Pals Paper Arts is having a Bling Fest and Blog Candy Blow-Out!   AND, since Mother Nature isn't cooperating this year, I thought this would be a great time to do a little "Snow Dance".  When it's ccccold like this outside, (daily highs in the 30's) there SHOULD be snow!

Now, back the subject at hand… Bling!  If you haven't tried Stampin'Up!'s Glimmer Paper, you're really missing out.  This glitter paper really holds up through thick and thin, Big Shot die-cuts, distressing and the like.  I had no messy glitter to clean-up after I was done.  There was a time that I had glitter paper anxiety.  I just knew I would have itchy eyes, glitter all over my clothes, skin and carpet.  No more!  Not only does it stay on the paper, it holds on to ink too!  To create dimension, I distressed all of the snowflake edges with Rich Razzleberry using a Sponge Dauber.  Worked like a charm!

Your turn!  Add a little bling to your next creation and upload it to the Pals Paper Arts blog for a chance at their Blog Candy Blow-out.  Hurry…. you MUST have your creation posted by Tuesday, December 13 at Noon CST.
