Thankful Scrapbooking Layout using the November Color Kitz


 Hey all, Nicole here using the gorgeous November Color Kitz to make this fun layout documenting a beautiful fall sunset!

I started by making these cool die cut fringe pumpkins using paper from the kit and fussy cutting the THANKFUL banner.  I then used the rest of the patterned paper from the THANKFUL banner page, as well as the golden star paper to make my background.


I added my fringe pumpkins, picture and the THANKFUL banner to my background and then started to embellish.  I used the little medallion stickers from the kit and then die cuts to make three clusters on my page.


I finished my page with some journaling and splatters from the two vibes that come with the kit.

Thanks so much for popping on to read about my layout.  You can still grab the November Color Kitz and use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order.  You can also watch my process for this video here: Thankful Scrapbooking Layout Process

Until next time, Nicole

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Life Itself Is The Most Wonderful Fairy Tale

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                         treasures there!

To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat of it also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.
I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.
 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items.
 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints using paint colors from the 2025 November Color Kitz collection.
 I rubbed on pearl mica powder on a lot of the background, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.



To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle,sisal, a feather, a shell, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   




Inklingz: Good As Gold, and a Penny 4 Your Thoughts.

Shimmerz:  So Sappy,  Carrot Top,  and Crimson Tide.












Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

Fall Scrapbooking Layout Using the November Color Kitz

Hey all, Nicole here with my first layout using the November Color Kitz.  I made a very fall inspired layout documenting me and my friend out for dinner.

The first thing that I did for this layout was to make the banner pieces.  I cut the strips of paper to 2 1/2 inches wide.  I then used a banner punch to make the pieces.  I distressed all the pieces then used foam dots to adhere to my watercolor paper.  I used all 5 paints that come with the kit to add color above and below the banner pieces.


 I then embellished with goodies from the kit in two clusters on the banner.  I also added sequins and thread to my clusters.

I just loved the way this layout turned out!  The November Color Kitz were absolutely perfect for this!  I hope you got some inspiration from this layout on how to use your Shimmerz kitz.  You can still find this kit available in the shop and don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to get a free gift with your order.

I also have a process video that you can watch for this layout here: Fall Scrapbooking Layout

Until next time, Nicole Santos
