Golden Projects

If you had asked me a few years ago if I thought gold would be making a comeback, I'd have laughed at you.  And yet here we are - gold is everywhere!  I know that I am loving it and our designers seem to be too!  Here's a look at some gorgeous golden projects!

  Practical Scrapper Cathy created this "A World of Thanks" with some gold ephemera pieces from Crate Paper's Maggie Holme's Flea Market collection and a few gold sequins!

 

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson used gold rub on stars through out her page

Practical Scrapper Mary Pat used gold Core'dinations cardstock and gold heat embossed sentiment.

Practical Scrapper Becci recycled the inside of a food box for the banner pieces on her layout.

Practical Scrapper Karen began with a gold card base and continued the wow factor by using gold glitter covered leaves, and beaded stick pins for her bold birthday card.

Practical Scrapper Patty painted a wood frame gold to bring out the beauty of this vintage style photo.  She also incorporated gold ribbon and used a gold pen to doodle and add the name and age of the person photographed.
