Sparkles Aplenty (scrapbooking & making cards)

sparkles aplenty
handmade card - greetings from paradise
If I’ve ever emailed you more than a couple sentences, chances are I signed it with love and glitter, shimelle. And I mean ‘ever’ because I’ve been signing my emails like that since I was fifteen or sixteen years old. A few times I’ve veered away, and each time, someone would reply and ask if something was wrong because I hadn’t signed off in my usual sparkly way. So the glitter is apparently here to stay.

The first year I had an email account, I tried to sign off with love and something unique each time. Love and peace, love and sunscreen, love and obscure literary references… but love and glitter somehow stuck. I used glittertastic as a screen name for a long time and when someone had already taken Shimelle as a username on Twitter, I opted for glittershim. So let it be clear: I am very much pro-glitter.

If you want to hear more of my ramblings about glitter and how it pertains to scrapbooking, have a listen to this week’s edition of the Paperclipping Roundtable – episode 80. Ana Cabrera of Craftification and I talk about all sorts of crazy glitter fun with the regular PRT crew of Noell, Nancy and Izzy. (I even made sure I was wearing glittery nail polish while we recorded the episode, but sadly you can’t really see that from podcast. Imagine it, anyway. Sparkles aplenty.)

For something a little more visual, I have a page (complete with embarrassing junior high photo!) over on the JBS blog too!

(And a happy little card with a bit of sparkle to try to will the weather to give us a few more sunny days!)
