Make it Monday - glitter strips

I guess it's official I'm addicted to these Make it Monday's by PTI. This week the challenge is to use scor-tape to make glitter lines/strips.

I was inspired by my closet. Not for the colours but for the plaid. I have always wanted to try making my own plaid, why not start with glitter!

I used a combo of the 1/8" and 1/4" scor-tape to create the plaid. The pink & purple glitter are Martha Stewart and the black is Making Memories. I was actually amazed to see how much glitter I have considering I hardly ever use it. I know I am guilty of seeing a technique and having to have all of the supplies only to find that it doesn't really work with my "style".

Anyway I am off to nap after my weekend of crazy night shifts. Thankfully I have the best work partner ever to get me through them. Unfortunately last night was her last shift as she has headed off for her mat leave. :(

Oh well I guess a baby is an OK reason to take a year off!!!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

    Kasia,
    This is so pretty. The color combo with the glitter stripes rock. Hope your game this week turns out fun and you don't break anything else. Yikes! You are a trooper in my book.

    This is gorgeous; a brilliant idea to use glittered strips for a checkered pattern. Wow!

    This is stunning. A pastel Plaid is exactly what I thought of doing when I saw the callenge but of course I don't have either the tape or the glitter. Cool to see someone else thought it too.
