Mixed-Media Travel Journal {Michael’s Scrapbook Challenge}

May 7, 2013 by Kimberly Jones

Mixed-Media Travel Journal weddings.craftgossip.com

As promised, here’s the mixed-media travel journal I created for the Make Every Moment Count Scrapbook Challenge sponsored by Michael’s. I had so much fun playing with the Heidi Swapp Color Shine collection! I was very impressed with the Color shine sprays. The colors are so saturated and very glitzy. Lots of glimmer and sparkle with just a few quick spritzes. The bottles never clogged, which I’ve found to be an issue with other similar products, and I was even able to layer the colors easily. I love the subtle hint of gold on the chevron resist cardstock and I think the flowers are gorgeous! I added a bit of gold sequin trim for an extra bit of sparkle, and a Polaroid-style frame from Heidi Swapp is the perfect finishing touch.

Heidi Swapp Color Shine on Canvas Stickers

I discovered these fun canvas stickers at Michael’s and thought they would be perfect to spritz with some Color Shine! I used the gold for the banner under the  photo on the travel journal. I have a feeling I will be spritzing everything in sight with this fun product! Many thanks to Michael’s for sponsoring this challenge! Be sure to check out michaels.com for more inspiration and ideas!
