About Nancy Nally
Love Prima! I love using their white/cream flowers then spritz them with Glimmer Mist to get any color I want to coordinate my project.
A little prima lace sprayed with some dazzling diamonds glimmer mist. Another favie of mine is to mist & glitter one of the gorgeous alpha frames from tattered angels. For the “guy” layouts/cards, I LOVE to paint, distress, & add buttons. These frames are absolutely fabulous!
I have to admit, I am a flower and glitter fanatic!! oh, and butterflies!! Thanks for all you do!!
Hope I win! Flowers and bling do it everytime!
Honestly,Ithink a bit of blind always livens up the page!
For me, the easiest way to jazz it up is to use Glimmer Mist or something similar – it takes away from the layout looking too “sterile” and always makes me feel more artsy. LOL
Right now I’m loving layering patterned paper, decorative tapes and ribbon, topped with brads or buttons
Sometimes a stamped information box or label, highlighted with a little glitter, can go a long, long way in completing a layout.
I quickly pop on bling…anywhere and everywhere! love me some bling
teri
I like the stick on rhinestones or stickles
LOVE, LOVE everything Prima!!! Using Glimmer Mist is my newest “trick” on Prima flowers!
Love a little sparkle with glitter, bling, any type of mists.
My trick is using stickles anywhere and everywhere! Just a touch adds class to anything.
I like to use glimmer mists, pearls and flowers to jazz up my layouts and card.
Ribbons and lace! just a bit always adds texture and fun.
bling…stickles….inking the edges
It is usually with bling or flowers.
Stickles! Or blingy brads.
I like to make a paper flower and then jazz it up with a Prima flower on top. And then add a little squirt of Glimmer Mist.
Love to stamp or ink the less dimensional flowers – although some are just to pretty the way they are. Also like the look of stitching with the flowers – and achieve that by running a perforator blade along the backside of the paper, flipping it over and adding a bit of ink on the raised line it creates — makes the lines look like thread.
I am using handmade flowers on layouts right now.
I’m all about the fibers. Love how they add a touch, but not too much of a touch to a layout.
I think flowers and rhinestones are a nice way to “jazz up” anything! Course, a little bling never hurts, does it?

I say flowers and a little bling are always a nice finishing touch!
my favorite way to jazz up a layout is to add swirly bling, but I usually cut it into smaller pieces and tuck them away in unexpected places so it’s noticeable, but not screaming to look at me first.
Not greedy will take both. wink wink!! kidding either on will do, cuz they are both stunning…
oh a little bling always does the trick. also some mist works wonders too.
Adding different textures is my favorite. Like the Distress It to the edges of the mats; adding ribbons, or textiles like tulle; crinkled paper, dry embossing, etc.
To me is always adding some embellishments grouping than together
flowers n glitter works for me.
The best way to quickly jazz up a layout is to add some Prima flowers and bling.
I resort either to flowers (yeah! Pima) or buttons to jazz up my pages. Thanks for the giveaway!
Nothing looks better then some prima flowers, especially the newer vintage looking one’s with some pearl beading, love it!!
I like to add bling or a touch of shimmer with Glimmer Mist – and enjoy misting the new plain white Prima flowers to custom match my page layouts.
For jazzing up a layout and making it feel complete, I always do something to edges. I want them to feel like there is a finished edge so I add ink, a line in marker, paint, etc.
i jazz up a page with flowers and still love my Stickles when i need a little sparkle
Rhinestones, pearls, ribbon, and flowers – these are really just a few of my favorite ways to dress up cards, layouts and projects.
I love stickles to add a touch of dimension and bling. I also love gemstones.
Ha ha I just wrote about this on my last post
For me inks, ribbons and sewing ‘jazz’ up my layouts. I am a huge Prima-lover and have 8 large colour co-ordinated jars full. Brads ‘finish’ layouts for me and it is rare for me to have a layout with out at least one.
well of course prima are goo d for jazzing up anything! BUT my favourite method would be to add rhinestones either in the centre of flowers or around flourishes or borders. Just adds that little touch of sparkle
