Glitter, Glitter and more Glitter!

Twisted Sketches is bringing on the GLITTER!  Another amazing sketch from Anam this week and the twist is.....yep you guessed it GLITTER! I scrapped another vintage photo of my mom and dad. This one isn't quite as vintage as the others, only from the 80's!

I glittered the edges of each of the "frames" with some Martha glitter, then I used some German glass glitter on the MME diecut frame. The Thickers I had weren't the right color, so I painted them, then just for good measure dumped some prisma glitter on them while the paint was still wet! All the papers are MME and Crate! Thanks for checking out my page, now head over to TWISTED SKETCHES and play along!
