My Sparkly Friend - Scrapbooking Photos and Memorabilia Together

Welcome to something new that's also something kinda old! I'm revisiting ye olde Glitter Girl Adventures but with current photos, my current style, whatever stash I fancy using (current, old, or in between), and my current habit of scrapbooking the right way up.

I LOVED Glitter Girl so I'm tickled pink that you've come out with this new series!! Yay!!!

[@wendyengland2530]

Yea, Yea, Yea! I loved Glitter Girl videos and was so sad when they/ she went away. Kudos Shimelle!

[@audreyclark7663]

What a special surprise!!!!!!!!

[@olivemaycards]

Peak use what you bought content! Use all the things. Love how that background paper echoed the look of the Pippin backdrop.

[@kishajames3527]

I absolutely loved bringing back this style of instruction video, as I missed watching your friend Glitter Girl! It was also fun listening to WB asking the question. Just perfect! I can’t wait to watch more of these. It is definitely more my style since you add things until you are satisfied, instead of being limited to the kit.

[@pamcook8665]

While I miss the Adhesive Avenger’s voice, I might have squealed out loud when I heard WB! Shimelle! This video made me so happy. I have so much older stash and for some reason, your videos make me see my stash in a new light. Thank you thank you!

[@shimelle]

I promise the AA isn't out to pasture or anything. You still might hear him now and then. But someone has been asking very politely and has the skills, so seems the right time to hire him. I await his invoice.

[@deirdremurray2750]

Love, love, love this! I followed GG back in the day and learned so much about scrapbooking from her. I’m really looking forward to this series! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lesliegilvar2067]

So nice to get an actual ticket. So many places do it all online. (Good for environment, I guess, but bad for scrapbooking!) Love this new series! yay!

[@shimelle]

I may have a habit of going to the box office and asking for a printed ticket sometimes! 🤣

[@chrisbaker5077]

While I love and appreciate this new series and am very excited to see the use of old and new stash, I have to voice my disappointment. A year ago, you started a "use what you buy class" again, I was excited! I truly love watching you and derive inspiration from your classes. HOWEVER, I feel you have dropped the ball it has been 11 months since coming soon for punch class was put out and I purchased this. Your definition of coming soon and mine are completely different! You are still loved, and I understand you may have stretched yourself too thin; But PLEASE finish your commitments before embarking on new ones.

[@melanieevans6570]

Love this series idea!

[@bdebsing]

This is epic! What a fabulous way to bring GG back and revisit her layouts. And I adore your new announcer! Thanks, Shimelle, you are brilliant!😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

[@Valeriearts2]

Love the idea of a readymade card for a pocket and that you’re sharing a new series. Looking forward to this.

[@tait13]

Oh, I love this so much!! Great idea!!

[@tonik6199]

I watched all the glitter girl videos when I stayed watching you.

[@daliam7533]

The most exciting video this week! I learned scrapbooking from the glitter girl! ❤❤❤

[@princesshydec]

thank you so much. i loved this

[@kweeder504]

Love this!! I can use my stash!!

[@susannahthompson7992]

OMG am I excited for this new series! I originally found you through GG and love all of her videos. Using WB in the intro is brilliant!

[@melissaCA76]

What a JOY! Thank you for this, Shimelle! This is the best NSD happening by far! I love that you're using old stash supplies - I think most of us need a little reminder and urging to dig in there and use up the oldies but goodies. 😃

[@kylewatson711]

What a fun concept! Glad to see Glitter Girl returning in a new way. I’ll have my sketches printed and ready for the next video!!

[@agohl85]

I love your lives, but I've missed your sparkly friend. So fun to have her back for a video :)

[@michellepathman8668]

GG are some of my all-time favorite videos!! So glad to see you doing them again! 👏👏👏

[@MelindaSweetman]

Oh my 😍 I’m so excited to see you re-visiting some of your Sparkly Friends ideas & videos!!! GG videos were the first ever I started watch and helped me so much 💖

[@marthastrickland7148]

Wonderful video Shimelle! Thank you for sharing! I look forward to these videos. I enjoyed them back then too 🥰

[@safiabutton]

I think this is a great concept - revisiting GG's tips and tricks to see how to apply them today - and I LOVE that this involves you using your stash rather than showcasing newly bought supplies (not that there's anything wrong with that - it's just nice to have the difference). Also: your voiceover actor needs a raise. I have no doubt he would agree. (lol)

[@annengelhardt6979]

This is the best new series ever. I love it so much

[@readswithemma]

Love this Shimelle, GG was my introduction to the scrapbooking world so very nostalgic and great to see old layouts reinvented, excited for more from this series 😊

[@coripeck985]

I love that WB joined in and helped GG🥰

[@leighjahnke2187]

Oh, I am so glad to see this! I have been going through older video’s using up the leftovers from my BOBW kits. Now I get to scrap along with you in 2024 era!!!! Thank you!

[@inezmericle59]

I’m over the moon!!!! Glitter Girl was my very first scrapbooking Guru💕 (I still revisit, in fact, I just finished the 4x6 series) I loved WB’s announcing 👏👏💕I loved the layout, especially the pocket. I hope this becomes a series along with BOBW!! Well Done 👏👏👏

[@scraparoo60]

Love, love, love this series, this is the way I scrapbook, lots of old stuff, mixed in with new stuff just trying to find the right color for the photos and design! Thank you so much!

[@alisonmcinnes7612]

Loved this Shimelle…looking forward to more! Xx

[@MessyCraftGeek]

I really appreciate this type of video, particularly the shorter length. The longer videos I tend to watch whilst crafting which means I don’t always watch all of them. It’s definitely nice to have the choice of the shorter videos too ☺️

[@leslyedownerd6814]

I love this new series!! WB announcing the question was brilliant❣️ Your sparkly friend’s way of using what is in your stash is a much easier fit for me. This just might be my catalyst to working on layouts other than at crops. 🎉🎉

[@jocelynwoodcock1881]

This is wonderful!! It's absolutely made my day 🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕

[@jeandibb4111]

Loved catching some Sparkly Adventures updated. The AA has updated himself for a younger version too 😁

[@joelginnyhunsberger4920]

My youngest child turned 11 this week. I associate GG with his pregnancy. He started kicking every time the GG theme music started playing. Fun to revisit old with new! I really need to use some Cocoa Vanilla stash. I tend to hoard it.

[@lisazepponi88]

I love this new series! I so enjoyed watching the Glitter Girl video too! I have a mountain of "memorabilia" - lots of newspaper articles that I need to get into my albums! Thanks for the reminders for memorabilia storage solutions and ideas for how to get it on my layout and into my albums!! GREAT video today & from yesterday!!! THANKS!! PS It was fun to see your clean BEAUTIFUL studio! and I love the "new announcer"! Too cute!

[@jodicorry6490]

Eek!! I’m so excited ❤ huge glitter girl fan and I agree while I missed hearing the Adhesive Avenger voice I gasp out loud to hear WB. It’s all wonderful I’m just so happy!!!

[@pocketsofmayhem]

I love the turquoise cupboard doors ♥️

[@tracyboxeth9438]

I love this so much! I love listening to you as you process through what you want to include. Thank you Shimelle!! I totally bought the pdfs!

[@tracyboxeth9438]

Eek, I just opened the pdf! I am so excited! You rock!

[@rcwidowindy]

Love this video! Missed watching you and the lives are good but usually just too long for me to watch. I always learn so much from you! Look forward to this series. Hoping it will inspire me to scrapbook again as I haven't for a couple of years.

[@tanianaldrett8637]

I never could imagine how you used to scrapbook upside down when I’d watch all that time ago.

[@Marzumur]

I can’t believe it’s so long since GG! 😅 I was so happy once I realized what this was about. Love the stashbusting aspect and the whole concept. Looking forward to many more!

[@jenniferscalabrini6819]

I love this series!! So happy to revisit some GG ideas!!

[@jomoore998]

Oh my goshhhh Shimelle this is brilliantttttt!!!!! Loveeee the voice over

[@lesleycrane7474]

Fabulous job on the introduction WB!

[@anncaldwell3999]

Loved this style of video! So looking forward to stashbusuting with you! So happy, the style really suits me as it makes me less likely to use my scrappy time watching videos, and more actually scrapbooking ❤.

[@sandraclarke5425]

Great idea for this series enjoying it ❤

[@darlys1962]

Delightful! 😊

[@micheleparker2150]

I love this! I am just now getting around to the Glitter Girl videos so it will be fun to watch both!

[@virginialopez6539]

Love this so much!

[@KirstyAngus-yl6cr]

I was v excited when I saw this. Squeee

[@lindyholland3273]

Thanks!

[@scrappyguy]

Omg I thought you were collaborating with Peppa Pig because of the narration at the beginning lol! But then I realized your hubby has been recast with your son! So happy to see more process videos from you❤

[@tonik6199]

Awesome 👏

[@carolynvalentine4716]

Love this! Can't wait for more!

[@kmwwrench]

Great fun - but the link to the original video says it's no longer available.

[@shimelle]

All fixed now! Sorry about that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX6pq6prd66iZq8

[@marybing2309]

How do I access sketches I purchased? Thanks

[@shimelle]

It’s an instant download, so when your payment goes through, you can immediately click to download it. Have a look at your receipt email too. It’s all automated - you’re not waiting for me to do anything for this one. Have a look and let me know if you’re still stuck. Thanks!

[@kishajames3527]

BTW The link to the old GG video says it’s unavailable.

[@kimbell9292]

When I tried to watch the glitter girl video it said it wasn’t avaliable

[@debbiemason3340]

Replay!

[@harmonydesroches]

I want to be excited for this, but instead I'm quite disappointed. I couldn't even finish watching the video after you announced you were charging for sketches. IMO you shouldn't be asking for additional money before fulfilling your obligation to those of us who've paid for the Punch class. I've given you grace, I've been patient, & I'm genuinely appreciative of the free content you offer, however it's almost been a year! Ignoring comments & flippant - "it's not ready yet" - responses on the rare occasion you do address it aren't okay. An easy solution would be to complete classes behind the scenes & not release them until they're finalized. I adore you, I truly do, but I'm also going to hold you accountable.

[@shimelle]

I understand this wholly and I’m not going to do a KZbin comment right here to explain because it deserves more than that. I will be addressing it separately and it’s not a flippant response at all. And you are quite right that you and others have given me more than grace.
