Marion Smith Designs & Glue Dots Blog Hop

Welcome to our Marion Smith Designs & Glue Dots Blog Hop!!!!

I am sharing with you all how I created my 8 x 8 Scrapbook Layout 

of my two Mad Tea Party Girls.

I used Marion's Mad Tea Party Paper Collection and her Junque & Gems.

My whole layout was adhered together with the amazing Glue Dots!

I have a picture tutorial to share with below...hope you enjoy.

My Mad Tea Party Girls....Love them!

Glue Dots & Marion Smith Designs

Once I had all my papers, scraps prepared and ready.

I placed a glue dot down on the scrap paper that I tucked behind 

the main layout paper sheet.

I fussy cut out images of the Mad Tea Party paper collection.

I used the 1 inch Glue Dots and Mini Glue Dots to adhere down all my paper

scraps and embellishments.

Also the Glue Dots come off so easy from their waxy paper.

Now placing Glue Dots can be tricky placing onto ribbons, so my trick

is that I remove the Glue Dot with a paper Pericer roll 

it onto your ribbon bow or metal pieces.

I used 1 inch Glue Dot circle folded in on it self, 

to adhere down this Marion Smith Designs 

Junque & Gem and Resins pieces.

Now this was a fun  and easy trick, cause we all know how hard 

it is to adhere down sequins.

Pick up your sequins place down onto the mini Glue Dot .

See how cool and fast this is....now use your paper Pericer to lift them

both off the waxy paper.

Thanks for stopping by,
