Sunday Best Scrapbook Page by Janelle Burba

This month I wanted to use my glitter on a scrapbook layout. Since I spend more time on my pages than most, I thought it would be fun to see how I might dress one up a bit with glitter. As I commonly do, I used a photograph for my inspiration for this page. Lately, I have been busy looking through old family pictures and heritage layouts are so important. I love remembering those people, past and present that I love so much. I found an old Easter picture of my mother and sister and since it is spring, I needed to do something special with it.


I began with the Vintage Whimsy Collection by Crate Paper and went from there. I really enjoyed working with the muted pink and blues against the chocolate brown cardstock. I must say these colors are quickly becoming my favorites. After the papers were in place and the photo glued, I added prima flowers and trinkets, some random metal pieces and large letters from Heidi Swap. Tim Holtz helped with the bird cage die cut. I used a cool technique on it to make it look aged. I used several types of glitter in many different colors(see supplies) and some misc. beading. I hope you enjoy it.

Technique for old bird cage:

Die Cut
Cover with Scotch liquid glue...dries clear
Drop Alcohol inks in glue while wet (I used hanzelnut and butterscotch Ranger)
Use heat gun on die to create bubbles and dry glue (creates texture)
Use gold creme paint with finger to highlight section of texturizing ( I love it)
