Customizing Your Stash

Do you have a stash of paper that you’d like to add a little kick to? I have another place for you to hop to today. Whew! It’s been a busy week! Today I’m excited to be a Guest Designer at Scrapbook News& Review. If  you’re interested in different ways to customize your patterned paper, be sure to come check it out. I’ve written a tutorial with lots of fun ideas for making what you have look like that expensive specialty paper. The kind that is oh so gorgeous but a little hard on the wallet. Here’s the link

Make sure you read to the end of the post as I have lots of info you don’t want to miss!

Here’s a peek at a few shots of a layout I created for this tutorial. I’ve used two of the customizing paper concepts both of them sparkly and shiny. Unfortunately you’re going to have to use your imagination a little as the light was poor the day I took these photos. They look awesome in person…you’ll just have to trust me. The last picture you can see the detail the best. The glittered bird and floral accents on that darling Webster’s Pages mini page and the stickle accents on the blue floral graphic paper. And yes, I’m still addicted to those Zva Crystals! 🙂
