tip of the day.....

I wanted to talk about glitter today. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it because of the bling and just awesomeness of the gleam. The hate part comes in with the mess. So, I challenged myself when I made this layout to use glitter on my black letters.
1. I sanded my letters a little bit.
2. I added my wet adhesive.
3. I added my glitter, I waited for the adhesive to dry.
4. I shook off the excess glitter and added wet adhesive over the top covering the glitter.
The experiment worked! No more messy lovely glitter everywhere! **If you don't have wet adhesive you can also use spray adhesive.**
So if you are like me and have a "stash" of glitter gathering dust. Don't be afraid of it! Use it! :)

Love your layout! I too have a love/hate relationship when it comes to glitter. I just always make such a mess and I think that is why I do not use it much, but this has inspired me. I need to pull mine out and use it...soon! :)
