You Shine





Took a few days off from scrapbooking and my house is now clean, I have been cooking and baking, started Christmas shopping and have begun a new book! But clean houses are overrated and scrapbooking is SO much fun so my "break" is over:-)

I had fun with this layout - I made my own glittery star embellishments and now the sparkles are turning up EVERYWHERE!!! I also broke out the paint again. Click on the layout to see anything bigger or to read the journaling.

I had a heck of a time with the basic grey pearls coming from the star - that is SO NOT it's original shape. It got all tangled up on me, more than once, and I had to piece it together again. Anyone have any great suggestions for how not to get them all tangled up??

Have a great weekend!!
