones can make a difference just using in this simple way:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rYWZTwyF7eQ/T305jWJ3phI/AAAAAAAACUM/EflfSKn7ufc/s1600/DSCN0043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rYWZTwyF7eQ/T305jWJ3phI/AAAAAAAACUM/EflfSKn7ufc/s640/DSCN0043.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xcWt1DmYfdg/T305mUzbBeI/AAAAAAAACUU/EKqnH3yTnkU/s1600/DSCN0044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xcWt1DmYfdg/T305mUzbBeI/AAAAAAAACUU/EKqnH3yTnkU/s640/DSCN0044.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
One more time I used paper layers to add some layering to my layout: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v2vW2zuLs8A/T305sIWXyBI/AAAAAAAACUk/kK_QV7Z842k/s1600/DSCN0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v2vW2zuLs8A/T305sIWXyBI/AAAAAAAACUk/kK_QV7Z842k/s640/DSCN0063.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I layered the layout with flags too:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Txxc07_pjj0/T305uUF3a6I/AAAAAAAACUs/PTCMOpFs2zc/s1600/DSCN0064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Txxc07_pjj0/T305uUF3a6I/AAAAAAAACUs/PTCMOpFs2zc/s640/DSCN0064.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I inked this tag using acrilic paints. After I used a map clear stamp from Happy Travel Collections:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--IHr7B8iB28/T3090UPnVaI/AAAAAAAACVg/SpwzBSHqpOI/s1600/DSCN0046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--IHr7B8iB28/T3090UPnVaI/AAAAAAAACVg/SpwzBSHqpOI/s640/DSCN0046.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Good Morning Sweet friends!! It's time for another Glitz Design Blog Post and I'm very excited to share some red and teal goodness with you!!! Glitz Design Happy Travels papers are so pretty and I've been dying to make a couple of projects using the sweet bicycle and basket from the set!! I plan on making some wall art using the 12x12 Bicycle Paper very soon, but in the meantime, here's a card using the 6x6 Bicycle Paper!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u9LUucfJIbw/T3Uu0NUhaRI/AAAAAAAAFFA/K1-6rt6lfJY/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u9LUucfJIbw/T3Uu0NUhaRI/AAAAAAAAFFA/K1-6rt6lfJY/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smile.jpg" /></a></div>
I added some hand rolled felt flowers, ribbon and a heart border to enhance the bicycle image which I love so much!
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nubg7OLL8jU/T3Uu0_1K0wI/AAAAAAAAFFI/nCdioHfzMh8/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smilecu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nubg7OLL8jU/T3Uu0_1K0wI/AAAAAAAAFFI/nCdioHfzMh8/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smilecu.jpg" /></a></div>
I kept the bicycle intact on the main panel, but I fussy cut the basket and florals from another piece of 6x6 paper and glued it over the top of the basket on the main panel. I allowed the top edge of the basket and florals to curl to add dimension. I die cut a couple of yard tools out of chipboard and covered them with patterned paper. I painted the tools with a little Tim Holtz Fresh Snow Dauber to age the tools a bit. I took the heart off the sticker and glued the tools on top then added some button twine and placed the heart back on top of the embellishment.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LMJqOKgOoRs/T3Uu1tMIPFI/AAAAAAAAFFQ/lXsaUYFLM1U/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smilecu2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LMJqOKgOoRs/T3Uu1tMIPFI/AAAAAAAAFFQ/lXsaUYFLM1U/s1600/12-April-17-Your-Smilecu2.jpg" /></a></div>
Supplies used:
Glitz Design Happy Travels 6x6 Paper Pad
Glitz Design Happy Travels Layered Stickers
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Other Supplies: Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream Cardstock, Pure Poppy Felt, Button Twine, Heart Border Die, Garden Variety Die; Garden Variety Stamps; My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon; Recollection Pearls; Tim Holtz Fresh Snow Dauber;</span>
In my second card I used a Title Cardstock Sticker as the base of my card:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jr9aUleHSIU/T3Uy10yS_MI/AAAAAAAAFFY/soORsQtmwVA/s1600/12-April-17-Every-Little-Th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jr9aUleHSIU/T3Uy10yS_MI/AAAAAAAAFFY/soORsQtmwVA/s1600/12-April-17-Every-Little-Th.jpg" /></a></div>
I layered the sticker over a doily and added some hand rolled roses, leaves and banners to embellish.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-px365wq7yro/T3Uy3EkdwOI/AAAAAAAAFFo/wYHsGQzG_O4/s1600/12-April-17-Every-Little-cu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-px365wq7yro/T3Uy3EkdwOI/AAAAAAAAFFo/wYHsGQzG_O4/s1600/12-April-17-Every-Little-cu.jpg" /></a></div>

I found a photo of my daughter from last spring. I just love her joy here - hence the title. For the layout I have used the new fantastic line French Kiss. The muted colours are great to add pops of apricot spring flowers to.</div>

An April challenge is up on the Glitz Design blog, and it's a Spring-themed one! We are given the beautiful collage below, for our enjoyment and inspiration. I picked some of the pastel colours from it, and designed two cards - one in cool, breezy tones and another one, sweet and sunshiny.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
Spring reminds me of swallows (and the other way around), and the Whatnot bird from <span style="font-style: italic;">Laced With Grace</span> is so much like it. I chose a coordinating paper, Glitzer and another Whatnot (that I cut out the word "SMILE" from), out of the same collection. I played with textures a lot on this card, just how I like it - embossing, sewing and textiles complete the look. Isn't that a fun colour combo too??
<br />

For the cooler look, I decided to cut into my brand new <span style="font-style: italic;">Happy Travels</span> papers. I especially like this swirly design and built my card around it.

Nicole here and today I would like to share with you a Spring layout that I created using lots of yummy new Glitz Design product. Last year I had so much fun in Washington D.C. at the Cherry Blossom Festival. A few of my friends and I woke up at 4am to get on the bus so we could get to D.C by 5am. to volunteer for the Cherry Blossom 10 mile run.

This month I drew my inspiration from this photo collage. Notice how the collage has several photos in pale colors such as beige, greens and pinks and those are colors I used for my layout. I used a stamped bird and bumble bee image as an embellishment rather than a butterfly from the photo.<br />

Spring is in full swing here in Florida! So are allergies.<br />

We see caterpillars, pollen and blooms wherever we look. My first layout is inspired by spring.

It's my turn to share my take on this month's Glitz Blog Challenge! The theme this month is Spring!! Lea also included a lovely photo (see below) for added inspiration! I saw the butterflies in the photo and went with that...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef0167647c6c40970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img alt="GD Smile" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83548bc0253ef0167647c6c40970b" src="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef0167647c6c40970b-500wi" title="GD Smile" /></a></div>
I punched out lots of flowers from the Pretty in Pink patterned papers and created a soft Spring wreath. I then added some butterflies and a coordinating Glitzer.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef0168e97daf16970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img alt="GD Happy Girls" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83548bc0253ef0168e97daf16970c" src="http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83548bc0253ef0168e97daf16970c-500wi" title="GD Happy Girls" /></a></div>
For my second card, I again started with some Pretty in Pink papers (they are so pretty and Springy, don't you think?). I then added a Peek-A-Boo frame and a French Kiss Cardstock Stcker.<br />
Here's this month's inspiration photo...<br />

Of course, I was busy taking pictures on both our "big" camera and my phone.<br />
<br />
The first layout I want to share today includes photos taken on my phone and shared through Instagram. Out of all of the social media outlets available, right now Intsagram is my favorite. What could be better that sharing photos with your friends and commenting on them?<br />

<br />
It was so fun to work with the new Glitz lines on this page. Here I mixed pieces from the Happy Travels and Pretty in Pink lines. I love the bright pink with a splash of blue!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This layout was inspired by the Glitz Designs April blog challenge. We were challenged to create a spring themed layout and spring break certainly seemed to fit the bill for that topic. I was also inspired by the grid pattern in the challenge photo and incorporated a grid of photos on my page. <br />

While I had the Happy Travels line out, I decided to would be perfect for documenting our spring break week in my Project Life album.<br />

I was so excited about all of the airplane elements in this line because not only did we fly to get to our destination, but we visited Kitty Hawk, NC where the Wright Brothers first flew a plane. Plus we visited the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Lots of aircraft adventures to document from our week!<br />

Since I had so many photos that I wanted to include this week, I used a page protector originally made for coin collectors to hold a collection of my 2x2 pictures. The page protector had 25 slots, but I didn't need that many, so I just trimmed it down to 10 slots. Here's a look at both sides of the page of small photos.<br />

<br />
Did you notice that I used some of the same photos on my Project Life pages on the "Everyday is an Adventure" page? I love documenting the highlights in the Project Life album and then pulling favorite photos to help tell specific stories on my layouts. I think the two styles of scrapbooking bring a nice balance to preserving family memories. <br />

Thanks for stopping by today!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi there sweet friends!! It's time for the Glitz Design Blog Challenge!!! Here's the challenge:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/ltllea23/GlitzApr2012BlogChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="483" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/ltllea23/GlitzApr2012BlogChallenge.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and here's my take on the challenge:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-udVk7pT_uU0/T3UR3uU75CI/AAAAAAAAFD4/nAwoz2u-kN8/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-udVk7pT_uU0/T3UR3uU75CI/AAAAAAAAFD4/nAwoz2u-kN8/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to pull out my Glitz Design Beautiful Dreamer papers for this challenge!! They are absolutely perfect for Spring Themed cards!!! With Easter just a few days away, I couldn't help but make a fun little card for Easter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jNt7QubA5e0/T3UTy0QQOBI/AAAAAAAAFEA/SQtL2TsXhFU/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishescu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jNt7QubA5e0/T3UTy0QQOBI/AAAAAAAAFEA/SQtL2TsXhFU/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishescu.jpg" /></a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
The base for the sweet little Easter Scene is a Beautiful Dreamer Cardstock Sticker. I added some bunnies, butterflies and a hand made flower to complete the scene. I only had one bunny stamp and I really thought the scene needed two. I decided to try out a technique that I had seen on <a href="http://www.jesswitty.blogspot.com/">Jess Witty's Blog</a>. I found a stamp that was thick and flat all the way across. This wood grain stamp was nice and thick and flat. I place the wood grain stamp on the acrylic block wrong side up:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-92ENAAWKUSw/T3UcOfweYsI/AAAAAAAAFEQ/UeipjCV1nLc/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-t1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-92ENAAWKUSw/T3UcOfweYsI/AAAAAAAAFEQ/UeipjCV1nLc/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-t1.jpg" /></a></div>
Then I stamped the image onto the smooth side of the stamp:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IelAOm9niag/T3UcPsTJ9vI/AAAAAAAAFEg/SFTGP5ze9x4/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-tu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IelAOm9niag/T3UcPsTJ9vI/AAAAAAAAFEg/SFTGP5ze9x4/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-tu.jpg" /></a></div>
Then I stamped the "stamped" image onto the paper:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYV7HuUPow8/T3UcOyCY-2I/AAAAAAAAFEY/F0y6Crj2Ebo/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-t2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYV7HuUPow8/T3UcOyCY-2I/AAAAAAAAFEY/F0y6Crj2Ebo/s1600/12-April-3-Easter-Wishes-t2.jpg" /></a></div>
and there you have it, a nice mirror image of the original stamp! It works pretty slick and it's a very easy way to create a mirror image stamp!! The image stamps a little lighter, but still looks great!!!
<br />

I added some die cut leaves, seam binding, hand rolled flowers and a cardstock sticker to complete the card. The rolled flowers made with the Beautiful Dreamer Stripe paper are so pretty!!! I love them!

Georgia Heald- <a href="http://startingtoscrap.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/glitz-design-march-challenge.html">Journey layout</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What isn't to love about Georgia's layout?!! Such a beautiful use of one of our newest collections, Happy Travels. I just love the background stamping and the beautiful cluster of flowers. Georgia cut a paper layer heart and tucked it into the layering behind the beautiful photo...I just love it! The banners peeking from behind each side of the photo are really fabulous too! Awesome job, Georgia! Please email your shipping address to glitzdt@gmail.com, and we will get your prize shipped out!</div>

Polly's card is so pretty, and I just love the colors!! Polly used book printed paper as her background, and for the two scalloped strips...which gave this card a lovely vintage feel! I am totally loving the label layer with the Eiffel Tower and beautiful sentiment...and the aqua flower is a pretty touch!! </div>

Julianne's layout is so gorgeous, and full of so much texture! She crinkled, distressed and inked up her paper layers, and added them behind her photos...and they look just amazing!!

I love the fun colors, and that super cute Whatnot peeking from behind the photo as well!</div>
