Bedazzled

If you're looking for a way to spice up your next papercrafting or scrapbooking project, you might just want to check out the Mira Collection. Since its release earlier this year, we'€™ve heard lots of feedback from paper crafters who love the happy, brilliant, saturated hues. It is, indeed, the most colorful collection I have ever designed, and quite a departure from my previous work. The shimmery metallic foil printing, rhinestones, glitter and sequin embellishments add to the bling factor.

To celebrate the beginning of summer, we'€™re hosting a giveaway of goodies from the Mira Collection. To enter, simply leave a comment between May 11 and May 24 on any post. The winner will be announced on May 26. Good luck to everyone!

The following projects were created by the talented design team at K&Co. It'€™s a thrill to see what they have created with this collection!

This lovely little book combines several different papers with jeweled Grand Adhesions and glittered stickers. The colorful, oversized diecut cardstock titles make a big statement!

The sparkly Grand Adhesions shimmer with sequins and rhinestones.

You can use all your scrap papers to create a small accordian book, an easy project that will go together quickly, using Mira Grand Adhesions and Speciality Papers.

This sweet accordian book combines glittered word stickers, glittered alphabet stickers and beaded flowers.

Here'€™s a great little project: create a small scrapbook prior to your summer trip, and fill it with photos and stories when you return. The colorful flowers on the cover were made from a variety of Speciality and flat papers, many of which are already glittered.

With its detailed patterning and rich textures, Mira provides a lovely backdrop for photos. Check out the die cut edges on the citrus paper!

A sweet mini album using patterned papers, diecuts, Grand Adhesions and bejeweled beaded flowers.

These stunning cards were created with Mira'€™s glittered papers, Grand Adhesions, glittered stickers, Tag Pad, and Stitched Tags (with real stitching, sequins and ribbon!).

It'€™s easy to transform a plain cork bulletin board into something sensational. Using the Mira patterned papers, run them through a xyron to get a strong, smooth adhesive bond on the wood frame. Embellish with fabric flowers, ribbon and mementos. Voila...a stunning addition to your studio or kitchen!

Do you have any local appearances planned? I live in the Bay area, and would love to meet you! Several years ago you taught at Scrap Attack for their "Creme de la Crop" scrapbooking event, but I couln't go..... and I watched you on QVC when we had Cable TV. Please be sure to announce your schedule for any events! Thank you!

This is a new look from you, but I love it, too! The colors are so FUN and cheerful.... the projects shown are delightful!

I love my "Brenda Walton~Garden Words" clear stamps, and can see the flowers inked up in bright pink and orange as extra embellishments on a scrapbook page or card. MMmmmmm!

This line is so "YOU" ! It reminds me of a YaYa party on your patio with the two "pool" boys serving all of us . . . the colors are so vivid and vibrant. Again, you've outdone yourself. Used it for a recent fashion show and it was the hit of the day!

Your Mira collection inspired me to start scrapbooking and making mini books. I love the colors in this collection. Thanks.

I used this collection to design a mirror for a little girl's room. I glued some of the Mira Embellishments onto the white framed part of the mirror. Everyone has RAVED about this mirror!!!!
