It's been a while since my last post :( Guess I'm not a very good blogger. Need to work on that. I have been enamored with the recent 'Gold' trend which is funny considering I used to hate all things gold. I am loving the fun, bold, graphic way it is being used. On a recent trip to Target I found some fun scrapbooking products in their Dollar Spot. Wait till you see all the gold :)
Next up are the kraft stickers. These could be used on scrapbook layouts, cards or packages. I think I will probably try stamping and embossing something in gold on them.
I love this fun ribbon in cream and gold and silver. The packaging on this is so fun too with the die cut bow window. I think it would be cool to incorporate onto a layout somehow???? You get 18 inches of four different types of ribbon.
I also picked up this roll of silver glitter tape. I wish it had come in gold but I like the silver too. It is 1/2 inch wide tape and you get 5 yards of it. It is self adhesive, which I love and I can't wait to see how well it sticks.
I thought these cute little page flags would work well on my layouts. You get 30 of each 5 designs. I will probably use my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to attach these to a layout or I may glue them to one of the gold paperclips I picked up and add it to the layout or I think a row of these peeking out from under a paper layer would be fun.
The last item I picked up in Target for use in my scrapbooking was this gorgeous spool of cream and gold twine. You get 10 yards on the cute little cardboard spool.
Last but not least from Target was this pack of pillow boxes in kraft with silver polka dots. I love me some polka dots *swoon*. You get 4 boxes that I think are sized just right for gift cards and I will pop these in with my gift wrap stash.
I made a quick trip to Office Depot looking for gold paperclips and refill cartridges for my label maker. I had no luck on the cartridges but I did find some jumbo gold paperclips which I think will be fun to add ribbon or washi tape to and add to a layout or card.
While at Office Depot I scored a couple of gold metallic Sharpie markers on sale for 50 cents each!
Well that's my recent scrapbooking/card making purchases. Hopefully I will put some of these products to use this week and get a post up soon showing what I did with them. So who else likes the gold trend?
'Til next time,
Ruth.
