pow! bling

No page for any little fairy is complete without a touch (or more) of bling and Heidi Swapp bling never goes out of style! Nic added Heidi's bling here in the form of circles highlighting the smaller photo, and also as a lift for the sparkly SEI Ally's Wonderland chipboard flowers. She cut one of the squares into a photo corner and topped off the gorgeous girly-ness of the entire page by attaching a Heidi Swapp chandelier crystal to her journal tag button.

The SEI flowers come packaged in a gorgeous re-usable little round box and have a delicious coating of teeny sparkles. Also from the SEI Ally's Wonderland range is the huge ric rac and sweet sequin ribbons that Nicole added here!

Suz has used bling on bling on this very colourful and reflective layout.  She has handcut randomly shaped hearts from the divine BasicGrey Urban Prairie patterned papers and either outlined or embellished each of them with different coloured Hero Arts Gemstones.  These gorgeous little jewels come in two sizes in strips with very discreet adhesive which can actually be bent and curved around shapes as well as left in straight lines.  Suz also loves her ghost letters which have a timeless appeal and here she has outlined them in different colours to 'reflect' the hearts above as well as re-inforce the theme of the layout which is about her daughter decorating glass jars.

As far as Donna is concerned, it's all about Bling! She loves it and definitely can't get enough - every colour & every shape. Heidi Swapp Bling! is one product, in particular, that Donna has to include on a layout. A page just doesn't seem complete without it. She particularly loves Bling! borders due to their versatility. Donna simply cuts the number of jewels she requires from the strip and applies to her page making it possible to create her own shapes and curves.

Bling has become a basic for many scrappers these days with so much on offer from shimmer papers through to the trusty brad - which has had a major makeover - with all the beautiful gem brads in every colour of the rainbow available for addition to any page. Jaimie has placed her colourful Love You More gem brads on her page to add 'pop' to her hand embroidered design. Heidi Swapp tiny bling flowers and a subtle title ensure that the page has colour and interest while the focus remains on her photo.

For this layout Mel has used Junkitz blingz (stars) to gently scatter across the page, combined with Heidi Swapp Metallic Silver chipboard letters and Junkitz rhinestonez. The rhinestonez (jewels) have been added randomly to the title to help add a Christmas feel to the layout.

Steph had lots of fun with this Tinkering Ink Flower Booklet, decorating it with Basic Grey Urban Prarie and lots of gorgeous bling. Heidi Swapps Bling Circles were perfect for the shape of this OTP project, and added just that little bit of glamour which highlights the sweet papers.

On the cover under the little bird are Heidi Swapp Chandelier Crystals, one of Steph's favourite bits of bling. They just finish off this project and give it a whimsical feminine accent.
