Glitzed Berries


Glitz and glam. Ooh laa laa!
I'm really not that type of girl but every now and then it is fun to pull out some glitter! I'll be honest, the best thing I like about glitter is its ability to show up on my husband's face after he comes in all greasy from changing the oil. I think we'll be seeing a lot of pink specs show up around my house...

    I think you either like glitter or you don't. I happen to like bling, glitter, sparkly stuff! I love how you've used it here!

    A little pink glitter in a house full of boys/men is always good! Adorable card Karen!

    LOVE the sparkle and your bold color combo!!! I always like the looks of glitter but when I use it I tend to get more on myself and all over my craft studio than on the actual card/project! HA!
